Description

You might need to configure the channelized ports with different speeds to adjust to the needs of the network, this document shows a simple example of how to do it:

Symptoms

Need to configure the speed of each channel independently.

Solution

  • First, go to the configure mode, using the interfaces xe-0/0/0:0 for this example, we check the supported speeds (this depends on the FPC card being used more than the SFP):


lab@g05-42# set interfaces xe-0/0/0:0 speed ?

Possible completions:

 100m         

 10g          

 10m          

 1g          

 auto         Enable auto negotiation of interface speed

 auto-10m-100m    Enable auto negotiation of limiting interface speed to 10m/100m

  

  • Different speeds for the 4 ports are configured and then you can do a "show | compare" to confirm the changes:


lab@g05-42# set interfaces xe-0/0/0:0 speed 1g

lab@g05-42# set interfaces xe-0/0/0:1 speed 10g

lab@g05-42# set interfaces xe-0/0/0:2 speed 100m

lab@g05-42# set interfaces xe-0/0/0:3 speed 10m


[edit]

lab@g05-42# show | compare 

[edit interfaces]

+  xe-0/0/0:0 {

+    speed 1g;

+  }

+  xe-0/0/0:1 {

+    speed 10g;

+  }

+  xe-0/0/0:2 {

+    speed 100m;

+  }

+  xe-0/0/0:3 {

+    speed 10m;

+  }


  • We do then a "commit check" to verify the configuration is valid, as the check is successful we then confirm the changes:


[edit]

lab@g05-42# commit check 

configuration check succeeds


lab@g05-42# commit 

commit complete


  • We then confirm the changes are effective:

lab@g05-42> show configuration interfaces       

xe-0/0/0:0 {

  speed 1g;

}

xe-0/0/0:1 {

  speed 10g;

}

xe-0/0/0:2 {

  speed 100m;

}

xe-0/0/0:3 {

  speed 10m;

}
