S5200-ON Series breakout types

S5200-ON Series breakout configuration is done using port-groups, unlike physical port configuration on the S4100-ON Series. Use the

show port-group command to view the individual port or switch interfaces of each port-group. This command also displays the

current/default port speed of the port-group. Port breakout supports 50G, 100G, and 2x100G ports depending on the port being used for

breakout.

NOTE:

Only the S5248-ON switch ports have 2x100G ports.

Breakout 100G port

# sfs_enable_vxrail_personality.py -b '4X25GE' -u "1/1/53:1,1/1/54:1"

Breakout 2x100G port

# sfs_enable_vxrail_personality.py -b '8X10GE' -u "1/1/49:1, 1/1/51:1"

Breakout server-facing 100G port

# sfs_enable_vxrail_personality.py -a '4X10GE{port-group1/1/16}'

Breakout server-facing 2x100G port

# sfs_enable_vxrail_personality.py -a '8X25GE{port-group1/1/13}'

Breakout examples

S5200-ON Series — Breakout interfaces eth1/1/1-4 (port-group1) for VxRail 10GE connection

# sfs_enable_vxrail_personality.py -a '4X10GEFixedFormFactor{port-group1/1/1}' -j 1/1/1:1

• Uplink is eth1/1/1-4, breaking out to 10GE

• Jump box is eth1/1/1:1 at 10GE

• Depending on the specific model type of the S5200-ON Series switch, a default uplink interface is selected. In this case, the SF5212F-

ON uses eth1/1/13 as the default uplink.

• Port-channel is static (without the -l option)

S5212F-ON — Breakout interfaces eth1/1/1 (port-group1) and eth1/1/11 (port-group3) for VxRail 10GE connection

# sfs_enable_vxrail_personality.py -a '4X10GEFixedFormatFactor{port-group1/1/1,port-

group1/1/3}' -t -l -j ethernet1/1/1:1

• Uplink is eth1/1/13 (10 GE) >> default

• Jump box is eth1/1/1:1 at 10GE

• Port-channel LACP enable on uplinks using -l

• Tag all VLANs on uplinks using -t

• Management VLAN left on VLAN 1 as default

S5212F-ON — Breakout interfaces eth1/1/1 (port-group1) and eth1/1/11 (port-group3) for VxRail 10GE connection

# sfs_enable_vxrail_personality.py -b '4x10GE' -u 1/1/14:1 -a '4X10GEFixedFormFactor{port-

group1/1/1,port-group1/1/3}'

• Uplink is eth1/1/14, breaking out to 10GE >> default

• Jump box is eth1/1/1 at 10GE
