Explains how to configure Q-in-Q encapsulation mapping for Endpoint Groups and provides configuration procedures using both graphical interface and command-line methods.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Configuration of Breakout Ports
Describes the functionality of breakout cables for splitting high-speed switch ports into multiple independent logical ports. This configuration optimizes connectivity within and across network racks.
Guidelines and Limitations for Dynamic Breakout Ports on Down Links
Describes the supported switches, optics, and configuration requirements for dynamic breakout ports. Provides essential guidelines for managing breakout port connectivity and limitations on specific hardware platforms.
Guidelines and Limitations for Auto Breakout Ports on Fabric Links
Describes the automatic breakout functionality for fabric ports on specific line cards and switches. This information helps users manage transceiver insertion and connectivity requirements for 400G to 100G breakout configurations.
Configuring Breakout Ports With Profiles and Selectors Using the GUI
Configures breakout ports on leaf switches using port profiles and selectors within the GUI. This procedure involves creating interface profiles, associating them with switches, and defining sub-port configurations.
Configuring Breakout Ports With the Interface Configuration Using the GUI
Configures breakout ports on leaf switches using the interface configuration workflow in the GUI. This procedure enables administrators to manage port breakout settings for specific nodes within the fabric.
Configuring Dynamic Breakout Ports Using the NX-OS Style CLI
Configures a breakout port, verifies the configuration, and configures an EPG on a sub port using the NX-OS style CLI.
