• 1000BaseSX – 1000BaseSX uses short wavelength (SX) laser over multimode fiber.
• 1000BaseSX 2 – Whereas previous releases of 1000BaseSX support a maximum distance of 550 meters,
the 1000BaseSX 2 supports a maximum distance of 2000 meters (2 kilometers).
1000BaseSX 2 is supported on all FastIron X-Series devices. Support was added in release 02.3.01 for the
FESX, FSX, and FWSX.
• 1000BaseTX
• 10GBase-ER
• 10GBase-LR
• 10GBase-SR
• 10GBase-ZR – 10GBase-ZR (part number 10G-XFP-ZR) supports 1550 nm wavelength with a maximum
distance of up to 80 km over single mode fiber (SMF).
Support for 10GBase-ZR was added in release 02.4.00 for all FastIron X-Series devices.
• 10GBase-ZRD – 10GBase-ZRD (part number 10G-XFP-ZRD) supports 40 different wavelengths at 1550 nm.
It supports a maximum distance of up to 80 km over single mode fiber (SMF).
Support for 10GBase-ZRD was added in release 02.4.00 for all FastIron X-Series devices.
• CWDM
The output of the show media command displays the type of media installed in the ports.
Enabling and Disabling Support for 100BaseFX
Foundry’s FESX424HF device supports the following types of SFPs for 100BaseFX:
• Multimode SFP – maximum distance is 2 kilometers
• Bidirectional singlemode SFP – maximum distance is 10 kilometers
To enable support for 100BaseFX on a fiber port, enter the following command at the Global CONFIG level of the
CLI:
FESX424HF(config)# link-config gig fiber 100base-fx e 16
The above command enables 100BaseFX on port 16.
The following command enables 100BaseFX on ports 23 and 24
FESX424HF(config)# link-config gig fiber 100base-fx e 23 e 24
Syntax: [no] link-config gig fiber 100base-fx ethernet <portnum> ethernet <portnum>
You can specify one or two ethernet ports at a time, as shown in the above examples.
To disable 100BaseFX support on a fiber port, enter the no form of the command. Note that you must disable
100BaseFX support before inserting a different type of module In the same port. Otherwise, the device will not
recognize traffic traversing the port.
Viewing the Media Types Installed in the Ports
The output of the show media command displays the type of media (copper or fiber) installed in the ports. The
following shows an example output.
FastIron SuperX Switch(config)# show media
1/1:C1550 1/2:M-SX 1/3:EFM-U 1/4:EFM-D 1/5:M-TX 1/6:M-TX 1/7:M-LX
...
The show media command output can indicate the following media types installed in a port:
• C1550 – CWDM transceiver with 1550 nm wavelength
• EFM-U – 1000Base-BX10-U fiber (uplink) transceiver
• EFM-D – 1000Base-BX10-D fiber (downlink) transceiver
