Viewing valid media types for an interface
You can use
tmsh
to view the valid media types for an interface.
Note: This platform might not support all of the media type options that are available in
tmsh
.
1. Open the TMOS Shell (
tmsh
).
tmsh
2. Change to the network module.
net
The system prompt updates with the module name:
user@bigip01(Active)(/Common)(tmos.net)#
3. Display the valid media types for a specific interface.
list interface <interface_key> media-capabilities
Important: In all Gigabit Ethernet modes, the only valid duplex mode is full duplex.
This is an example of the output that you might see when you run this command on interface 1.3:
net interface 1.3 {
media-capabilities {
none
auto
10T-FD
10T-HD
100TX-FD
100TX-HD
1000T-FD
1000T-HD
}
}
About 40GbE QSFP+ interfaces
On platforms that include QSFP+ interface ports, you can use the ports as a single 40GbE port or as four
10GbE SFP+ ports.
The QSFP+ ports (2.5 and 2.6) default to 40GbE. The cable that you use when operating at 40GbE is an
industry-standard OM3 qualified multi-mode fiber optic cable with female MPO/MTP connectors at both
ends. You must provide your own cable for 40GbE operation.
You can also disable the 40GbE bundle and use them as individual 10GbE ports (1.1-1.4, 1.5-1.8, 1.9-1.12,
and 1.13-1.16) using a QSFP+ breakout cable. This cable has a female MPO/MTP connector at one end,
