Introducing the GigaVUE-HC3 29
Port Modes for PRT-HC3-C16
The port breakout modes are as follows:
• 4x10G —Specifies the 4x10G port breakout mode. This mode provides a 4 x 10Gb
breakout option for 40Gb ports.
• 4x25G —Specifies the 4x25G port breakout mode. This mode provides a 4 x 25Gb
breakout option for 100Gb ports.
• none —Specifies no port breakout mode. This is the default mode for GigaVUE
nodes.
Any of the upper eight 100Gb ports on the PRT-HC3-C16 module can operate at 40Gb
with QSFP+ SR transceivers. A 40Gb port can be broken out into four times 10Gb
ports, called subports. The parent port must be configured to have a port breakout
mode of
4x10G .
The subports will all have the same speed (10Gb). Subports will have x1 to x4
appended to their port ID, for example, when port 1/1/c1 is configured to
4x10G mode,
the subports will be: 1/1/c1x1, 1/1/c1x2, 1/1/c1x3, and 1/1/c1x4.
In 4x10G mode, the subports can function as network, tool, hybrid, or stack ports, as
well as GigaStream port members.
The maximum number of 10Gb ports on a PRT-HC3-C16 module is 32 (8 ports per
module x 4 subports per port).
The upper, odd-numbered eight 100Gb ports on the PRT-HC3-C16 module can be
broken out into four times 25Gb ports, called subports. The parent port must be
configured to have a port breakout mode of
4x25G .
The subports will all have the same speed (25Gb). Subports will have x1 to x4
appended to their port ID, for example, when port 1/1/c1 on the PRT-HC3-C16 module
is configured to
4x25G mode, the subports will be: 1/1/c1x1, 1/1/c1x2, 1/1/c1x3, and
1/1/c1x4.
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-C16 module is 32 (8 ports per
module x 4 subports per port).

c3x1..c3x4,

c15x1..c15x4
(odd-numbered ports)
The PRT-HC3-C16 module includes sixteen 100Gb ports (c1..c16). These ports also
support 40Gb speeds.
Any of the 100Gb ports on the PRT-HC3-C16 module can operate at 40Gb with a QSFP+
transceiver. A 40Gb port can be broken out into 4 times 10Gb ports, called subports. The
subports will all have the same speed (10Gb). Subports will have x1 to x4 appended to their
port ID, for example, 1/1/c2x1.
For more information, refer to Port Modes for PRT-HC3-C16 on page 29 .
Once a port has been broken out into subports, cable it to an optical patch panel or breakout
panel, such as PNL-M341, which takes input from the SMT-HC3-C05 module and splits it to
four independent output ports. Refer to
Breakout Panels on page 44 .
