● In stacking, configure profile first before provisioning for new units. Otherwise it is mandatory to reload for profile to take
effect.
● If there is a mismatch in fan-out profile between master and the new member in stacking, the master re-configures the
member with its quad-mode profile, quad-mode, and stack-group configuration and then reset the member. To avoid stack
split during profile mismatch, the master does stack group configurations of the new member.
To configure the quad-port-profile, use the following command:
CONFIGURATION mode
stack-unit stack-unit number slot slot-number port port-number portmode quad
The defaults ports are:
2,4,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,26,28,30,32
To display the Fan-out capability profile, use the following show command:
show system stack-unit stack-unit number quad-port-profile

You can only split the 40G ports in the top row (odd numbered ports) on a 16X40G module. If you configure 4X10G on a 40G
interface, the subsequent even numbered interface is removed and unavailable for use.
The following example shows the interface status before splitting a 40G interface:
Dell# show interfaces status
Port Description Status Speed Duplex Vlan
Fo 1/15/1 Down 40000 Mbit Auto --
Fo 1/16/1 Down 40000 Mbit Auto --
The following example shows that when you split an interface on a 16X40G module, the subsequent even numbered interface is
removed from the configuration.
Dell(conf)# stack-unit 1 slot 3 port 15 portmode quad speed 10G
Warning: Enabling Quad mode on stack-unit 1 slot 3 port 15. Please verify whether the
configs related to interface Fo 1/3/15 Fo 1/3/16 are cleaned up before proceeding
further.
[confirm yes/no]:y
Quad mode is enabled on stack-unit 1 slot 3 port 15
