Alternatively there are breakout panels that can provide the broken-out ports in a compact and easily manageable presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can breakout to Multi-Mode fibre only using the breakout panel, which means any QSFP 40Gbit Optics need to be multi-mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this example port 97 is the number of a 40G port, its 3 sub-ports (10G) are 98,99 and 100. To configure as a 10G partitioned port, the following command is required:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>configure ports 97 partition 4x10G<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll need to reboot the switch for this change to take effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What will now happen is you can use ports 97, 98, 99 and 100 as if they are individual 10Gbit SFP+ ports, yet they just back off into a single QSFP+ port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com\/articles\/Q_A\/Does-a-40G-port-support-4-x-10G-breakout-over-single-mode-fiber\">https:\/\/gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com\/articles\/Q_A\/Does-a-40G-port-support-4-x-10G-breakout-over-single-mode-fiber<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/documentation.extremenetworks.com\/exos_commands\/EXOS_21_1\/EXOS_Commands_All\/r_configure-ports-partition.shtml\">http:\/\/documentation.extremenetworks.com\/exos_commands\/EXOS_21_1\/EXOS_Commands_All\/r_configure-ports-partition.shtml<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geekmungus.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-971\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The QSFP+ or QSFP28 ports of the Extreme Networks switches can be partitioned, what this means is you can make a 40Gbit QSFP+ port appear as 4 x 10Gbit SFP+ ports, however you&#8217;re require a suitable QSFP+ module for example with MTP port and a fan-out cable to split that MTP into 4 x LC &#8230; <a title=\"Extreme Networks Port Partitioning\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/?p=970\" aria-label=\"Read more about Extreme Networks Port Partitioning\">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":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-networking"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/970","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=970"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/970\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1339,"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/970\/revisions\/1339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geekmungus.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
