Parameter	Description

QSFP -- QSFP mode. The default is this mode.
SFP -- 10G*4/25G*4 breakout mode. All 40G/100G are broken to 10G*4/25G*4 ports.
FLEX -- Enable flexible mode. In this mode, to break some 40G/100G ports as required, but not all 40G/100G ports.
At the same time, all interface names will change to xe-1/1/? or xe-1/1/?.1 if changing mode from QSFP to FLEX; all interface names will change to xe-1/1/? or xe-1/1/?.1, xe-1/1/?.2, xe-1/1/?.3, xe-1/1/?.4 if changing mode from SFP to FLEX.
The following table is an example changing from QSFP to FLEX mode and from SFP to FLEX mode:

QSFP	SFP	FLEX From QSFP	FLEX From SFP
te-1/1/1	te-1/1/1	xe-1/1/1	xe-1/1/1
qe-1/1/49	te-1/1/49 te-1/1/50 te-1/1/51 te-1/1/52	xe-1/1/49.1	xe-1/1/49.1 xe-1/1/49.2 xe-1/1/49.3 xe-1/1/49.4
He-1/1/1	te-1/1/1 te-1/1/2 te-1/1/3 te-1/1/4	xe-1/1/1.1	xe-1/1/1.1 xe-1/1/1.2 xe-1/1/1.3 xe-1/1/1.4
ge-1/1/1		xe-1/1/1

Note

MAKE SURE to delete all the configurations associated to the unavailable interfaces, Otherwise loading startup configure will fail and then the system will load the default configuration file.
There isn't command to come back QSPF or SFP mode in FLEX mode. The Only method is to remove /pica/config/pica_startup.boot and /pica/config/pica.conf files and then reboot system. Please Must make your configuration copy before removing /pica/config/pica_startup.boot. The default configuration file will be loaded after pica_startup.boot is removed and restarting system.

Example
This example enables SFP mode in QSFP mode. In the QSPF mode，as below, te-1/1/1 ~ te-1/1/48 are 10G ports. qe-1/1/49 ~ qe-1/1/54 are 40G ports. In the SFP mode, te-1/1/49 ~ te-1/1/52 are 10G *4 ports after 40G qe-1/1/49 breakout.

The third example is how to come back QSPF/SFP mode.

<SFP | QSFP | FLEX>

Specifies the port mode. The value could be SFP, QSFP or FLEX.

QSFP: In this mode, all the ports are not split.

SFP: In this mode, all 40GE and 100GE ports are split. The 40GE interfaces are split into 4 x 10GE sub-interfaces, and the 100GE interfaces are split into 4 x 25GE sub-interfaces.

FLEX: Flexible mode. In this mode, user can split part of the 40GE or 100GE interfaces as required. After switching to this mode, you can use the set interface gigabit-ethernet <port-name> breakout <10g-4x |25g-4x|donot> command to split the 40GE and 100GE ports as required. The 40GE interfaces can be split into 4 x 10GE sub-interfaces, and the 100GE interfaces can be split into 4 x 25GE or 4 x 10GE sub-interfaces.

For details about configuring port breakout, see Configuring Port Breakout and Merge.

By default, the port mode is QSFP.

Usage Guidelines

This command can be used to switch between QSFP and SFP mode, and switch from QSFP (or SFP) mode to FLEX mode. However, it cannot be used to switch from FLEX mode to QSFP (or SFP) mode. If you want to achieve this, you can manually delete the user configuration files /pica/config/pica_startup.boot and /pica/config/pica.conf and restart the system. The system will then boot up in the default QSFP mode. Be cautious that all the user configurations will be lost after these operations. We suggest you backup the configuration file before proceeding with these operations.

NOTE:

After changing the mode, you need to restart or reboot the system to make it take effect.

When switching between SFP and QSFP mode, before restarting the system, you need to manually delete the configurations of the unavailable interfaces in the new mode, to make sure that the configuration file can be loaded normally when the system boots up.

The interface names may be different in different port modes, for example:

Configure the port mode to SFP to breakout all the 40GE and 100GE ports.
