On some ExtremeSwitching switch models, you can configure QSFP28 and QSFP+ ports either as single ports or as multiple, partitioned ports. In a partitioned port, with appropriate cabling, the original physical port can accommodate multiple data lanes at lower bandwidths.
| Switch Model | Port Bandwidth | Each Physical Port Can Operate as.... |
|---|---|---|
| X670-G2-48x-4q QSFP+ |
40 Gb | One 40 Gb port or Four 10 Gb ports |
| X770 (all models) QSFP+ |
40 Gb | One 40 Gb port or Four 10 Gb ports |
| X590 (all models) QSFP28 and QSFP+ |
100 Gb | One 100 Gb port or Two 50 Gb ports or Four 25 Gb ports |
| 40 Gb | One 40 Gb port or Four 10 Gb ports |
|
| X690 (all models) QSFP28 and QSFP+ |
100 Gb | One 100 Gb port or Two 50 Gb ports or Four 25 Gb ports |
| 40 Gb | One 40 Gb port or Four 10 Gb ports |
|
| X870 (all models) QSFP28 and QSFP+ |
100 Gb | One 100 Gb port or Two 50 Gb ports or Four 25 Gb ports Note: On
X870-96x-8c series switches, an optional Switch Port Speed
License is required to increase the data rate to 100 Gb on
physical ports 1 through 24. No license is required for 100 Gb
capability on physical ports 25 through 32.
