About this task
Note
When configuring breakout mode - either
breaking into multiple interfaces or consolidating into one interface - it is a best
practice to remove all configuration on the interface, and set the interface to the
disabled state.
Perform the following steps:
Procedure
-
Access global configuration
mode.
device# configure terminal
-
Shut down the port or ports to
be configured.
device (config)# interface ethernet 0/1
shutdown
exit
Or;
device (config)# interface ethernet 0/1:1-4
shutdown
exit
-
Access hardware configuration mode.
-
Access the port to be
configured.
device(config-hardware)# connector 0/1
-
Set the breakout mode.
device(config-connector-0/1)# breakout mode 4x10g
Note
Dynamic breakout is
supported; the user does not need to reboot the switch to execute the
breakout.
-
Exit configuration mode.
device(config-connector-0/1)# exit
device(config-hardware)# exit
device(config)#
-
Verify the configuration.
device(config)# show interface status
