configure vpex ports port_list slot slot_num

Description

Allows you to associate a bridge port extender (BPE) to a slot.

Syntax Description

vpex	Specifies Virtual Port Extender (VPEX).
ports	Specifies the switch ports attached to the BPE.
port_list	Specifies the switch ports attached to the BPE. Must be in the format slot:port. Only a single port can be configured at a time. Note: If the switch port is a LAG, the port specified must be the master port.
slot	Specifies VPEX BPE slot assignment.
slot_num	Specifies VPEX BPE slot assignment. Value must be between 100–162.

Default

N/A

Usage Guidelines

You must enable VPEX mode () before using this command.

The behavior of this command is similar to assigning slots within a chassis. After assigning a slot number to the port extender, you can make port-level configuration choices with the familiar slot:port notation in other commands involving the port extender's ports (for example, configure vlan v1 add port 100:1).

This command causes jumbo frames to be enabled on the specified ports.

Example

The following example assigns a BPE attached to switch port 1:23 to slot 100:

configure vpex ports 1:23 slot 100

History

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 22.5.

Platform Availability

This command is available on the Summit X670-G2 and ExtremeSwitching X690, X590 series switches.
