Partitions 100G and 40G ports into multiple partition speeds, and partitions 25G ports into a single 10G port for supported Universal platforms.
| port_list | Specifies one or more ports. |
| all | Specifies partitioning all available 100G ports on an entire switch or stack. |
| 1x100G | Specifies partitioning a 100G port into a single 100G port (applies only to switches with 100G port(s)). |
| 1x40G | Specifies partitioning a 40G port into a single 40G port (applies only to switches with 40G port(s)). |
| 2x50G | Specifies partitioning a 100G port into a two 50G port (applies only to switches with 100G port(s)). |
| 3x1G | Specifies partitioning a 5720-VIM-6YE into a three
consecutive 1G ports. Apply 3x1G option on the first VIM port (port 27 or 30 for 24-port models and ports 51 or 55 for 48-port models). All three ports (ports 27-29 or 30-32 for 24-port models and ports 51-53 and 54-56 on 48-port models) on the VIM become 1G ports when applying this option. |
| 3x10G | Specifies partitioning a 5720-VIM-6YE into a three
consecutive 10G ports. Apply 3x10G option on the first VIM port (port 27 or 30 for 24-port models and ports 51 or 55 for 48-port models). All three ports (ports 27-29 or 30-32 for 24-port models and ports 51-53 and 54-56 on 48-port models) on the VIM become 10G ports when applying this option. |
| 3x25G | Specifies partitioning a 5720-VIM-6YE into a three
consecutive 25G ports. Apply 3x25G option on the first VIM port (port 27 or 30 for 24-port models and ports 51 or 55 for 48-port models). All three ports (ports 27-29 or 30-32 for 24-port models and ports 51-53 and 54-56 on 48-port models) on the VIM become 25G ports when applying this option. |
| 4x10G |
Specifies partitioning a 40G port into a four 10G port (applies only to switches with 40G port(s)). Specifies partitioning a 25G port into a single 10G port. Apply 4x10G option on the first 5520 VIM port (port 33 for 24-port models and port 57 for 48-port models). All four ports on the 5520 VIM become 10G ports when applying this option. |
| 4x25G |
Specifies partitioning a 100G port into a four 25G port. Also specifies changing a 25G port that was partitioned to a 10G port to back to 25G. Apply 4x25G option on the first 5520 VIM port (port 33 for 24-port models and port 57 for 48-port models). All four ports on the 5520 VIM become 25G ports when applying this option. |
For 4120, U1 and U2 ports default to 1x100G.
For 5520-VIM-4YE, 25G ports default to 1x25G.
For 5520 QSFP28 ports the default partition is 40G.
For 5720-VIM-2CE ports default to 1x100G.
For 5720-VIM-6YE ports default to 3x25G.
Partion supported QSFP28 ports in Ethernet mode can be configured for 40G (default), 2x50G, 4x25G or 4x10G. These ports are normally configured for stacking.
Note
If stacking-support is enabled, then stacking supported 100G ports will not accept this command. To use the stacking supported 100G ports for Ethernet, stacking-support should be disabledFor the ExtremeSwitching 5520-VIM-4YE module you can switch all four ports on the VIM from 25G to 10G using the 4x25G option.
If there is a port configuration mismatch detected in the LAG, warning messages like the following may display:
WARNING: A LAG member port is now partitioned. It is recommended that master and member ports configuration be consistent to avoid traffic imbalance across LAG members.
The following example partitions port 6:1 into four 10G ports:
# configure ports 6:1 partition 4x10G
This command was available in ExtremeXOS 12.6.
This command was expanded to include partitioning 100G ports in ExtremeXOS 22.2
Dynamic partitioning (no reboot required) was added in ExtremeXOS 30.2.
This command is available on 4120, ExtremeSwitching 5520, 5720, 7520, and 7720 switch models.
