This command configures the bandwidth usage of the six uplink ports (49, 53, 57, 61, 65, 69) of the ExtremeSwitching X690 series switches.
|
The default setting is 2x100G and 4x40G.
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.
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
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 22.3.
