Users Guide

To configure a C9010 port, specify the interface with the command syntax:
interface {TenGigabitEthernet | fortyGigE} slot/port-number
• The slot is a chassis slot number from 0 to 11.
• port-number is a linecard port number from 0 to 23 or an RPM port number from 0 to 3.
NOTE: For slots 10 and 11, the port number is from 0 to 3 only.
On the C9010, port interface numbers are written above the ports. The following examples show port numbering on C9010
line cards (40GbE QSFP+, 1/10GbE SFP+, and 1/10GbE RJ-45).
Figure 48. 40GbE QSFP+ Port Numbering
On the 6-Port 40GbE QSFP+ line card, ports are numbered from 0 to 5 and operate by default in 40GbE mode. If you use a
breakout cable, each port can operate in 10G mode. 40GbE ports are numbered in multiples of four, starting with zero; for
example, 0, 4, 8, 12, and so on. When you install a breakout cable, the resulting four 10GbE ports are numbered with the
remaining numbers. For example, 40GbE port 0 contains 10GbE ports 0, 1, 2, and 3; 40GbE port 4 contains 10GbE ports 4, 5, 6,
and 7.
NOTE
: To locate a 4x10G port, enter the system location-led interface {fortyGigE | tengigabitethernet}
slot/port on command. The 4x10G port LED turns solid blue.
