set interface gigabit-ethernet breakout-type

The set interface gigabit-ethernet breakout-type command can specify the breakout type as four 100G, two 200G, four 50G, two 100G or four 25G based on different switch models.

NOTEs:

  • To cancel the split configuration of an interface, use set interface gigabit-ethernet <port-name> breakout false command to restore the split interfaces to one interface.

  • If you enable the breakout function of interface without configuring the breakout-type, the 400GE interface will be split into four 100G Ethernet interfaces and the 200GE interface will be split into four 50G Ethernet interfaces by default.

  • The interface name is modified after port breakout or merge, you need to manually delete the configurations of the unavailable interfaces before restarting system, to make sure that the configuration file can be loaded normally when system boots up.

 

Command Syntax

set interface gigabit-ethernet <port-name> breakout-type {4*100G | 2*200G}

set interface gigabit-ethernet <port-name> breakout-type {4*100G | 2*200G | 4*50G | 2*100G | 4*25G}

 

Parameter

Parameter

Description

gigabit-ethernet <port-name>

Specifies the name of a 400G or 200G interface.

breakout-type {4*100G | 2*200G}

Specifies the breakout type as four 100G or two 200G for switches supporting 400G interfaces.

breakout-type {4*100G | 2*200G | 4*50G | 2*100G | 4*25G}

Specifies the breakout type as four 100G, two 200G, four 50G, two 200G or four 25G for switches (N8550-24CD8D) supporting 400G and 200G interfaces.

  • For 400G interface, when you specify the breakout type as 2*200G or 4*100G:

    • The interface will be split into two 200GE interfaces or four 100GE interfaces with 400G optical module inserted.

    • the interface will be split into two 100GE interfaces or four 50GE interfaces with 200G optical module inserted.

    • The interface will be split into two 50GE interfaces or four 25GE interfaces with 100G optical module inserted.

  • For 200G interfaces:

    • When you specify the breakout type as 2*100G or 4*50G, the interface will be split into two 100GE interfaces or four 50GE interfaces with 200G optical module inserted.

    • When you specify the breakout type as 4*25G, the interface will be split into four 25GE interfaces with 100G optical module inserted.

    • When you specify the breakout type as 2*100G, the interface will be split into two 50GE interfaces with 100G optical module inserted.

 

Example

  • Split the 400GE interface xe-1/1/26 into four 100G Ethernet interfaces.

admin@PICOS# set interface gigabit-ethernet xe-1/1/26 breakout true admin@PICOS# set interface gigabit-ethernet xe-1/1/26 breakout-type 4*100G admin@PICOS# commit Commit OK. Save done. 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. admin@PICOS# exit admin@PICOS> start shell sh admin@PICOS:~$ sudo systemctl restart picos
