Breakout Ports 4x10GE Connectivity
Breakout ports are used to connect 40GE interfaces to 10GE capable equipment.
Ethernet 1/17-1/34 are capable of breakout configuration
●
Ethernet 1/35-1/40 are fixed at 40GE
●
A individual 1x10GE interface in a breakout port is capable of FCoE
●
Note: If jumbo QoS is configured globally then only 4 physical ports can be configured for
breakout.

Save the Configuration
Once the changes are committed reboot Fabric Interconnect A.
UCS-6332-A* # commit-buffer
*The switch will now reboot.
Repeat the changes on Fabric Interconnect B.
Verify
Confirm ports FC 1/1-6 are configured for Fibre Channel and ports Ethernet 1/31-34 are in
Breakout mode. Notice the breakout ports now have 4 subinterfaces. In this example, ports 1/33/1
and 1/33/2 are configured for FCoE and 1/33/3-4 as Uplink interfaces.
