2.6 Configure login credentials
OS10(config)# username admin password $0$<password>
2.7 Configure QSPF+ and QSFP28 ports to 4 x 10GbE breakout ports
QSFP+ and QSFP28 ports on S4148-ON and S4128-ON switches can be configured as breakouts to be used
with 10GbE iSCSI storage or server network adapters. To configure these ports as 4 x 10GbE ports, use the
following commands.
OS10(config)# interface breakout 1/1/<port-number> map 10g-4x
OS10(config)# exit
OS10#
Use the following command to check the port interface status:
OS10# show interface status
2.8 Enable switch ports
Switch ports are enabled and are configured for switchport mode access by default for S4148-ON and
S4128-ON switches. If choosing to reconfigure the ports, use the following steps.
Option 1: Enable ports individually by entering the port number.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)#interface ethernet 1/1/1
Note: For ports configured as 4 x 10GbE breakout ports, use the following command in which 1/1 represents
the switch number, xx represents port number, and yy represents sub port number:
OS10(conf)#interface ethernet 1/1/xx:yy
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# switchport mode access
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# no shutdown
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# exit
Option 2: Enable multiple ports at once using the range parameter.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# interface range ethernet 1/1/1–1/1/54
Note: For ports configured as 4 x 10GbE breakout ports, use the following command in which 1/1 represents
the switch number, xx represents port number, and yy represents sub port number:
OS10(conf)#interface range ethernet 1/1/xx:yy-1/1/xx:yy
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/54)# switchport mode access
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/54)# no shutdown
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/54)# exit
