History
Version 8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage
Information
Starting with Dell Networking OS Release 9.3(0.0), you can also view the
configuration of 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces by using the fortyGigE keyword
with the
show interface interface-type brief command. For a 40-Gigabit
Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
fortyGigE followed by the slot/port
information to indicate the interface.
Use the show interfaces command for details on a specific interface. Use the
show interfaces stack-unit command for details on all interfaces on the
designated stack unit.
On the MXL switch, the show interface output displays incorrect rate
information details over time for link monitoring when the rate-interval is
configured for 5 seconds. Dell Networking OS recommends using higher rate-
intervals, such as 15 to 299 seconds, to minimize the errors seen.
NOTE: In the CLI output, the power value is rounded to a 3-digit value. For
receive/transmit power that is less than 0.000, an snmp query returns the
corresponding dbm value even though the CLI displays as 0.000.
NOTE: After the counters are cleared, the line-rate continues to increase until
it reaches the maximum line rate. When the maximum line rate is reached,
there is no change in the line-rate.
