Unable to set SFP+ port to 10Gb negotiation on MS510TX

Hi, 

 

Since the peer device only support manual link speed.

Is there any way to configue the MS510TX switch to 10Gb?

 

Thanks, 

 

  • Found that is peer SFP module issue, case closed

    No, and it's not required.

    Are we facing fiber or copper SFP+ modules here?

     

     

    On Ethernet copper links, IEEE clearly requires (mandtory) that the link speed -must- be negotiated for link speeds from 1000M and up (faster).

     

    On fiber links there is -no- link speed negotiation, the default speed is used. So the only exception you might have to worry are 10G fiber modules, but you need a 1G link only. The solution is -not- using a 10G module, but install a 1G module instead.  

     

    Does this cause an issue, or is this some (likely outdated) idea or assumption that you "have" to define the link speed?

      Since it shows link down when I set to auto.

      Therefor on the MS510TX I would only able to set link speed to manual 1Gb Full and does not able to set to 10Gb Full.
