Enable Channelization

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

Important

Important

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

Procedure

  1. Enter GigabitEthernet Interface Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

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

    Note

    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.

  2. Enable channelization on a port:

    channelize [port {slot/port[-slot/port][,...]}] enable

  3. 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][,...]}]

  4. Optional: To disable channelization on a port, enter:

    no channelize [port {slot/port[/sub-port] [-slot/port[/sub-port]] [,...]}] enable

Example

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 2/2-2/4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2/2          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 2/2/1
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]][,...]}

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), or a series of slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port). If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
