On some Extreme Networks switch models, you can configure QSFP28 ports either as single ports or as multiple, partitioned ports in Switch Engine, or channelized ports in Fabric Engine. In a partitioned or channelized port, with appropriate cabling, the original physical port can accommodate multiple data lanes at lower bandwidths. Ports are not partitioned by default.
The following options are available:
| Device | Port Bandwidth | Port Partitions/Channels |
|---|---|---|
| 5720 (all models) QSFP28 (U1 and U2 ports) | 100 Gb | One U1 or U2 port with one of the following:
|
| 5720-VIM-6YE SFP28 | 25 Gb | The 5720-VIM-6YE has two speed groups, each with three ports that can be partitioned with the following:
|
| 5720-VIM-2CE QSFP28 | 100 Gb | The 5720-VIM-2CE has two ports, each of which can be partitioned with the following:
