Enabling and disabling100BaseFX
on FESX Compact device
This section shows how to enable 100BaseFX on a FESX Compact device.
The Brocade device supports the following types of SFPs for 100BaseFX:
• Multimode SFP – maximum distance is 2 kilometers
• Long Reach (LR) – maximum distance is 40 kilometers
• Intermediate Reach (IR) – maximum distance is 15 kilometers
For information about supported SFP and SFP+ transceivers on FastIron devices, refer to the
following Brocade website:
http://www.brocade.com/downloads/documents/data_sheets/product_data_sheets/Optics_
DS.pdf
NOTE
Connect the 100BaseFX fiber transceiver after configuring both sides of the link. Otherwise, the link
could become unstable, fluctuating between up and down states.
To enable 100BaseFX on a fiber port, enter the following command at the Global CONFIG level of
the CLI.
Brocade(config)# link-config gig fiber 100base-fx ethernet 4
The above command enables 100BaseFX on port 4.
The following command enables 100BaseFX on ports 3 and 4
Brocade(config)# link-config gig fiber 100base-fx ethernet 3 ethernet 4
Syntax: [no] link-config gig fiber 100base-fx ethernet [<port>] ethernet [<port>]
The <port> variable is a valid port number. You can list all of the ports individually, use the keyword
to to specify ranges of ports, or a combination of both.
To disable 100BaseFX support on a fiber port, enter the no form of the command. Note that you
must disable 100BaseFX support before inserting a different type of module In the same port.
Otherwise, the device will not recognize traffic traversing the port.
Enabling and disabling 100BaseFX on
Chassis-based and stackable devices
NOTE
The following procedure applies to Stackable devices and to Chassis-based 100/1000 Fiber
interface modules only. The CLI syntax for enabling and disabling 100BaseFX support on these
devices differs than on a Compact device. Make sure you refer to the appropriate procedures. These
are not supported on ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices.
FastIron devices support the following types of SFPs for 100BaseFX:
• Multimode SFP – maximum distance is 2 kilometers
• Long Reach (LR) – maximum distance is 40 kilometers
• Intermediate Reach (IR) – maximum distance is 15 kilometers
