Setup Guide

To disable FEC, use the no fec enable command.
• Set to default FEC value.
INTERFACE mode
fec default
• Verify the conguration.

Example of the fec enable Command
example for the fec enable command for a 100G interface.

fec enable
Important Points to Remember
• For 10–Gigabit and 40–Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, FEC congurations are not applicable.
• For 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, CR4 auto-negotiation is enabled by default. You can enable or disable FEC and auto negotiation
irrespective of each other.
• For 25–Gigabit and 50–Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, FEC is disabled by default. You can enable or disable FEC and CR4 auto-
negotiation simultaneously.
• To view CR4 auto-negotiation and FEC congurations for 100–Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, use the show interfaces command.
• For 25–Gigabit and 50–Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, There is no support for CL73-AN (auto negotiation), CL72-LT (link training), and
CL74-FEC (BaseR-FEC or recode-FEC).
