Switch-port profiles
A port profile determines the enabled front-panel ports and supported breakout modes on Ethernet and unified ports. Change
the port profile on a switch to customize uplink and unified port operation, and the availability of front-panel data ports.
To change the port profile at the next reboot, enter the switch-port-profile command with the desired profile, save it to
the startup configuration, and reload the switch.
1. Configure a platform-specific port profile in CONFIGURATION mode. For a standalone switch, enter 1/1 for node/unit.
switch-port-profile node/unit profile
2. Save the port profile change to the startup configuration in EXEC mode.
write memory
3. Reload the switch in EXEC mode.
reload
The switch reboots with the new port configuration and resets the system defaults, except for the switch-port profile and these
configured settings:
● Management interface 1/1/1 configuration
● Management IPv4/IPv6 static routes
● System hostname
● Unified Forwarding Table (UFT) mode
● ECMP maximum paths
You must manually reconfigure other settings on a switch after you apply a new port profile and reload the switch.
NOTE:
After you change the switch-port profile, do not immediately back up and restore the startup file without entering
write memory and reloading the switch. Otherwise, the new profile does not take effect.
Configure port profile
OS10(config)# switch-port-profile 1/1 profile-6
OS10(config)# exit
OS10# write memory
OS10# reload
Verify port profile
OS10(config)# show switch-port-profile 1/1

S4148-ON series port profiles
On the S4148-ON series, port profiles determine the available front-panel Ethernet ports and supported breakout interfaces
on uplink ports. In the port profile illustration, blue boxes indicate the supported ports and breakout interfaces. Blank spaces
indicate ports and speeds that are not available.
● 10GE mode is an SFP+ 10GE port or a 4x10G breakout of a QSFP+ or QSFP28 port.
● 25GE is a 4x25G breakout of a QSFP28 port.
● 40GE mode is a QSFP+ port or a QSFP28 port that supports QSFP+ 40GE transceivers.
● 50GE is a 2x50G breakout of a QSFP28 port.
