In this example 100Gbit QSFP28 interface which allows 100 or 40Gbit operation and which has inserted a QSFP+ (40Gbit) Skeleton adapter into which an SFP+ 10Gbit transceiver is inserted, is now split\/parition\/channelise into 4 x 10Gbit (SFP+), of which 1 x 10Gbit (SFP+) is available for use; the Skeleton adapter masks the other 3 channels and only allows 1 channel of 10Gbit SFP+ to be available for use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a QSFP28 skeleton adapter it is possible to split\/partition\/channelise into 4 x 25Gbit (SFP28), but this was not tested or verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Physical Connection<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Connect the SFP+ module into the QSFP+ Skeleton adapter, then insert into the Extreme Networks VOSS\/FabricEngine switch port, connect the cable, then insert the Extreme Networks XOS\/SwitchEngine transceiver into that switch port as normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Configure the port for channelisation (partition):<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ll see this message:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ll now notice that on the Extreme Networks VOSS Switch, one flashing light above the port has now changed to 4, representing each channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike\u00a0XOS\u00a0SwitchEngine\u00a0no switch reboot is required…yay! However, you may need to remove and reinsert the skeleton adapter and\u00a0GBIC\u00a0to reset the port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When using a “show interface\u00a0gigabitethernet\u00a0name”, you’ll now see the port channelised\/partitioned into 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any configuration required to the port is now made to the 1\/9\/1 interface, rather than the 1\/9 interface. To\u00a0unconfigure\u00a0a port for channelisation\/partitioning perform the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ll see the following, and the port will be returned to its original\u00a0un-channelised\u00a0state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No additional configuration is required to enable the link and its operation with a channelised\/partitioned port. Port configuration is as normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Extreme Networks VOSS FabricEngine switches allow for the port partitioning (channelising) of a QSFP28 or QSFP+ port the same as is the case on an Extreme Networks XOS (SwitchEngine) switch. The following example details how this can be completed. The following was used to complete the testing and proof of operation: In this example 100Gbit QSFP28 interface which … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-extreme-networks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4049"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4049\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4052,"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4049\/revisions\/4052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-1024x766.png\")
