Method and arrangement for enabling link status propagation

摘要: A system and method for implementation of a process that propagates link status across media converter implemented in telecom and/or data com network is provided. More specifically, the comprise XAUI PMA/PMD interfaces support both copper cable different types SFP+/SFP fiber-optic pluggable modules accessing host remote partner, respectively. With method, statuses at sides are being monitored, such change one side will automatically be propagated to other side, by dynamically enabling or disabling respective PMD transmitter opposite physical layer device (PHY) system.
