Port Modes for SMT-HC3-C05
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 100Gb ports (1/1/c1 to 1/1/c5) on the SMT-HC3-C05 module can operate at
40Gb with QSFP+ SR transceivers. A 40Gb port can be broken out into 4x10Gb 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/c2 is configured to
4x10G mode,
the subports will be: 1/1/c2x1, 1/1/c2x2, 1/1/c2x3, and 1/1/c2x4.
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 SMT-HC3-C05 module is 20 (5 ports per
module x 4 subports per port). If four SMT-HC3-C05 modules are inserted in
GigaVUE-HC3, the maximum number of 10Gb ports is 80 (20 x 4).
The 100Gb ports with QSFP28 transceivers (1/1/c1 to 1/1/c5) on the SMT-HC3-C05
module can be broken out into four 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/c2 on the SMT-HC3-C05 module
Inline Ports
The ports on the SMT-HC3-C05 module can be configured as inline network or inline tool
ports, supporting logical bypass on 100Gb, 40Gb ports and 4x10Gb ports.
For details about the supported inline ports, refer to “GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and
Interoperability Matrix” .
Ports c1..c5
or
c1x1..c1x4 to
c5x1..c5x4
The SMT-HC3-C05 module includes five 100Gb ports (c1..c5). These ports also support
40Gb speeds.
Any of the 100Gb ports on the SMT-HC3-C05 module can be broken out into 4 times 25Gb
ports, called subports. The subports will all have the same speed (25Gb). Subports will have
x1 to x4 appended to their port ID, for example, 1/1/c2x1.
Any of the 100Gb ports on the SMT-HC3-C05 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 SMT-HC3-C05
on page 32 .
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 .
