Splitting 40G Ports without Reload
You can split 40G interfaces into 10G ports without reboot. You can also combine the split ports to create a 40G port without
reload.
On a device, fan-out profile constructs automatically with default 24 ports
(2,4,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,27,29,31) . These ports can be changed to 40G to 10G mode or
vice-versa without reload.
When a non-supported profile release is upgraded to a supported profile release, the fan-out configured ports get
automatically included in the profile. In fan-out mode, if a system is upgraded with 25 or 26 ports, only 24 ports get upgraded
to fan-out mode. The rest of the ports are put to default 40G mode.
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:
2,4,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,27,29,31
To display the Fan-out capability profile, use the following show command:
show system stack-unit stack-unit number quad-port-profile
Example of the
show Command
The following example shows the show system stack-unit stack-unit number quad-port-
profile command.
