Extreme Networks 10018 manual LW Xenpak, Switch Model Required Software Release

Extreme Networks XENPAK Transceivers

For technical specifications for the ZR XENPAK, see Technical Specifications.

Warning

To prevent permanent damage to the ZR XENPAK and other equipment: always check the optical input power of the receiver before inserting the fiber. The maximum optical input power for the receiver is -7 dBm. If you use optical loopback for diagnostics purposes, the loopback requires a minimum of 15 dB optical attenuation. Therecommended attenuation range is 15 dB to 20dB.

LW XENPAK

The LW XENPAK module requires the software versions listed here.

Table 14: BlackDiamond Switches

Switch Model	Required Software Release
BlackDiamond 10808	ExtremeXOS 11.4.1 or later
BlackDiamond 12804	ExtremeXOS 11.4.1 or later
BlackDiamond 12802	ExtremeXOS 12.0 or later

Table 15: Summit Switches

Switch Model	Required Software Release
Summit X450a	ExtremeXOS 11.5.0 or later
Summit X450e	ExtremeXOS 11.5.0 or later

Note

BlackDiamond 10808 switches and BlackDiamond 12804 switches running software earlier than ExtremeXOS 11.4.2.3 do not support jumbo-size frame for the LW XENPAK. These switches support only standard-size frame for the LW XENPAK.

BlackDiamond 10808 switches and BlackDiamond 12804 switches running the latest version of ExtremeXOS 11.4 support jumbo-size frame for the LW XENPAK with a 5% decrease in performance, allowing for 95% of the maximum WAN PHY traffic.

ExtremeXOS 11.5.0 or later supports the LW XENPAK at full functionality with 100% performance in the Summit X450a and X450e series switches.

Caution

The maximum input power (average receive power) should be less than 0.5 dBm.

For technical specifications for the LW XENPAK, see Technical Specifications.

Transmitter Clock Locking Mode

The LW XENPAK module provides an interface connection between a 10-gigabit Ethernet and a 10- gigabit SONET/SDH network from a 10-gigabit Ethernet equipment port.
