Defaults X2 mode.
Command Modes Global configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines When a TwinGig converter is enabled or disabled, the number and type of ports on the line card change
dynamically. The terminology must reflect this behavior. In Cisco IOS, 10-Gigabit ports are named
TenGigabit and 1-Gigabit ports are named Gigabit. Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SG, to
avoid having ports named TenGigabit1/1 and Gigabit1/1, the 10-Gigabit and 1-Gigabit port numbers are
independent. The WS-X4606-10GE-E module with six X2 ports are named
TenGigabit<slot-num>/<1-6>, and the SFP ports are named Gigabit<slot-num>/<7-18>.
In the Supervisor Engine 6-E and Catalyst 4900M chassis, the ports are connected to the switching
engine through a stub ASIC. This stub ASIC imposes some limitations on the ports: Gigabit and
10-Gigabit ports cannot be mixed on a single stub ASIC; they must either be all 10-Gigabit (X2), or all
Gigabit (TwinGig converter and SFP). The faceplates of X2 modules show this stub-port grouping, either
with an actual physical grouping, or a box drawn around a grouping.
Examples This example shows to determine how the X2 holes on a module are grouped on a WS-X4606-10GE-E:
Switch# show hw-module module 1 port-group
Module Port-group Active Inactive
