Port Partitioning

On some ExtremeSwitching Universal switch models, you can configure QSFP28 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.

The following partitioning options are available:

Table 1. Port Partitioning

Switch Model	Port Bandwidth	Port Partitions
5520 (all models) QSFP28	100 Gb	One QSFP28 port with one of the following: Two 50 Gb ports One 40 Gb port (default) Four 25 Gb ports Four 10 Gb ports Note: These ports do not support 1x100Gb

For information about configuring partitioned ports, see the Switch Engine Command Reference Guide for your version of the Switch Engine operating system
