3. Configure bundling for a specific interface, where
<interface_key>
is 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4.
modify interface <interface_key> bundle [enabled | disabled]
Note: When a 2.x port is bundled, the LEDs for the 10GbE ports remain off. When a 2.x port is unbundled,
the 40GbE LEDs remain off.
Configuring bundling for 40GbE interfaces using the Configuration utility
You can use the Configuration utility to configure bundling for the 40GbE interfaces on the platform. When
you disable bundling, you can use the 40GbE ports as individual 10GbE ports using a QSFP+ breakout
cable.
1. On the Main tab, click Network > Interfaces .
This displays the list of available interfaces.
2. Click an interface name.
The properties screen for that interface opens.
3. From the Bundled list, select whether to enable or disable bundling.

About 100GbE interfaces
On platforms that include 100GbE interface ports, you can use only F5-branded 100GbE QSFP28 transceiver
modules in those ports.
When a 100GbE interface operates at either 40GbE and 100GbE speeds, it is considered to be bundled .
VIPRION B4400 Series blades
On VIPRION B4400 Series blades, the 100GbE ports (1.0 and 2.0) default to 100GbE. The cable that you
use when operating at 100GbE with 100GBASE-SR4 transceiver modules is an industry-standard OM4
qualified multi-mode fiber optic cable with female MPO/MTP connectors at both ends. The cable that you
use with 100GBASE-LR4 transceiver modules is an industry-standard SMF fiber optic cable with LC duplex
connectors and a reach of up to 10km. You must provide your own cable and F5-branded QSFP28 transceiver
modules for 100GbE operation.
Configuring bundling for 100GbE interfaces using tmsh
You can use
tmsh
to configure bundling for the 100GbE QSFP28 interfaces on the platform at either 100GbE
or 40GbE speeds.
1. Open the Traffic Management Shell (tmsh).
