Port-groups on S5200F-ON switches

On the S5200F-ON series switches, port-groups determine the available front-panel Ethernet ports and supported breakout interfaces.

When you convert a port to a particular mode, all ports that belong to the port group also operate at the same mode. For example, if you convert the Ethernet 1/1/1 interface to 10g-4x, all other interfaces that belong to port-group 1/1/1 namely, 1/1/2, 1/1/3, and 1/1/4 also operate at 10g-4x mode.

NOTE: The S5232F-ON platform does not use port groups. On this platform, use the interface breakout command instead.

The following shows the supported port groups and breakout modes on the S5212F-ON switch:

To configure breakout modes:

  1. Configure a port group in CONFIGURATION mode. Enter 1/1 for node/slot and the port group number.
    port-group node/slot/port-group
  2. Configure the breakout mode in PORT-GROUP mode.
    mode Eth breakout-mode
    • 100g-2x — Split a port group into two 100GE interface.
    • 100g-1x — Set a port group to 100GE mode.
    • 50g-4x — Split a port group into four 50GE interfaces.
    • 50g-2x — Split a port group into two 50GE interfaces.
    • 40g-2x — Split a port group into two 40GE interfaces for use with a QSFP+ 40GE transceiver.
    • 40g-1x — Set a port group to 40GE mode for use with a QSFP+ 40GE transceiver.
    • 25g-8x — Split a port group into eight 25GE interfaces.
    • 25g-4x — Split a port group into four 25GE interfaces.
    • 10g-8x — Split a port group into eight 10GE interfaces.
    • 10g-4x — Split a port group into four 10GE interfaces.
  3. Return to CONFIGURATION mode.
    exit
  4. Enter Interface breakout mode to configure other settings, such as, speed.
    interface ethernet node/slot/port[:subport]

The following shows converting a port group from 25g-4x mode to 10g-4x mode:

OS10# configure terminal

10000 Set speed to 10000 Mbps
auto Automatic Settings (default)
