To disable the ports, select a port or multiple ports, and click Disable Admin Status.
The system displays the change status and update success message on completion.
Dell Technologies recommends to:
● Enable the port status to operationally up before adding any devices to the port, if the port is disabled using the OMNI UI.
NOTE: Devices that are connected to the disabled port are not discovered.
● Ensure that the ports are UP before adding any switches, when you expand the leaf and spine fabric deployments.
● Ensure that the switch port is in UP, when onboarding a server to a leaf switch.
Configure breakout ports
You can configure breakout ports on an interface of the leaf switch:
NOTE:
By default, the auto breakout feature is enabled in SmartFabric spine switches. OMNI UI does not provide an option
to break out ports in spine switches.
1. Select the SmartFabric instance > Switches.
2. From Leaf Switches, select a leaf switch from the list.
3. From Breakout Port and Jump Port category, select a port that you want to breakout.
4. Click Breakout Port.
NOTE: The existing configuration of the port is reset to default when you configure a breakout port.
