Automatic MDI/MDIX Detection
All 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet Copper ports on the Foundry FastIron devices support automatic Media
Dependent Interface (MDI) and Media Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) detection. This feature is enabled
on all 10/100 and Gigabit copper ports by default. For each port, you can disable auto MDI/MDIX, designate the
port as an MDI port, or designate the port as an MDIX port.
For more information about this feature and how configure it, see the Foundry FastIron Configuration Guide .
Using a CX4 Transceiver
A twin-axial 10G copper CX4 XFP transceiver can be installed in any 10G port. For a link to operate properly, both
sides must use identical CX4 transceivers.
The CX4 transceiver requires a 15 meter CX4-grade cable with 24 or 26 American Wire Gauge (AWG). This cable
can be purchased from Foundry Networks. Refer to part number CAB-CX4-0050 when ordering.
NOTE: The CX4 transceiver is not hot-swappable.
Testing Network Connectivity
After you install the network cables, you can test network connectivity to other devices by pinging those devices.
You also can observe the LEDs related to network connection and perform trace routes.
Pinging an IP Address
To verify that a Foundry device can reach another device through the network, enter a command such as the
following at any level of the CLI on the Foundry device:
FastIron> ping 192.33.4.7
Syntax: ping <ip addr> | <hostname> [source <ip addr>] [count <num>] [timeout <msec>] [ttl <num>] [size <byte>]
[quiet] [numeric] [no-fragment] [verify] [data <1-to-4 byte hex>] [brief]
See the Foundry FastIron Configuration Guide for information about the parameters.
