Service Manual
example for the fec enable command for a 100G interface.
DellEMC(conf-if-hu-1/1/1)#fec enable
DellEMC(conf-if-hu-1/1/1)#show config
!
interface hundredGigE 1/1/1
no ip address
shutdown
intf-type cr4 autoneg
fec enable
Important Points to Remember
● For 10–Gigabit and 40–Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, FEC configurations are not applicable.
● For 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, CR4 auto-negotiation is enabled by default. You can enable or disable FEC and auto
negotiation irrespective of each other.
● For 25–Gigabit and 50–Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, FEC is disabled by default. You can enable or disable FEC and CR4 auto-
negotiation simultaneously.
● To view CR4 auto-negotiation and FEC configurations for 100–Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, use the show interfaces
command.
● For 25–Gigabit and 50–Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, There is no support for CL73-AN (auto negotiation), CL72-LT (link
training), and CL74-FEC (BaseR-FEC or firecode-FEC).

Setting the Speed of Ethernet Interfaces
To discover whether the remote and local interface requires manual speed synchronization, and to manually synchronize them if
necessary, use the following command sequence.
1. Determine the local interface status. Refer to the following example.
