• Description:

Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII) is an interface between the Media Access Control (MAC) device and the physical layer (PHY). The RGMII interface defines speed up to 1000Mbps and can also operate on fall-back speeds of 10/100 Mbps. Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII) is not supported in ML-410 due to its physical wire layout. In order to get Gigabit ethernet on ML-410, users can take advantage of RGMII interface instead of GMII interface with proper configuration described in this tutorial.
