Example: Using Network Ports as 40-Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces
All network ports on the PTX1000 can be configured as 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. You must configure
40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in groups of three network ports. When the port speed is configured as
40 Gbps on the first port in a port group, all three ports in the port group operate at 40 Gbps. For example,
if you configure port 0 as a 40-Gigabit Ethernet inteface, ports 1 and 2 are also 40-Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces (see Figure 5 on page 25). Table 6 on page 27 provides the complete list of port groups that
can be configured as 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Figure 5: 40-Gigabit Ethernet Interface Configuration Uses Three Network Ports
2—1— When port 3 is configured to operate at 40 Gbps,
ports 4 and 5 also operate at 40 Gbps (in green).
When port 0 is configured to operate at 40 Gbps,
ports 1 and 2 also operate at 40 Gbps (in blue).
NOTE: 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are configured using the set chassis fpc 0 pic 0 port
port-number speed speed command. For example, to configure the first set of three network
ports as 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, use the set chassis fpc 0 pic 0 port 0 speed 40g command.
After you commit this configuration, each of the three ports (0, 1, and 2) operate at 40 Gbps.
Example: Using Network Ports as 100-Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces
Starting with port 1, every second and sixth port in each group of six network ports can be configured as
100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Figure 6 on page 26 shows the 100-Gigabit Ethernet-capable ports in a
group of six network ports, designated by a fine black line underneath the port.
