Description

Partitions 100G and 40G ports into multiple partition speeds.

Syntax Description

port_list

Specifies one or more ports.

all

Specifies all ports.

1x100G

Specifies partitioning a 100G port into a single 100G port (applies only to switches with 100G port(s)).

1x40G

Specifies partitioning a 40G port into a single 40G port (applies only to switches with 40G port(s)).

2x50G

Specifies partitioning a 100G port into a two 50G port (applies only to switches with 100G port(s)).

4x10G

Specifies partitioning a 40G port into a four 10G port (applies only to switches with 40G port(s)).

4x25G

Specifies partitioning a 100G port into a four 25G port (applies only to switches with 100G port(s)).

Default

For 40G ports the default partition is 1x40G.

For 100G ports the default partition is 1x100G.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to partition 100G and 40G ports into multiple partition speeds.

Example

The following example partitions port 6:1 into 4 10G ports:

configure ports 6:1 partition 4x10G
Warning: Configuration will be lost on ports 6:1
No configuration changes should be made on these ports until after
the next reboot.
This command will only take effect after save configuration and either reboot switch or disable and enable slots 6.
