Service Manual

Version Description
8.3.7.1 Introduced on the S4810.
Usage Information
The port must be in a default conguration before it can be split. As the 40G port is lost in the conguration when
the port is split, ensure that you remove the port from other L2/L3 feature congurations.
You cannot use this command if you use an LR4 optics.
Example (stack unit
– Warning message
when 13 ports are
congured in any
port range)
Dell(conf)# stack-unit 0 port 48 portmode quad
Maximum number of ports that can be made Quad mode in the range <0-63> is
configured. Ports 52,56,60, will be disabled on reload.
Do you wish to continue? [confirm yes/no]:yes
Please save and reset unit 0 for the changes to take effect.
Dell(conf)#
switchport
Place an interface in Layer 2 mode.
Syntax
switchport [[backup interface {interface | port-channel number}] | mode
private-vlan {host | promisucous | trunk}]
To remove an interface from Layer 2 mode and place it in Layer 3 mode, enter the no switchport command. If
a switchport backup interface is congured, rst remove the backup conguration. To remove a switchport backup
interface, enter the no switchport backup interface command.
Parameters
backup (OPTIONAL) Use this option to congure a redundant Layer 2 link without using Spanning

backup port changes to the up state. If the primary later comes up, it becomes the
backup.
interface interface (OPTIONAL) Enter any of the following keywords and the interface information:
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then
the slot/port[/subport] information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/
port information.
port-channel (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords port-channel if the backup port is a static or
dynamic port channel.
mode (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword mode to set the interface mode.
private-vlan (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords private-vlan to set the interface mode to private
VLAN mode.
host (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword host to set the private VLAN interface to host mode.
promiscuous (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword promiscuous to set the private VLAN interface to
promiscuous mode.
trunk (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword trunk to set the private VLAN interface to trunk mode.
