Splitting 40G Ports without Reload
You can split 40G interfaces into 10G ports without reboot. You can also combine the split ports to create a 40G port without reload.
• On a device, fan-out prole constructs automatically with default 24 ports
(2,4,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,27,29,31) . These ports can be changed to 40G to 10G mode or vice-versa without
reload.
• When a non-supported prole release is upgraded to a supported prole release, the fan-out congured ports get automatically
included in the prole. In fan-out mode, if a system is upgraded with 25 or 26 ports, only 24 ports get upgraded to fan-out mode. The
rest of the ports are put to default 40G mode.
• In stacking, congure prole rst before provisioning for new units. Otherwise it is mandatory to reload for prole to take eect.
• If there is a mismatch in fan-out prole between master and the new member in stacking, the master re-congures the member with
its quad-mode prole, quad-mode, and stack-group conguration and then reset the member. To avoid stack split during prole
mismatch, the master does stack group congurations of the new member.
To congure the quad-port-prole, use the following command:
CONFIGURATION mode
stack-unit stack-unit number slot slot-number port port-number portmode quad
The defaults ports are:
2,4,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,27,29,31
To display the Fan-out capability prole, use the following show command:
show system stack-unit stack-unit number quad-port-profile
Example of the
show Command
The following example shows the show system stack-unit stack-unit number quad-port-
profile command.
