6.6 .edge - 25G vs 100G Operation
This topic describes how to change the operating mode of a processing blade.
Overview
Each processing blade can run in one of two operating modes: either 25G or 100G. The mode determines which media ports
are active: either 4 x 25GbE (via SFP28) or 2 x 100GbE (via QSFP28).
25G comes as standard; 100G requires an optional license.
25Gbps supports SD and HD format; 100Gbps is required for 3G and UHD.
By default, every processing blade is set to operate at 25G. If a valid 100G license is available, then a blade can be set to
operate at either 25G or
100G.
Licensing Information
The .edge_100g software license enables the 2 x 100GbE option for the media network interfaces. It allows the processing
blade to operate at 100Gbps and enables support of 3G and 12G format signals.
Licensing Requirements:
Requires 1 x .edge_100g license (per blade).
License Activation
All of the licensed features are managed using the License Configuration parameters ( in HOME's Advanced
parameters ). Please follow the steps to upload and fetch the license(s).
Changing the Operating Mode
If a 100G license is available, then the operating mode can be changed from either the General or Advanced tab. The
simplest method is to use the General tab (as shown below).
Changing the Operating Mode
After a change of operating mode, a processing blade reboots to load the new configuration. Note that this can
take up to 6 minutes (as the change of mode forces a change of FPGA).
