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 plugin 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 fullduplex 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 System Configuration 23

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
