Switched UNI with channelization
S-UNI operates on channelized ports. When an interface is dechannelized, the S-UNI interface
cleans up all the channels.
If S-UNI is operating on channel 1/1/1 and 1/1/2, and the circuit is dechannelized, the 1/1/1
configuration is saved and the commands are configured on 1/1. The configuration on 1/1/2 is
deleted.
Auto MDIX
Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (Auto-MDIX) automatically detects the need for a
straight-through or crossover cable connection and configures the connection appropriately. This
removes the need for crossover cables to interconnect switches and ensures either type of cable
can be used. The speed and duplex setting of an interface must be set to Auto for Auto-MDIX to
operate correctly.
Auto MDIX is supported on all platforms with fixed copper ports. All fixed copper ports are
supported.
CANA
Use Custom Auto-Negotiation Advertisement (CANA) to control the speed and duplex settings that
the interface modules advertise during Auto-Negotiation sessions between Ethernet devices.
Modules can only establish links using these advertised settings, rather than at the highest common
supported operating mode and data rate.
Use CANA to provide smooth migration from 10/100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps on host and server
connections. Using Auto-Negotiation only, the switch always uses the fastest possible data rates. In
limited-uplink-bandwidth scenarios, CANA provides control over negotiated access speeds, and
improves control over traffic load patterns.
You can use CANA only on fixed RJ-45 Ethernet ports. To use CANA, you must enable Auto-
Negotiation.
Important:
If a port belongs to a MultiLink Trunking (MLT) group and you configure CANA on the port (that
is, you configure an advertisement other than the default), you must apply the same
configuration to all other ports of the MLT group (if they support CANA).
Important:
CANA is supported on the 8424XT ESM, the 8424XTQ ESM, the 8424GT ESM and the VSP
7254XTQ.
