Interface port speed configuration

By default, ports on SR Linux devices operate at the speeds listed in Default and supported port speeds for SR Linux devices. You can optionally configure ports to operate a different speed as long as that speed is supported for the port. On all devices, the Mgmt ports operate at 1G.

On 7220 IXR-D1 systems, it is possible to configure auto-negotiation for the port. See Configuring link auto-negotiation (7220 IXR-D1 only).

Table 1. Default and supported port speeds for SR Linux devices

SR Linux Device

Port range

Default port speed

Supported port speeds

7250 IXR

IMM ports 1-32

100G

40G, 100G

Note: Ports 9-12 cannot operate at different port speeds (some at 40G and others at 100G). The required speed of ports 9-12 is based on the port-speed of the lowest-numbered configured port in this block; if any higher-numbered port in the block is configured with a different port speed that port does not come up.

IMM ports 33-36

100G

40G, 100G, 400G

7220 IXR-D1

Ports 1-48

Ports 49-52

10G

10G

7220 IXR-D2

Ports 1-48

25G

1G, 10G, 25G

Note: If one port in each consecutive group of 4 ports (1-4, 5-8, and so on) is 25G, the other 3 ports must also be 25G. If one port in each consecutive group of 4 ports is 1G or 10G, the other 3 ports must also be 1G or 10G.

Configuring interface port speed

You can configure the port speed for an interface.

--{ * candidate shared default }--[  ]--
# info from state interface ethernet-1/1
    interface ethernet-1/1 {
        ethernet {
            port-speed 100G
            }
        }
    }

Configuring link auto-negotiation (7220 IXR-D1 only)

For ports 1-48 on 7220 IXR-D1 systems, you can configure the interface to use auto-negotiation for the speed, duplex, and flow-control settings. Port speed negotiation for RJ-45 ports (7220 IXR-D1 systems) lists how the auto-negotiation setting inter-operates with the port-speed configured for the interface.

Table 2. Port speed negotiation for RJ-45 ports (7220 IXR-D1 systems)

auto-negotiate parameter setting

Port speed parameter configured?

Port speed behavior

false

No

Bring up the port at the default speed of 1G.

false

Yes

Bring up the port at the configured speed of 10M, 100M or 1G if the other side is configured for the same speed; otherwise, the port state is oper-down.

true (default)

No

All speeds are advertised as supported, and the actual speed is the highest common value between the two sides.

true (default)

Yes

The configured port speed is the only speed advertised. If the port at the other side of the link advertises this speed as well, the link comes up; otherwise it stays down.

The following example configures auto-negotiation and port speed for a port on a 7220 IXR-D1 system. In this example, a port speed is configured, and the auto-negotiation setting is enabled. The SR Linux advertises the configured port speed to the other end of the link. If the other port also advertises this speed, then the link is established; otherwise, the port state is oper-down.

--{ * candidate shared default }--[  ]--
# info from state interface ethernet-1/1
    interface ethernet-1/1 {
        ethernet {
            auto-negotiate true
            port-speed 100M
            }
        }
    }
