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	Ports	Port Partitions
7520-48Y-8C and 7520-48YE-8CE QSFP28	100 Gb	Switch Engine: 51 and 53 Fabric Engine: 1/51	One of the following: One 40 Gb port One 100 Gb port (default) Two 50 Gb ports (Switch Engine only) Four 10 Gb ports Four 25 Gb ports
7520-48XT-6C QSFP28	100 Gb	Switch Engine: 51 and 52 Fabric Engine: 1/51	One of the following: One 40 Gb port One 100 Gb port (default) Two 50 Gb ports (Switch Engine only) Four 10 Gb ports Four 25 Gb ports
