operate in oversubscribed mode with active ports 1 and 2 on port pipe 0 (portset0 1 2)
and active ports 0 and 1 on port pipe 1 (portset1 0 1).

Information
Use this command only to configure an empty slot or a slot in which you have
hot-swapped a 4-port 40G line card. Before you insert a different line-card type into a
slot pre-configured for a 4-port 40G line card, be sure to enter the
no linecard number
command.
On a 4-port 40G line card, there are six ports and two port pipes: 0 and 1. Each port
pipe consists of three ports, one CFP port and two QSFP ports:
• Ports 0, 1, and 2 use pipe 0.
• Ports 3, 4, and 5 use pipe 1.
To configure linerate mode, you specify one port on each pipe. To configure
oversubscribed mode, you specify two ports on each pipe.
Example
FTOS (conf)# linecard 5 EX04PJ oversubscribed active-ports port-set0 1 2 port-set1 0 1
FTOS (conf)# linecard 13 EX04PH linerate active-ports port-set0 2 port-set1 0
FTOS(conf)# linecard 5 EX04PJ linerate active-ports port-set0 1 port-set1 1
Updating the linecard mode or active-ports will require a linecard reboot.
Proceed with reset of linecard? [confirm yes/no]:
