When designing a deployment with the Cisco SCE 8000, it is important to keep in mind certain
characteristics of the 10 GBE link that affect the configuration of optical splitters and SPAN ports:

Supported Configurations
With regard to the 10 GBE characteristics described in the introduction, the following configurations are
supported in the 10 GBE environment as shown in
10 GBE does not support autonegotiation (unlike regular GBE). The fixed 10 GBE configuration is
as follows:
duplex = full
–
speed = 10 GBE
–
The 10 GBE port is UP once it detects light (and correct sync pattern) in the RX input.
A Switch or Router port will not transmit data unless it is UP (that is, it detects a good signal on the
RX input).
