[j-nsp] MPC-3D-16XGE-SFPP at 1G speed

[Dave Peters - Terabit Systems]

Thanks a bunch.

That's what I was thinking. Really appreciate the confirmation.

And all of the advice. Thanks to everyone.

Yeah those are specifically NOT 1/10, just 10G.  In general with the big MXes the MICs won't do 1/10.  For 1G you need like MIC-3D-20GE-SFP on an MPC or like the DPCE-*-40GE-SFP or similar-ish.  It might be cheaper to just use a cheap EX3300 or EX4300 w/ 2x10 (for redundancy) to the MX if you've a fair amount of 1G that you're connecting...or really...if you're connecting 1G at all to the MX rather than burning a slot (MIC slot or router slot) on 1G interfaces.

I actually can't think of ANY line card nor MIC for MX that does 1/10...

Hi all--

Stupid question, here. Can the MPC-3D-16XGE-SFPP run with 1G optics (e.g. EX-SFP-1GE-SX), and if so, is there a specific port setting I need to commit? I'm running an MX480 with 13.3R8.7, and Uncle Google hasn't been too useful, yet.

I tried:

set interfaces xe-0/0/0 auto-negotiate

inserted the EX-SFP-1GE-SX connected to an outside 1G port, no lights, no joy.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks much.
