EPP - Check the Current Link Quality
A Link-Quality parameter has been added to help support EPP functionality. If connectivity issues are
being observed check the current link quality using the
command and observe the EPP output.
For example:
-> show interfaces 2/1
(
output truncated
)
EPP : Disabled, Link-Quality:Fair
EPP - Diagnose
For ports diagnosed as
Fair
or
Poor
, simple steps can be performed to identify the faulty component.
Since the issue could be with the transceiver, cable, fiber, or the link partner, see the table below to help
determine if the issue is with the link partner and if enabling EPP may help.
EPP - Enabling
If after diagnosing the problem it is determined that the issue is with the link partner and the Link-Quality
has been diagnosed to be
Fair
or
Poor,
EPP can be enabled allowing the system to operate with the defi-
cient receive channels. For example:
-> interfaces 2/1 epp enable
After enabling EPP continue to monitor the Link-Quality.
Configuring Energy Efficient Ethernet (802.3az)
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is a protocol to allow ports to operate in idle or low power mode when
there is no traffic to send. When EEE is enabled on a port it will advertise its EEE capability to its link
partner. If the partner supports EEE they will operate in EEE mode. If the partner does not support EEE
Link-Quality
Description
Good
Link is good
Fair
Link may exhibit errors
Poor
Link will exhibit errors and may lose connectivity
N/A
Link does not support EPP
Media Type
Diagnostic Action
Direct Attached
Copper Cable
•
Disconnect cable from link partner
•
Connect free cable end to unused port of OS6900
•
View the Link-Quality
Good
- The link partner should be diagnosed and enabling EPP may help.
Fair
or
Poor
- The direct-attached copper cable should be replaced.
SFP+ optical
transceiver
•
Replace SFP+ transceiver on OS6900 port
•
View the Link-Quality
Good
- The original SFP+ transceiver is faulty.
Fair
or
Poor
- The fiber cable or link partner should be diagnosed and
enabling EPP may help.
