Using Optical Splitters with 10 GBE Links
Revised: August 26, 2014
Introduction
When designing a deployment with the Cisco SCE 8000, it is important to keep in mind certain
characteristics of the 10 GBE link that affect the configuration of optical splitters and SPAN ports:
• 10 GBE does not support autonegotiation (unlike regular GBE). The fixed 10 GBE configuration is
as follows:
– duplex = full
– speed = 10 GBE
• The 10 GBE port is UP once it detects light (and correct sync pattern) in the RX input.
• A Switch or Router port will not transmit data unless it is UP (that is, it detects a good signal on the
RX input).
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Supported Configurations, page A-1
• Unsupported Configuration, page A-2
Supported Configurations
With regard to the 10 GBE characteristics described in the introduction, the following configurations are
supported in the 10 GBE environment as shown in Figure A-1 and Figure A-2.
