The port breakout system AS5916-54XKS device offers support for 48 ports (1-48) with 10GbE SFP+ interfaces, and 6 ports (0-5) with 100GbEQSFP28 interfaces. Port breakout allows the flexibility to divide each 100G QSFP28 port (ce0, ce1, ce2, ce3, ce4, ce5) into (4X25G) configurations.

Breakout configurations facilitate the connection between network devices with varying port speeds, allowing for the optimal utilization of port bandwidth.

The breakout mode on network equipment, such as switches, routers, and servers, opens up new possibilities for network operators to keep up with the pace of bandwidth demand. By adding high-speed ports that support breakout mode, network operators can increase the front port density and incrementally enable an upgrade to higher data rates.

The advantages of utilizing a 100G port breakout:

By default, mode 1 designates the board with 100G ports. If you switch it to mode 2, all 100G ports will be divided into 4x25G ports. To split a 100G port into 4x25G ports, use the following command, save the configuration, and then reload the device.

The platform supports splitting a single 100G QSFP28 port into the following 4x25G ports.

The following table outlines the configuration steps for dividing a single port into multiple ports through channelization.

Use this command to validate the port breakout configuration.

After reloading the interfaces ce0, ce1, ce2, ce3, ce4, and ce5, the 100G ports are subdivided into four 25G ports, as indicated below.

The following table outlines the unconfiguration steps for port breakout.

Use this command to validate the port breakout unconfiguration.

 

After reloading the interfaces ce0, ce1, ce2, ce3, ce4, and ce5, all the 4x25G sub-ports will be deleted, and the 100G ports ce0, ce1, ce2, ce3, ce4, and ce5 will be added.

The AS7315-27X device accommodates a combination of port breakout options with hybrid port speeds. On this device, configure 4 ports (port 1-4) with 25G Ethernet SFP28 interfaces, 20 ports (port 5-24) with 10GbE SFP+ interfaces, and 3 ports (port 25-27) with 100G Ethernet QSFP28 interfaces. Using port breakout, divide the 100G QSFP28 ports (ce0, ce1, and ce2) into 4X25G configurations if desired.

Breakout configurations facilitate the connection between network devices with varying port speeds, allowing for the optimal utilization of port bandwidth.

Enabling breakout mode on network equipment such as switches, routers, and servers introduces innovative approaches for network operators to meet the ever-growing need for higher bandwidth. By incorporating high-speed ports that support breakout functionality, operators can enhance faceplate port density and enable a gradual transition to higher data rates, effectively adapting to evolving bandwidth requirements.

The advantages of utilizing a 100G port breakout:

• Boosts port density and saves on rack space

• Reduces power consumption

• Facilitates future upgrades.
