Splitting QSFP Ports to SFP+ Ports

The Z9000 supports splitting a single 40G QSFP port into four 10G SFP+ ports

using one of the supported breakout cables.

You must enter the stack-unit portmode command for the system to recognize

the port type change. For example: stack-unit stack-unit port number

portmode quad

•

stack-unit

: Enter the stack member unit identifier of the stack member to

reset. Range: 0-11

•

number

: Enter the port number of the 40G port to be split. Range: 0-31

Important Points

• Splitting a 40G port into 4x10G port is supported only on a standalone unit.

• Split ports cannot be used as stack-link to stack a Z9000.

• Split ports Z9000 unit cannot be a part of any stacked system.

• The unit number with the split ports must be the default (stack-unit 0). This

can be verified using the

show system brief

command. If the unit ID is

different than 0, then it must be renumbered to 0 before ports are split, by

entering in EXEC mode:

stackunit

renumber

• The quad port must be in a default configuration before it can be split into

4x10G ports. The 40G port is lost in the running-configuration when the port

is split, so be sure the port is also removed from other L2/L3 feature

configurations.

• The system must be reloaded after issuing the CLI for the change to take

effect.

Install the Solid State Drive

The Z9000 includes a Solid State Drive (SSD) that acts as another storage

device. The SSD is shipped installed with the Z9000 system, and is located in a

slot on the lower-right area on the I/O side.

2 Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place.

NOTE: Both rows of QSFP+ ports require that the 40G optics be

inserted with the tabs facing up.
