Users Guide

The following guidelines apply to the splitting of 40GbE QSFP+ ports into four 10GbE
SFP+ ports by using the stack-unit portmode command on the S6000 or S6000–
ON platform.
• For S6000–ON, the default ports on quad-port-profile 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. For example,
stack-unit 1 quad-port-profile
2,4,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,27,2
9,31.

Dell(conf)# stack-unit 0 port 48 portmode quad

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 configured, first remove the
backup configuration. To remove a switchport backup interface, enter the
no
switchport backup interface command.
Parameters
backup (OPTIONAL) Use this option to configure a redundant Layer 2
link without using Spanning Tree. The keyword backup
configures a backup port so that if the primary port fails, the
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.
