Configuring ExtremeSwitching X690 Series Switches Uplink Ports

ExtremeSwitching X690 series switches allow 400Gbps of combined I/O bandwidth for the six uplink ports (49, 53, 57, 61, 65, 69). If all of these uplink ports are configured to use their maximum capacity (49, 53 can operate at 40G; and 57, 61, 65, and 69 can operate at 100G), they can exceed the total allowed bandwidth:

Port 49 (40G) + Port 53 (40G) + Port 57 (100G) + Port 61 (100G) + Port 65 (100G) + Port 69 (100G) = 480G > 400G (allowed limit)

You can select one of two configurations:

Two 100G ports, and four 40G ports (default configuration)
Four 100G ports, and two unused ports (appear as "not present" (NP))

To configure the bandwidth of the ExtremeSwitching X690 uplink ports, use the command:

configure ports partition-template [2x100G-and-4x40G | 4x100G] {slot slot}
