Enter the port number(s) used to specify the active ports on port pipe 
1. Port-number range: 0 - 2.
On port pipe 1, 0 - 2 corresponds to ports 3, 4, and 5 on the line card. If 
you configure linerate mode, enter one port number for port pipe 1.
If you configure oversubscribed mode, enter two port numbers 
(separated by a space).
Defaults When you insert a 4-port 40GE line card in an ExaScale slot, the line card is set to operate in 
oversubscribed mode with active ports 1 and 2 on port pipe 0 (portset0 1 2) and active ports 0 
and 1 on port pipe 1 (portset1 0 1).

Command History
Version 8.5.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series ExaScale E600i and E1200i.
Usage 
Information
Use this command only to configure an empty slot or a slot in which you have hot-swapped a 4-
port 40GE line card. Before you insert a different line-card type into a slot pre-configured for a 
4-port 40GE line card, be sure to enter the no linecard number command.
WARNING: After you enter the linecard command to reconfigure a 4-port 40GE line 
card installed in an ExaScale switch, you are prompted to reboot the line card to activate 
the settings. Traffic on the line card is interrupted when you reset the card.
On a 4-port 40GE line card, there are six ports and two port pipes (0 and 1). Each port pipe 
consists of three ports, one CFP port and two QSFP ports:
• Ports 0, 1, and 2 use pipe 0.
• Ports 3, 4, and 5 use pipe 1.
To configure linerate mode, specify one port on each pipe. To configure oversubscribed mode, 
specify two ports on each pipe.
Example
FTOS(conf)# linecard 5 EX04PJ oversubscribed active-ports port-
set0 1 2
port-set1 0 1
FTOS(conf)# linecard 13 EX04PH linerate active-ports port-set0 
2 port-set1 0
FTOS(conf)# linecard 5 EX04PJ linerate active-ports port-set0 
1 port-set1 1
Updating the linecard mode or active-ports will require a 
linecard reboot.
Proceed with reset of linecard? [confirm yes/no]:
