Configuring the GE/FE Optical/Electrical Interface

Generally, the ME60-X3  /NE40E-X8    sets an Ethernet interface to an optical or electrical interface based on the interface module's type. If the NE80E/40E cannot identify an interface module, you need to manually set the interface to the optical or electrical mode.

Run:

system-view

The system view is displayed.

Run:

interface { ethernet | gigabitethernet } interface-number

The Ethernet interface view is displayed.

Run:

port-type { copper | fiber-100 | fiber-1000 }

The interface type is set.

NOTE:

When an SFP module is being replaced, the configurations such as the loopback test, interface speed, auto-negotiation mode, and duplex mode on the interface are all restored to default ones. You need to reconfigure them on the interface.

After the port-type command is run, the configurations such as the loopback test, interface speed, auto-negotiation mode, and duplex mode on the interface are all restored to default ones. You need to reconfigure them on the interface.

The parameter copper can be configured in the port-type command only when an optical/electrical SFP module is installed.
