Enable Channelization

Enable channelization on a port to configure it to operate as four channels, or ports.

Note

The switch automatically channelizes a port if the port operates in Auto-sense mode and you insert a QSFP+ to SFP+ or QSFP28 to SFP28 adapter, or a breakout cable.

About this task

Important

Enabling or disabling channelization resets the port QoS configuration to default values.

Procedure

Enter GigabitEthernet Interface Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal

interface GigabitEthernet {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}

Note

If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
Enable channelization on a port:

channelize [port {slot/port[-slot/port][,...]}] enable
Display the status of the ports:

show interfaces gigabitEthernet channelize [{slot/port[-slot/port][,...]}]

To display the details of the sub-ports, use:

show interfaces gigabitEthernet channelize detail [{slot/port/sub-port[-slot/port/sub-port][,...]}]

Examples

Switch:1> enable
Switch:1# configure terminal
Switch:1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 2/1
Switch:1(config-if)# channelize enable
Enabling channelization on port 2/1. Subport 2/1/1 will inherit port 2/1 configuration. Subports 2,3,4 will use default config. QSFP will be reset as removal and re-insert.
    NOTE: Modify QOS configurations on all subports as required.

Display the port status:

Switch:1(config)# show interfaces gigabitEthernet channelize 2/1-2/2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORT         ADMIN MODE     CHANNEL TYPE    
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2/1          true           40G

The following is an example of how to disable channelization on a port:

Switch:1> enable
Switch:1# configure terminal
Switch:1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 2/1/1
Switch:1(config-if)# no channelize enable

Variable Definitions

The following table defines parameters for the channelization command.


Variable	Value
{slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}	Identifies the slot and port in one of the following formats: a single slot and port (slot/port) a range of slots and ports (slot/port-slot/port) a series of slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port) all ports on the same slot (slot/all) all ports on the switch (all) If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
