Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.2 for the QFX Series.

Option xle introduced in Junos OS 12.2X50-D20 for the QFX Series.

Description

(QFX3600 Node device only) Configure port types on QFX3600 Node devices.

Caution: The Packet Forwarding Engine on the QFX3600 Node device is restarted when you commit the port type configuration changes. As a result, you might experience packet loss on the Node device.

Options

pic pic-number

—

Number of the physical interface card (PIC) on which you want to configure port types. Specify 0 to configure xe (10-Gigabit Ethernet) type ports. Specify 1 to configure fte (40-gigabit data plane uplink) or xle (40-Gigabit Ethernet) type ports.

fte

—

Configure a specific port or a range of ports to operate as 40-gigabit data plane uplink ports.

—

Configure a specific port or a range of ports to operate as four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.

xle

—

Configure a specific port or a range of ports to operate as 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports.

port-number

—

Port number on which you want to configure the port type. Valid values are 0 through 7 if the port type is fte, and 2 through 15 if the port type is xe or xle.

port-range-low

—

Lowest-numbered port in the range of ports. The lowest possible value is 0 if the port type is fte. The lowest possible value is 2 if the port type is xe or xle.

port-range-high

—

Highest-numbered port in the range of ports. The highest possible value is 7 if the port type is fte. The highest possible value is 15 if the port type is xe or xle.

By default, ports Q0 through Q3 operate as fte type ports, and ports Q4 through Q15 operate as xe type ports.
Only ports Q0 through Q7 can be configured as fte type ports.
Only ports Q2 through Q15 can be configured as xe or xle type ports.

Note: When you delete the port type configuration for an individual port or a block of ports, the ports return to operating in their default port type. For example, if you delete the 40-Gigabit Ethernet (xle) port configuration for port Q4, the port returns to operating as a 10-Gigabit Ethernet (xe) port.
