Configuring IPG on a Gbps Ethernet port
On a Gbps Ethernet port, you can configure IPG for 10/100 mode and for Gbps Ethernet mode.
10/100M mode
To configure IPG on a Gbps Ethernet port for 10/100M mode, enter the following command.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 7/1
Brocade(config-if-e1000-7/1)# ipg-mii 120
IPG 120(120) has been successfully configured for ports 7/1 to 7/12
Syntax: [no] ipg-mii bit time
Enter 12-124 for bit time. The default is 96 bit time.
1G mode
To configure IPG on a Gbps Ethernet port for 1-Gbps Ethernet mode, enter commands such as the
following.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 7/1
Brocade(config-if-e1000-7/1)# ipg-gmii 120
IPG 120(112) has been successfully configured for ports 0/7/1 to 7/12
Syntax: [no] ipg-gmii bit time
Enter 48 - 112 for bit time. The default is 96 bit time.
Configuring IPG on a 10 Gbps Ethernet interface
To configure IPG on a 10 Gbps Ethernet interface, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 9/1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-9/1)# ipg-xgmii 120
IPG 120(128) has been successfully configured for port 9/1
Syntax: [no] ipg-xgmii bit time
Enter 96-192 for bit time. The default is 96 bit time.
IPG on FastIron Stackable devices
On FCX and ICX devices, you can configure an IPG for each port. An IPG is a configurable time delay
between successive data packets.
You can configure an IPG with a range from 48-120 bit times in multiples of 8, with a default of 96.
The IPG may be set from either the interface configuration level or the multiple interface level.
