Configure Port Speeds for All VIM Ports

Note

This procedure only applies to VSP 4900 Series.

Configure all of the ports on an installed Versatile Interface Module (VIM) to operate at the same speed.

Note

Some VIMs must operate with all ports at the same speed, while others can operate with ports at different speeds. For more information, see VOSS Release Notes. The sys vim-speed command is supported only on VIMs that must operate with all ports at the same speed. An error message displays if you run the command on an unsupported VIM.

Before you begin

Install the VIM before performing this procedure.

About this task

Note

As a best practice, do not mix 10Gbps and 25Gbps VIMs with the auto parameter.

Use this procedure to configure the speed of all ports in a multi-port VIM to operate at either 10 Gbps, 25 Gbps, or auto.

Procedure

Enter Global Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal
Configure the speed for all of the VIM ports:

sys vim-speed {10000 | 25000 | auto}

Variable Definitions

The following table defines parameters for the sys vim-speed command.


Variable	Value
10000 \| 25000 \| auto	Configures all ports in a multi-port VIM to operate at either 10 Gbps, or 25 Gbps. The command auto vim-speed is enabled by default.
