D Configure breakouts on port groups and interfaces
The configuration of breakouts on port groups on S5248F-ON and interfaces on S5232F-ON allows the
Ethernet ports to be broken into the desired configuration.
D.1 Breakout port-groups for S5248F-ON
The ports on the S5248F-ON are grouped into port groups, where each port group has an associated
breakout mode. For example, port group 1/1/2 has a breakout mode set to four 25GbE ports. Ports 5, 6, 7 and
8 are included in this port group. Enter the following command to see the complete list of port groups, modes
and associated ports:

Use the commands provided to configure a port group to a breakout interface. In the global configuration
mode, enter the port group that the port belongs to, and select the breakout mode. In this example, port group
1/1/2 is broken out to 4x10GbE ports. To verify the mode, use the show port-group command
S5248F-Leaf1A(config)# port-group 1/1/2
S5248F-Leaf1A(conf-pg-1/1/2)# mode Eth 10g-4x
S5248F-Leaf1A(conf-pg-1/1/2)# do show port-group
