Figure 1. S4148U-ON unified port groups
To enable Ethernet interfaces in a unified port group:
1. Configure a unified port group in CONFIGURATION mode. Enter 1/1 for node/slot. The port-group range depends on the
switch.
port-group node/slot/port-group
2. Activate the unified port group for Ethernet operation in PORT-GROUP mode. To activate a unified port group in Fibre
Channel mode, see Fibre Channel interfaces. The available options depend on the switch.
mode Eth {100g-1x | 50g-2x | 40g-1x | 25g-4x | 10g-4x}
● 100g-1x — Reset a port group to 100GE mode.
● 50g-2x — Split a port group into two 50GE interfaces.
● 40g-1x — Set a port group to 40GE mode for use with a QSFP+ 40GE transceiver.
● 25g-4x — Split a port group into four 25GE interfaces.
● 10g-4x — Split a port group into four 10GE interfaces.
3. Return to CONFIGURATION mode.

4. Enter Ethernet Interface mode to configure other settings. Enter a single interface, a hyphen-separated range, or multiple
interfaces separated by commas.

L2 mode configuration
Each physical Ethernet interface uses a unique MAC address. Port-channels and VLANs use a single MAC address. By default,
all the interfaces operate in L2 mode. From L2 mode, you can configure switching and L2 protocols, such as VLANs and
Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) on an interface.
