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 and 5520 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)). This option is not available on the ExtremeSwitching 5520 series switches.
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 , X695, and 5520). 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.
  • 5520: first VIM port (port 33 for 24-port models and port 57 for 48-port models). All four ports on the VIM become 10G ports when applying this option.

4x25G

Specifies partitioning a 100G port into a four 25G port.

Also specifies changing a 25G port that was partitioned to a 10G port to back to 25G. Applies only to X465 , X695, and 5520). Apply 4x25G option on:
  • X465: first VIM port (port 25 on 24-port models, and port 49 on 48-port models).
  • X695: ports: 1–48.
  • 5520: first VIM port (port 33 for 24-port models and port 57 for 48-port models). All four ports on the VIM become 25G ports when applying this option.

Default

For 40G ports the default partition is 1x40G.

For 100G ports the default partition is 1x100G.

For X465 and 5520-VIM-4YE , 25G ports default to 1x25G.

For 5520 QSFP28 ports the default partition is 40G.

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).

For the ExtremeSwitching 5520 series switches, the QSFP28 ports in Ethernet mode can be configured for 40G (default), 2x50G, 4x25G or 4x10G. These ports are normally configured for stacking. To use these for Ethernet, you must disable stacking support.

For the ExtremeSwitching5520-VIM-4YE module you can switch all four ports on the VIM from 25G to 10G using the 4x25G option.

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.
