Bay configuration C8570-G2

On C8570-G2 there are three built-in EPAs that are configurable.

The following table describes the port details:


Bay Number	EPA	Port Configuration	Interface numbers
Bay 0 8xSFP+	1/10G EPA	Eight 1/10G interfaces - TE0 - TE7 Disabled when 100G port in used in Bay 1	0/0/0 0/0/1 0/0/2 0/0/3 0/0/4 0/0/5 0/0/6 0/0/7
Bay 1 4xSFP+/1xQSFP	1/10/40/100G EPA	Four 1/10G interfaces active - TE0 - TE3 (interfaces 0/1/0 … 0/1/3) The bay can be used in the following modes: Four 1/10G interfaces One 40G interface active One 100G interface. This utilizes the eight 1/10G ports of Bay 0	0/1/0 0/1/1 0/1/1 0/1/3
Bay 2 3xQSFP	40/100G EPA	Three 40G interfaces (0/2/0, 0/2/4, 0/2/8) One 100G interface (0/2/0)	0/2/0 0/2/4 0/2/8

Note

The speed of a 10G interface can be 1G or 10G based on the SFP transceiver plugged into to the port. Even when the speed changes the interface name is still indicated as TenGigabitEthernet.

By default , C8570-G2 operates Bay 1 in 10G mode and Bay 2 in 40G mode. The Bay 1 mode can be changed from 10G to 40G to 100G and vice versa. But if Bay 1 is set to 100G, all ports of Bay 0 move to admin down state and the ports are no longer functional.

The Bay 2 mode can be changed from 40G to 100G and vice versa. The mode change on Bay 2 does not impact traffic on Bay 1.

Breakout support

Understand breakout support

Breakout support for a port helps to split a higher density port to multiple independent and logical ports. Breakout support is introduced in Bay 2 of C8570-G2 that supports breakout capable 40G native ports. The breakout support is of 4X10G and uses a 3-tuple approach.

The table below explains the interface names when breakout is configured.

Table 1. Interface Names when Breakout is Configured
Sr. No	Interface names	Description
	Te0/2/0, Te0/2/1, Te0/2/2, Te0/2/3, Te0/2/4, Te0/2/5, Te0/2/6, Te0/2/7, Te0/2/8, Te0/2/9, Te0/2/10, Te0/2/11	All three 40 G native ports working in 10G breakout mode
	Fo0/2/0,Fo0/2/4, Te0/2/8, Te0/2/9, Te0/2/10, Te0/2/11	1st native port in 40G mode 2nd native port in 40G mode 3rd native port in 10G breakout mode
	Fo0/2/0, Te0/2/4, Te0/2/5, Te0/2/6, Te0/2/7 Fo0/2/8	1st native port in 40G mode 2nd native port 10G breakout mode 3rd native port in 40G mode
	Te0/2/0, Te0/2/1, Te0/2/2, Te0/2/3, Fo0/2/4, Fo0/2/8	1st native port in 10G breakout mode 2nd native port in 40G mode 3rd native port in 40G mode
	Fo0/2/0, Te0/2/4, Te0/2/5, Te0/2/6, Te0/2/7, Te0/2/8, Te0/2/9, Te0/2/10, Te0/2/11	1st native port in 40G mode 2nd native port in 10G breakout mode 3rd native port in 10G breakout mode
	Te0/2/0, Te0/2/1, Te0/2/2, Te0/2/3, Te0/2/4, Te0/2/5, Te0/2/6, Te0/2/7, Fo0/2/8	1st native port in 10G breakout mode 2nd native port in 10G breakout mode 3rd native port in 40G mode
	Te0/2/0, Te0/2/1, Te0/2/2, Te0/2/3, Fo0/2/4, Te0/2/8, Te0/2/9, Te0/2/10, Te0/2/11	1st native port in 10G breakout mode 2nd native port in 40G mode 3rd native port in 10G breakout mode

Breakout support

Note

Before using the breakout capability, ensure that Bay 2 is configured in 40G mode

Router(config)#hw-module subslot 0/2 breakout 10G port ?

all                configure all native ports in breakout mode
native_port_0      configure native port 0 in breakout mode
native_port_4      configure native port 4 in breakout mode
native_port_8      configure native port 8 in breakout mode

Sample commands to configure breakout support

When native_port 0 and 8 are in 10G breakout and native_port 4 is running in 40G mode

hw-module subslot 0/2 breakout 10g port native_port_0
hw-module subslot 0/2 breakout 10g port native_port_8

When all three native 40G ports have same breakout config

hw-module subslot 0/2 breakout 10g port all    
hw-module subslot 0/2 breakout none port all

When you want to remove breakout configuration from all ports

hw-module subslot 0/2 breakout none port all

Bay configuration C8550-G2

On C8550-G2 there is one built-in EPA that supports ports TE0 - TE11 for SFP/SFP+ transceivers.
