Partitioning High Bandwidth Ports

The 40G ports on ExtremeSwitching X465 (with VIM5-2Q), X670-G2, X870, X690, and X590 series switches can be partitioned into 4x10G and 1x40G modes. Also, the 100G ports on the X870, X590, X690, and X695can be partitioned into 1x100G, 2x50G, 4x25G, 4x10G, 1x40G.

Additionally, on ExtremeSwitching X465 (with VIM5-4Y/4YE/2Y) and X695 series switches, the 25G ports can be partitioned into 10G.

Note

This partition allows all ports to be converted either as 10G or as 25G and not both. To partition the 25G ports, apply the 4x10 option in the following command to the first VIM port (port 25 on 24-port X465 models, and port 49 on 48-port models).

To partition the ports, enter the following command:

configure ports [port_list | all] partition [1x100G | 1x40G | 2x50G | 4x10G | 4x25G]
