stack-unit portmode quad
Configures the list of dynamic fan-out capable ports.
Syntax
stack-unit [stack-unit number] port port-number portmode quad
To remove the quad-port configuration, use the command.
Parameters
stack-unit number Enter the port number. The range is from 1 to 6.
Defaults 2,4,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,27,29,31

Version Description
9.10(0.1) Introduced on the S6010-ON and S4048T-ON.
9.8(0.0P5) Introduced on the S4048-ON.
9.7(0.0) Introduced on the S6000 and S6000–ON.
Usage Information
The default quad port profile configuration includes all ports except the top four left ports and the top four right
ports in the switch. As a result, you cannot fan-out these switch ports using the stack-unit stack-unit-
number portmode command when the ports are in the default quad port profile configuration.
You can change this default quad port profile configuration using the stack-unit stack-unit-number
port port-numbers portmode quad command and include the top four left ports and top four right ports
in your new profile. When you change the default profile, you can dynamically fan-out the ports that are part of
the new profile using the stack-unit stack-unit-number portmode quad command.
However, your new profile must exclude four ports from the first 16 port groups and four ports from the last 16
port groups in the switch. You cannot fan-out these excluded ports as the quad port profile can only have 12 ports
in the first 16 port groups and 12 ports in the last 16 port groups.
For the new quad port profile configuration to take effect, you must first save changes and then reload the
switch.
Example
Dell(conf)#stack-unit 1 port 24 portmode quad
Warning: Enabling quad mode on stack-unit 1 port 24. Please verify whether
the configs related to interface Fo 1/24 are cleaned up before proceeding
further.
