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 | Ports | Port Partitions/Channels |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7520-48Y-8C and 7520-48YE-8CE QSFP28 | 100 Gb | Switch Engine: 51 and 53 Fabric Engine: 1/51 | One of the following:

| 7520-48XT-6C QSFP28 | 100 Gb | Switch Engine: 51 and 52 Fabric Engine: 1/51 | One of the following:

For information about configuring partitioned ports, see the Switch Engine Command References for your version of the Switch Engine operating system, or the Fabric Engine Command References for your version of the Fabric Engine operating system.
