set interface gigabit-ethernet breakout

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

Command Syntax

set interface gigabit-ethernet <port-name> breakout <true | false>

Parameter

Usage Guidelines

The 40GE interfaces can be split into 4 x 10GE interfaces, the 100GE interface can be split into 4 x 25G or 4 x 10G Ethernet interfaces. By default, the 100G interface is split into 4 x 25G Ethernet interfaces. If you want to split into 4 x 10G Ethernet interfaces, you need to configure the four interfaces rate to 10G through the command line after port breakout. Note: The rate of the four interfaces is required to be consistent.

After a single interface is split into four interfaces, the 10GE split optical interface or the 25GE split optical interface supports the same configurations and features as other non-breakout optical interface except that the interface is named in a different way. For example, the port name of the 100GE and 40GE optical interfaces is xe-1/1/n before port breakout; however, after port breakout the port names of the four interfaces are xe-1/1/n.1, xe-1/1/n.2, xe-1/1 /n.3 and xe- 1/1/n.4.

Example

•   Split the 40GE port xe-1/1/25 into 4 x 10GE ports.

admin@XorPlus# set interface gigabit-ethernet xe-1/1/25 breakout true
admin@XorPlus# co

Interface breakout setting has been changed, please reboot the system for changes to take effect!
Make sure to delete all the configurations associated with the unavailable interfaces, otherwise loading startup configuration will fail.

•   Do not split the 100G port xe-1/1/53.

admin@XorPlus# set interface gigabit-ethernet xe-1/1/53 breakout false
admin@XorPlus# co
