Using Optical Splitters With 10Gbe Links; Supported Configurations - Cisco SCE8000 Installation And Configuration Manual

Using Optical Splitters with 10GBE Links

•
•
When designing a deployment with the SCE8000, it is important to keep in mind certain characteristics
of the 10GBE link that affect the configuration of optical splitters and SPAN ports.

Supported Configurations

Due to the 10GBE characterstics described above, the following configurations are supported in the 10
GBE environment.

Ten Gigabit Ethernet does not support autonegotiation (unlike regular GBE). The fixed 10GBE
configuration is as follows:
duplex = full
–
speed = 10 GBE
–
The 10GBE port is UP once it detects light (and correct sync pattern) in the RX input.
A Switch or Router port will not transmit data unless it is UP (that is, it detects a good signal on the
RX input).
