Configuring FEC
FEC has the following restrictions:
• FEC is supported on the DS-X9334-K9, DS-X9648-1536K9, and DS-X9448-768K9 modules in the
• FEC fallback is not supported on the Cisco MDS 9700 48-Port 32-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module
• Modifying FEC configuration briefly disrupts traffic on the port.
• FEC can be configured only on fixed speed 16-Gbps Fibre Channel ports. FEC is not supported for ports
• 32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports come up automatically in FEC. You do not have to configure the ports
• From Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 6.2(11c), FEC with Transmitter Training Signal (TTS) is supported
• From Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.2(1), FEC with TTS feature is supported in Simple Network
• DM uses SNMP to get switch updates.
To configure FEC on an interface on the 48-port 16-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module, perform these
steps:
Step 1

and Cisco MDS 9396S Multilayer Fabric Switch.

Note
FEC is supported in DM.
