Partitioning High Bandwidth Ports

The 40G ports on ExtremeSwitching X465 (with VIM5-2Q), X590, and X690 series switches can be partitioned into 4x10G and 1x40G modes. Also, the 100G ports on the X590, X690, and X695 can be partitioned into 1x100G, 2x50G, 4x25G, 4x10G, 1x40G.

Additionally, on ExtremeSwitching X465 (with VIM5-4Y/4YE/2Y) and X695 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:

• X465: first VIM port (port 25 on 24-port models, and port 49 on 48-port models).
• X695: ports: 1–48.

Version 32.5 adds support for ports with different max speed capabilities to be part of the same Link Aggregation Group (LAG). This lets you change the speed and the auto-negotiation configuration of a port that is part of a LAG without unconfiguring and reconfiguring the LAG. This feature also supports dynamic repartitioning of the LAG ports without deleting and then recreating the LAG.

To partition the ports, enter the following command:

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