10GBASE-T Plug-in Module Configuration

NOTE:
This feature is applicable to the PowerConnect M6220 and M8024 switches only.
The PowerConnect M6220 and M8024 switches provide two 10-Gigabit module slots that support plug-
in modules:
• The M6220 supports CX-4, SFP+, XFP, and 10GBASE-T modules. The 10GBASE-T may only be used
on bay 2.
• The M8024 supports CX-4, SFP+, and 10GBASE-T modules.
When using 10GBASE-T modules, you can configure the ports as follows:
• Limit the port autonegotiation options — The switching mode for each of the 10GBASE-T module
ports is selected through autonegotiation and cannot be manually configured. However, you can
specify the switching modes advertised during autonegotiation. The software supports 1G, 10G, and
100M modes (full-duplex), which are advertised by default.
NOTE:
The M6220 switch supports 1G and 10G modes only. The M8024 switch supports 100M, 1G, and 10G full-
duplex modes.
• Configure the port to enter low-power mode when no cable is connected (M8024 switch only) — In
low-power mode, most of the transmit, receive, and signal processing functions are disabled to
minimize power draw. The management interface remains operational. You can configure each of the
10GBASE-T module ports to automatically enter low-power mode when no cable is connected.

CLI Examples

Example #1: Limit the Set of Autonegotiation Options
The following example limits the switch mode options that are advertised during autonegotiation to 1G,
full-duplex.
console(config-if-1/xg17)#negotiation 1000f
Use a space to separate additional modes:
console(config-if-1/xg17)#negotiation 1000f 10000f
Example#2: Configure Low-Power Mode When No Cable is Connected (M8024 switch only)
The following example enables the port to automatically enter low-power mode when no cable is
connected:
console(config-if-1/xg17)#low-power
