set interface gigabit-ethernet breakout

The set interface gigabit-ethernet breakout command breaks out the 40G and 100G ports into four interfaces.

NOTE:

This command can be run only in FLEX mode.

Restart PICOS after commit this command to make the setting take effect.

When performing the port breakout operation, 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.

Command Syntax

set interface gigabit-ethernet <port-name> breakout <10g-4x | 25g-4x | donot>

Parameter

Parameter

Description

gigabit-ethernet <port-name>

Specifies the port name of 40G or 100G port.

breakout <10g-4x | 25g-4x | donot>

Specifies the breakout mode. The value could be 10g-4x, 25g-4x or donot.

10g-4x: Enables the breakout of 40GE or 100GE port into 4 x 10GE ports.

25g-4x: Enables the breakout of 100GE port into 4 x 25GE ports.

donot: Disables the breakout of the sub-interfaces, namely to merge the sub-interfaces into one interface. The port-name is the first sub-interface of the breakout interface, for example, xe-1/1/25.1, xe-1/1/26.1. For details about configuring port merge, see Configuring Port Breakout and Merge.

Example

Breakout 40GE port into 4 x 10GE ports.
