Description

MPC10e-MRATE cards port and pic profile configuration.

Symptoms

MPC10e-MRATE can operate in either PIC mode or Port mode.
By Default all ports of MPC10e are based on pic mode and all ports will be 100g.
And if we are using pic mode then we should ensure that all of them are having pic mode configuration.
Because of the below configuration we are only seeing 100g port and not the 40g port.

set chassis member 0 fpc 1 pic 1 port 0 speed 100g
set chassis member 1 fpc 1 pic 1 port 0 speed 100g

Solution

When using port based configuration we need to configure all the ports with the speed configured to have consistent behavior.

set chassis member 0 fpc 1 pic 1 port 0 speed 100g
set chassis member 0 fpc 1 pic 1 port 1 speed 40g
set chassis member 1 fpc 1 pic 1 port 0 speed 100g
set chassis member 1 fpc 1 pic 1 port 1 speed 40g
