Important

To configure FEC or Speed that is different than the default, you must configure both sides.

The following are examples of when FEC detection capability is available:

  • when a 25G SFP module is connected to card, it will support FEC detection in 25G

  • when a 100G QSFP module is connected to a card, it will support FEC detection in 100G, but not in 50G or 25G
