Overview

Readers will learn how to configure inserted SFP/SFP+ modules on an EdgeSwitch (ES) or EdgeSwitch X (ES-X).

Defining the SFP/SFP+ Interface Options

The UFiber Multi-Mode fiber SFP module (UACC-OM-MM-1G-D-2 (formerly UF-MM-1G)) will be used to interconnect the EdgeSwitch and the EdgeSwitch X.

The UBNT branded SFP/SFP+ modules and DAC cables are officially supported and compatible with all EdgeSwitch and EdgeRouter models:

Fiber SFP modules (1 Gbps)

• UACC-OM-MM-1G-D-2 (formerly UF-MM-1G)
• UACC-OM-SM-1G-S (formerly UF-SM-1G-S)

Fiber SFP+ modules (10 Gbps)

• UACC-OM-MM-10G-D (formerly UF-MM-10G)
• UACC-OM-SM-10G-D (formerly UF-SM-10G)
• UACC-OM-SM-10G-S (formerly UF-SM-10G-S)

Copper SFP modules (1 Gbps and 10 Gbps)

• UACC-CM-RJ45-1G (formerly UF-RJ-45-1G)
• UACC-CM-RJ45-10G (formerly UF-RJ-45-10G)

DAC cables (10 Gbps)

• UACC-DAC-SFP10-0.5M (formerly UDC-0.5)
• UACC-DAC-SFP10-1M (formerly UDC-1)
• UACC-DAC-SFP10-2M(formerly UDC-2)
• UACC-DAC-SFP10-3M (formerly UDC-3)

More information about these modules and DAC cables can be found here. There is more information on how to view the statistics of inserted SFP/SFP+ modules in the Verify SFP/SFP+ Modules article.

The SFP/SFP+ ports can be configured like any other interface. Some of the other options available to the SFP/SFP+ ports are:

• Forced Duplex/Speed The interface duplex and speed values are set manually.
• Auto-Negotiate Duplex/Speed Rely on hardware-based Auto-Negotiation to automatically set the duplex and speed.
• Auto-Detect Duplex/Speed Rely on software-based Auto-Detection to automatically set the duplex and speed (EdgeSwitch only).

If necessary for your setup, follow the steps below to force the duplex/speed on a SFP/SFP+ interface:

Navigate to the Dashboard    tab to change the physical mode for the SFP interface in the Port summary section.

Dashboard > Port Summary > Port 9 > Mode > 1Gbps FDX

On EdgeSwitch (ES) models, the above configuration can also be set using the CLI:

Enter the following configuration to change the physical mode for port 9:

enable
configure
interface 0/9
 no auto-negotiate
 speed 1000 full-duplex
 exit
end
write memory

Verify the configuration and physical link status with the command below:

show interfaces status all
                                         Link    Physical    Physical    Flow Control
Port       Name                          State   Mode        Status      Status
---------  ----------------------------  ------  ----------  ----------  ------------
0/9                                      Up      1000 Full   1000 Full   Inactive
