NOTE:
Starting in software release FSX 03.0.00, all physical IP interfaces on FastIron X Series Layer 3 devices
share the same MAC address. For this reason, if more than one connection is made between two devices, one of
which is a FastIron X Series Layer 3 device, Foundry recommends the use of virtual interfaces. It is not
recommended to connect two or more physical IP interfaces between two routers.
To connect a Foundry device to another network device using a fiber port, you must do the following:
•
Install a fiber optic module (SFP transceiver or mini-GBIC for Gigabit Ethernet ports, or XFP-MSA transceiver
for 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports)
•
Cable the fiber optic module
The following sections provide information about performing these tasks.
Installing a Fiber Optic Module
You must install a fiber optic module in each Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet fiber port you want to use.
WARNING:
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 Lasers.
NOTE:
See “Installation Precautions” on page 3-3 for other hardware installation precautions.
NOTE:
Some older SFP modules (mini-GBICs for Gigabit Ethernet ports) have latching mechanisms which are
larger than the newer parts. These latches could interfere with one another when inserted side by side into a
module. Avoid using these mini-GBICs side by side in the same module. These older modules are identified by the
number PL-XPL-00-S13-22 or PL-XPL-00-L13-23 above the Serial Number. All newer mini-GBICs do not have
this limitation.
Before installing a fiber optic module, have the following on hand:
•
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the chassis.
WARNING:
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
To install a fiber optic module into a Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet port, do the following:
1.
Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector located in the
lower right corner of the chassis front.
2.
Remove the module from its protective packaging.
3.
If necessary, remove the metal cover from the port on the interface module’s control panel.
4.
Gently insert the fiber-optic module into the port until the module clicks into place. The fiber-optic modules are
keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Cabling a Fiber Optic Module
To cable a fiber-optic module, do the following:
1.
Remove the protective covering from the fiber optic module and store the covering for future use.
2.
Before cabling a fiber optic module, Foundry strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the
port connectors. For more information, see “Cleaning Fiber Optic Modules” .
3.
Gently insert the cable connector(s) (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the port connector(s)
until the tabs lock into place.
Cleaning Fiber Optic Modules
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic module (SFP (mini-GBIC) or XFP) and the fiber
cable connectors, Foundry strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and
reconnect them. See “Cleaning the Fiber Optic Connectors” on page 7-1.
