configure ports partition

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

Description

Partitions 100G and 40G ports into multiple partition speeds. Also, for ExtremeSwitching X465 series switches, partitions 25G ports into a single 10G port.

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)).

Specifies partitioning a 25G port into a single 10G port (applies only to X465 and X695). Apply 4x10G option on:
  • X465: first VIM port (port 25 on 24-port models, and port 49 on 48-port models).
  • X695: ports: 1–48.

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.

For X465, 25G ports default to 1x25G.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to partition 100G and 40G ports into multiple partition speeds, and for ExtremeSwitching X465 series switches, partitions25G ports into a single 10G port.

For ExtremeSwitching X465 series switches, to partition a 25G port into a single 10G port, . apply the 4x10G option on the first VIM port (port 25 on 24-port models, and port 49 on 48-port models).

Example

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

configure ports 6:1 partition 4x10G

History

This command was available in ExtremeXOS 12.6.

This command was expanded to include partitioning 100G ports in ExtremeXOS 22.2

Dynamic partitioning (no reboot required) was added in ExtremeXOS 30.2.
