25Gb Link Establishment InterOp
Currently, not all 25Gb vendors are 25Gb-spec compliant:
• Some doesn’t support AN (CL-73) – this is required by spec for DA cables
• Some support only Consortium AN and not IEEE802.3by
• Some doesn’t support FEC – FEC is mandatory in 25G link speed
• Some support only BaseR-FEC and not RS-FEC – RS-FEC must be used when operating with long DA cables or
optical SR modules
• Any mix & match of the above
FVL25 implements an LESM (Link Establishment State Machine) to establish link with all
non-spec compliant link-partners
Supported Accessories
• SFP28 DAC (CR/CRS) Using auto-negotiation (CL-73) for both IEEE803.2by and 25G-Consortium,
• 25GbE SR optics
• 10G-SFI for SFP+ DA cables and SR/LR optical modules
• QSFP28 to 4 SFP28 breakout cables.
