  •   Only AS7726-32X and AS7326-56X support to disable the 10G-Base-KR ports. By default, they are disabled on AS7726-32X and AS7326-56X.
  •   On other platforms, by default, the two 10G-Base-KR ports are disabledtwo 10G-KR management ports linked to CPU.
  •   There is a limitation when enabled the 10G-Base-KR ports as either front panel ports or management ports, namely:
    • On AS7726-32X and N8550-32C, port xe-1/1/32 is not allowed to be split into four Gigabit Ethernet ports.
    • On AS7326-56X and N8550-48B8C, port xe-1/1/8 is not allowed to be split into four Gigabit Ethernet ports.
  •   The interface rate of the two Me ports can only support auto-negotiation mode.

Introduction

AS7726-32X, AS7326-56X, N8550-48B8C and N8550-32C have two 10G-Base-KR ports (10G-KR) on the front panel to support additional high-speed link between CPU and ASIC (switch chip). PICOS supports to configure the two 10G-Base-KR ports as two 10G SFP+ front panel data ports or they can be configured to provide additional high speed links between the switch CPU and ASIC.

Supported Platforms

Currently only AS7726-32X, AS7326-56X, N8550-48B8C and N8550-32C switches have the 10G-Base-KR ports which can be configured as two 10G SFP+ data ports on the front panel or as two 10G-KR management ports linked to CPU. By default, 10G-Base-KR ports are disabled.

Configuration

This section describes how to configure the two 10G-Base-KR ports as front panel ports or management ports linked to CPU.

...

  • From the Linux shell prompt, run sudo picos_boot management-port-mapping command to configure the 10G-Base-KR ports as two 10G-KR management ports linked to CPU. The default configuration is The option [3] No me Port(s),indicating  indicates that the 10G-Base-KR ports are disabledOnly AS7726-32X and AS7326-56X support to disable the 10G-Base-KR ports.
