First apply "Hardware Default" and then select the required breakout.

NOTE: Breakouts can be configured only for Fabric Mode IOMs.

Configuring admin status

You can switch the admin status for all ports, which is enabled by default. For the MX9116n FSE port groups 1/1/15 and 1/1/16,

when you breakout the fiber channel ports, the admin status is disabled by default. Enable the status if required.

To switch the admin status:

Select the port and click Toggle Admin State.

The Toggle Admin State window is displayed.

Configuring Maximum Transmission Unit

You can configure the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for full-switch and fabric mode IOMs. The MTU can be configured for

the Ethernet ports 1/1/1 to 1/1/16.

To configure MTU:

1. Click Devices > I/O Modules > View Details > Hardware > Port Information.

2. Select the Ethernet port and click MTU.

The Configure MTU window is displayed.

3. Select the MTU Size.

The approximate value for MTU is 1500 bytes. The default value is 1532 bytes, and the maximum is 9000 bytes. If the port

has both FCoE and Ethernet, the value is 2500 bytes.

Configuring auto negotiation

You can switch auto negotiation (AutoNeg). For DAC cabling, the AutoNeg is enabled by default. For AOC (fiber), the AutoNeg

is disabled by default.

To switch the AutoNeg:

Select the port and click Toggle AutoNeg.
