Creating a FlexE Group and Binding a FlexE Physical Interface to It

Procedure

1. Run system-view

   The system view is displayed.

2. Run flexe group group-index

   A FlexE group is created and its view is displayed, or the view of a specified existing FlexE group is displayed.

3. Run binding interface interface-type interface-number

   A specified FlexE physical interface is bound to the FlexE group.

4. (Optional) Run padding enable

   Padding is enabled.

5. (Optional) Run timeslot-negotiation mode disable

   Timeslot negotiation is disabled.

   

   If the timeslot mode has been configured on the FlexE card where the PHYs bound to a FlexE group reside, ensure that the FlexE clients in the group are not bound to any sub-timeslots before disabling timeslot negotiation.

   • If the peer device does not support timeslot negotiation, you need to disable it in the FlexE group view of the local device.
   • The same timeslot negotiation mode must be configured for the FlexE groups on both ends. Otherwise, the FlexE interfaces may fail to go up or fail to forward traffic after a reliability operation (such as an active/standby switchover, subcard reset, or interface shutdown/startup) is performed.
   • After timeslot negotiation is disabled for the FlexE groups on both ends, the same timeslot number must be configured for the corresponding FlexE clients. Otherwise, the FlexE interfaces may fail to go up or fail to forward traffic.

6. Run commit

   The configuration is committed.
