ACTIVATION SWITCHES X870

Renato_Santos1 — Wed, 20 Feb 2019 03:55:16 GMT

We are trying to activate our new X870 switches. We are conecting this equipament how the image bellow:

unfornatully, the sw x870 doesn't establish connection by DAC and by QSFP+ 40 G.
Some body can help me?

Are there some command to liberate this facilities. The x870 have lincense Core and MPLS.

Thanks.

Renato

What model of x870 and which port# are we talking about.

Could it be that....

We have 870 32C ... I know on ours you must set how the port is partitioned if you are using anything other than 100 gigs... If you did not do this then a 40 gig link will not come up.

configure ports 45 partition 4x10G
configure ports 49 partition 1x40G

Any partition changes will not take effect until you reboot the switch so think through on how you want to lay our and use the ports as best as you can before you put this into production.

I also see a CFP converter in your diagram. Those can be tricky to get up at 100 gigs due to differences in how some vendors do FEC...
