Configuring the GE/FE Optical/Electrical Interface on Huawei NE40E

Generally, the Huawei ME60/Huawei NE40E   sets an Ethernet interface to an optical or electrical interface based on the interface module's type. If the NE80E/40E cannot identify an interface module, you need to manually set the interface to the optical or electrical mode.

Run:

system-view

The system view is displayed.

Run:

interface { ethernet | gigabitethernet } interface-number

The Ethernet interface view is displayed.

Run:

port-type { copper | fiber-100 | fiber-1000 }

The interface type is set.

Once the SFP module is identified, the system can automatically set the interface type according to the type of the SFP module. No configuration is required.

If the SFP module that cannot be identified works well, you need to forcibly set the interface type.

 NOTE:

When an SFP module is being replaced, the configurations such as the loopback test, interface speed, auto-negotiation mode, and duplex mode on the interface are all restored to default ones. You need to reconfigure them on the interface.

After the port-type command is run, the configurations such as the loopback test, interface speed, auto-negotiation mode, and duplex mode on the interface are all restored to default ones. You need to reconfigure them on the interface.

The parameter copper can be configured in the port-type command only when an optical/electrical SFP module is installed.
