Gigamon GigaVUE-HC3, Hardware Installation Manual

Page: 27 / 142

Introducing the GigaVUE-HC3 27
In 4x25G mode, the subports can function as network, tool, or hybrid ports, as well as
GigaStream port members.
The maximum number of 25Gb subports on a PRT-HC3-C08Q08 module is 32 (8 ports
per module x 4 subports per port).
N
OTE
:
Each port can only have one mode.
There are rules for configuring parent ports and subports. For more information, refer
to the
port command in the reference section of the GigaVUE-OS CLI User’s Guide .
Once the port breakout mode has been configured, refer to Breakout Panels on
page 44 .
PRT-HC3-C16 Module
The PRT-HC3-C16 module provides sixteen 100Gb QSFP28 ports for a maximum
capacity of 1600Gb.
N
OTE
:
The PRT-HC3-C16 module can only function on a GigaVUE-HC3 node
equipped with Control Card version 2 (CCv2).
On the PRT-HC3-C16 module:
• QSFP28 transceivers support 100Gb ports.
• QSFP+ transceivers can be inserted to provide 40Gb ports.
• A 100Gb port can be broken out into four (4) times 25Gb ports, called 4x25G
mode.
• A 40Gb port can be broken out into four (4) times 10Gb ports, called 4x10G mode.
N
OTE
:
Port breakout is only supported on the upper eight ports. If an upper port is
broken out, the lower port is disabled.
For details about the supported transceiver, cable type, fanout, inline ports, and
clusters, refer to
“GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix” .
Refer to Figure 1-7 on page 28 .
