QFX interface breakout

To configure a block of 40-Gigabit Ethernet (et) ports on QFX3500, QFX3600, QFX5100, EX4600 switches to operate as 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, specify a port range and channel speed:

[edit chassis fpc fpc-slot pic pic-slot]
user@switch# set port-range port–range-low port-range-high channel-speed speed

For example, to configure ports 0 through 3 on PIC 1 to operate as 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports:

[edit chassis fpc 0 pic 1]
user@switch# set port-range 0 3 channel-speed 10g

To configure just one single port to operate as 10-Gigabit Ethernet port:

user@switch# set chassis fpc 0 pic 0 port 50 channel-speed 10g

After commiting this config, 40G port et-0/0/50 will be converted to four 10G ports with names xe-0/0/50:0 — xe-0/0/50:3

To return a range of ports on QFX3500, QFX3600, QFX5100, and EX4600 switches to the default 40-Gigabit Ethernet configuration, delete the 10g statement:

[edit chassis fpc fpc-slot pic pic-slot]
user@switch# delete port-range port-range-low port-range-high channel-speed speed

For example, to return ports 0 through 3 to the default 40-Gigabit Ethernet configuration:

[edit chassis fpc 0 pic 1]
user@switch# delete port-range 0 3 channel-speed 10g

To disable auto-channelization at the port level, include the disable statement:

user@switch# set chassis fpc 0 pic 0 port 2 channel-speed disable-auto-speed-detection
