EdgeSwitch & EdgeSwitch X - SFP/SFP+ Interface Options
Overview
Readers will learn how to configure inserted SFP/SFP+ modules on an EdgeSwitch (ES) or EdgeSwitch X (ES-X).
Defining the SFP/SFP+ Interface Options
The UFiber Multi-Mode fiber SFP module (UF-MM-1G) will be used to interconnect the EdgeSwitch and the EdgeSwitch X.
The UBNT branded SFP/SFP+ modules and DAC cables are officially supported and compatible with all EdgeSwitch and EdgeRouter models:
1Gbps SFP modules
-
UF-MM-1G
Multi-Mode fiber -
UF-SM-1G-S
Single-Mode fiber -
UF-RJ-45-1G
Copper RJ-45
10Gbps SFP+ modules
-
UF-MM-10G
Multi-Mode fiber -
UF-SM-10G
Single-Mode fiber -
UF-SM-10G-S
Single-Mode fiber -
UF-RJ-45-10G
Copper RJ-45
10Gbps DAC cables
-
UDC-1
DAC cable (1m) -
UDC-2
DAC cable (2m) -
UDC-3
DAC cable (3m)
More information about these modules and DAC cables can be found here. There is more information on how to view the statistics of inserted SFP/SFP+ modules in the Verify SFP/SFP+ Modules article.
The SFP/SFP+ ports can be configured like any other interface. Some of the other options available to the SFP/SFP+ ports are:
-
Forced Duplex/Speed
The interface duplex and speed values are set manually. -
Auto-Negotiate Duplex/Speed
Rely on hardware-based Auto-Negotiation to automatically set the duplex and speed. -
Auto-Detect Duplex/Speed
Rely on software-based Auto-Detection to automatically set the duplex and speed (EdgeSwitch only).
If necessary for your setup, follow the steps below to force the duplex/speed on a SFP/SFP+ interface:
Navigate to the Dashboard tab to change the physical mode for the SFP interface in the Port summary section.
Dashboard > Port Summary > Port 9 > Mode > 1Gbps FDX
EdgeSwitch X (ES-X) models will not display the Autodetect mode.
On EdgeSwitch (ES) models, the above configuration can also be set using the CLI:
Enter the following configuration to change the physical mode for port 9:
enable
configure
interface 0/9
no auto-negotiate
speed 1000 full-duplex
exit
end
write memory
Verify the configuration and physical link status with the command below:
show interfaces status all
Link Physical Physical Flow Control
Port Name State Mode Status Status
--------- ---------------------------- ------ ---------- ---------- ------------
0/9 Up 1000 Full 1000 Full Inactive
