Conguring 104 10GbE Ports on the S6000 Platform
The capability to congure up to 104 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports is supported on the S6000 platform.
Starting with Dell Networking OS version 9.4(0.0), you can congure a maximum of 104 10G ports on an S6000 switch.
The network processing unit (NPU) in an S6000 Switch contains two port pipes X and Y, with each pipe supporting a maximum of
52 ports. Therefore, S6000 can support a maximum of 104 ports .
X pipe port mapping: from 0 – 60
Y pipe port mapping: from 64 - 124
When you congure twenty–six 40G ports for Fanout mode, a total of 104 10G ports is available. Because this number is the
maximum limit supported on the device, the remaining six 40G ports are disabled.
Conguring Fanout Mode
Keep the following in mind when you specify fanout on S6000 switch ports:
• When you congure the fanout feature, if the maximum limitation of port pipes (52 ports) is reached, the remaining active 40G
ports in the port pipe are disabled. In this case, the CLI displays a warning message before the ports are disabled.
• Disabled ports are not available for conguration, are not displayed in the show command output, and are not available for SNMP
settings. When you reach the maximum limitation of port pipes, a warning message displays.
• The following table describes the fanout feature on ports and the number of available ports per port pipe:
Table 81. Fanout feature on ports
Conguration Available Ports (Per Pipe)
Each port Pipe: Any 12 Ports fanout. 12 ports fanout (4 * 10G) & 4 40G only ports
Each port Pipe: Any 13 Ports fanout. 13 ports fanout (4 * 10G) & 3 ports disabled
• If you congure 12 ports as fanout in each pipe, the system determines the ports that are not dened for fanout and congures
them as 40G ports. Entries in the port table are revised accordingly. If you congure 13 ports as fanout in each pipe, the system
identies the three ports in each pipe that are not congured in Fanout mode and deletes those entries from the port table. This
removal of entries ensures that ports are not created for such pipes.
• Entity MIB that uses static port conguration supports all of the ports, including those ports that are congured for fanout.
• When you congure 26 ports as fanout, six ports are disabled. For disabled ports, interfaces are not created.
• When you insert an optic into one of the disabled ports, a system logging message generates indicating that a 40GE QSFP optic
has been inserted into a disabled port.
• You can congure a disabled port as a fanout port when the maximum limit is not exceeded. This behavior reduces the number
of reloads required to congure a disabled port in Quad mode to Non-quad mode.
• When you congure 13 ports as fanout, a warning message is displayed stating that the maximum number of ports that you can
congure in Quad mode has been reached. The extra ports are disabled the next time you reload the system.
• When you attempt to congure fanout on the ports where fanout feature is not supported, a warning message displays stating
that Quad mode ports limit has been reached and that you cannot congure additional ports.
• For theshow hardware command, the valid range for the port-range parameter is from 0-127.
• Internal ports mapped to global ports may vary depending on the congured attributes. The show hardware command output
using these internal ports is realigned according to the congured settings.
