device(config-if-e1000-7/1)# ipg-gmii 120
IPG 120(112) has been successfully configured for ports 7/1 to 7/12
• When you enter a value for IPG, the device applies the closest valid IPG value for the port mode to
the interface. For example, if you specify 120 for a 1 Gbps Ethernet port in 1 Gbps mode, the device
assigns 112 as the closest valid IPG value to program into hardware.
Configuring IPG on a Gbps Ethernet port
On a Gbps Ethernet port, you can configure IPG for 10/100 mode and for Gbps Ethernet mode.
10/100M mode
To configure IPG on a Gbps Ethernet port for 10/100M mode, enter the following command.
device(config)# interface ethernet 7/1
device(config-if-e1000-7/1)# ipg-mii 120
IPG 120(120) has been successfully configured for ports 7/1 to 7/12
Syntax: [no] ipg-mii bit-time
Enter 12-124 for bit time . The default is 96 bit time.
1G mode
To configure IPG on a Gbps Ethernet port for 1-Gbps Ethernet mode, enter commands such as the
following.
device(config)# interface ethernet 7/1
device(config-if-e1000-7/1)# ipg-gmii 120
IPG 120(112) has been successfully configured for ports 0/7/1 to 7/12
Syntax: [no] ipg-gmii bit-time
Enter 48 - 112 for bit time . The default is 96 bit time.
Configuring IPG on a 10 Gbps Ethernet interface
To configure IPG on a 10 Gbps Ethernet interface, enter commands such as the following.
device(config)# interface ethernet 9/1
device(config-if-e10000-9/1)# ipg-xgmii 120
IPG 120(128) has been successfully configured for port 9/1
Syntax: [no] ipg-xgmii bit-time
Enter 96-192 for bit time . The default is 96 bit time.
IPG on FastIron Stackable devices
On FCX and ICX devices, you can configure an IPG for each port. An IPG is a configurable time delay
between successive data packets.
You can configure an IPG with a range from 48-120 bit times in multiples of 8, with a default of 96. The
IPG may be set from either the interface configuration level or the multiple interface level.
