[AusNOG] Megaport - Link Negotiation

[James Braunegg]

Dear Skeeve

All good… I guess Brocade is more “special” than Cisco and Juniper… not …

That being said AusNOG is a fantastic place for education and learning…

For those interested I updated the page with specific information on the Brocade SFP optics were are using as everyone was asking for this.

Interesting.

I'm not a Brocade person... but I've not seen this possible with Juniper and Cisco... hmmmmm.

Do they ports have to be 1/10?  I have seen some switches that suggest this.

A good day is when you learn something new.

Dear Skeeve

I beg to differ…….

Please find an example and screen capture below demonstrating that running 10gbit fibre SFP+ into a 1gbit SFP port is possible and does work.

Dear All

If you have a Single mode 10gbit SFP+ (used in say a Brocade MLXe router, like what Megaport use)

And plug this into a 1gbit SFP single mode (at the other end, i.e. your equipment) the service will connect and work at 1gbit perfectly ;-)

Are you asking if its possible, or have you noticed a fault where your current connection has negotiated down to 1gbps?

Hi AUSNOG,

I am wondering if anyone peering with Megaport has negotiated down to Gigabit on their inter-connect?

Thanks

Dylan.
