configure ports partition-template

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

Description

This command configures the bandwidth usage of the six uplink ports (49, 53, 57, 61, 65, 69) of the ExtremeSwitching X690 series switches.

Syntax Description

partition-template	Specifies configuring bandwidth usage of the ExtremeSwitching X690 series switches' uplink ports.
2x100G-and-4x40G	Selects the following usage: Ports 49–52: 40G Ports 53–56: 40G Ports 57–60: 40G Ports 61–64: 100G Ports 65–68: 40G Ports 69–72: 100G This is the default setting.
4x100G	Selects the following usage: Ports 49–52: Not used Ports 53–56: Not used Ports 57–60: 100G Ports 61–64: 100G Ports 65–68: 100G Ports 69–72: 100G
slot	Specifies a slot number.
`slot`	Designates the slot number.

Default

The default setting is 2x100G and 4x40G.

Usage Guidelines

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)

The default port partition template configures the six ports as two 100G and four 40G ports. This default uses all six ports within the available total I/O bandwidth. You can also create a configuration of four 100G uplink ports. In this configuration, two QSFP ports, 49 and 53, are unused so as not to exceed the total allowed I/O bandwidth. The output of the show ports partition-template {slot [ slot | all ] } command indicates "not present" (NP) state for the unused ports.

Example

The following example changes the configuration of the six uplink ports on an ExtremeSwitching X690 switch from the default configuration of 2x100G and 4x40G to 4x100G:

# configure ports partition-template 4x100G
Warning: Port 49 will be disabled and configuration will be lost.
Warning: Port 53 will be disabled and configuration will be lost.
This command will only take effect after save configuration and reboot.

Are you sure you want to continue? (y/N) Yes
# save configuration
The configuration file primary.cfg already exists.
Do you want to save configuration to primary.cfg and overwrite it? (y/N) Yes
Saving configuration primary.cfg  on master .... done!
Configuration saved to primary.cfg successfully.
# reboot
Are you sure you want to reboot the switch? (y/N) Yes

History

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 22.3.
