SWITCHING COMMANDS
PLATFORM
PORTMODE INTERFACE
platform portmode interface
Overview On 28-port switches, use this command to configure each port on the AT-StackQS
card as either four 10Gbps ports or one 40Gbps port.
Use the no variant of this command to return the specified ports to 40Gbps
operation.
Syntax
platform portmode interface <port-list> {10gx4|40g}
no platform portmode interface <port-list>
Default The ports are configured as stacking ports by default. When converted to network
switch ports, they operate as 40Gbps ports by default.
Mode Global Configuration
Usage To configure the AT-StackQS ports as 10Gbps or 40Gbps network switch ports, you
need to disable VCStack on the ports. There are two options for doing this:
• make the switch into a standalone switch, by running the command no
stack <stack-id> enable, or
• use the 10Gbps front-panel SFP+ ports for stacking, by running the
command stack enable builtin-ports
To use an AT-StackQS port as four 10Gbps ports, you need a
AT-QSFP-4SFP10G-3CU or AT-QSFP-4SFP10G-5CU breakout cable.
In 10Gbps mode, the ports are numbered as follows:
When changing the portmode setting, you must also remove any interface and
channel-group configuration from the specified ports, and then reboot the switch.
Note that the AT-StackQS ports can only operate as four 10Gbps network switch
ports on 28-port switch models, not on 52-port switch models.
Parameter Description
<port-list> The port or ports to configure. You can specify a single port (e.g.
port1.1.1) or a comma-separated list of ports (e.g. port1.1.1,
port1.1.5)
10gx4 Operate each specified port as four 10Gbps ports
40g Operate each specified port as one 40Gbps port
Slot number Port number becomes
1 1.1.1 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4
2 1.1.5 1.1.5, 1.1.6, 1.1.7, 1.1.8
