Usage
Information
This command is not applicable for 10–Gigabit and 40–Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
The fec enable command enables Clause 91 error correction on 100G interfaces. On 25G and 50G
interfaces, it enables Clause 74 error correction.
You can enable or disable FEC and auto negotiation irrespective of each other on 100G interfaces.
For 100G interfaces, CR4 auto-negotiation is enabled based on the media type. Autonegotiation is enabled
on DAC cables by default.
