How to Configure Interface Breakout and Aggregate on the EXTREME X690 Switch

Time: 2025-09-15
        Using the actual test on the EXTREME X690 Switch (Software Version: 22.4.1.4) as an example, this guide demonstrates the configuration methods for breakoutting and aggregatting the QSFP interfaces of EXTREME switches:
        1. In the initial state of the device interface, the QSFP interface is in aggregated mode. When checking the interface, you can see that one physical QSFP interface is divided into four logical interfaces (consistent with the interface labels on the device panel). Only the first interface is in the "Ready" state with a default speed of 100G, while the other three interfaces are in the "Not Present" state with a default speed of 25G.
        2. In global mode, execute the command "configure ports port_number partition split_mode" to split the aggregated QSFP interface. The breakoutting modes include 2×50G, 4×10G, and 4×25G. After executing the command, you need to save the configuration and restart the device for the settings to take effect.
        3. After configuring the interface for breakoutting, checking the interface will show that all four logical interfaces are in the "Ready" state, and the speed of each interface matches the speed corresponding to the selected breakoutting mode (e.g., 10G).
        4. In global mode, execute the same command as in Step 2, but select the partitioning mode as 1×40G or 1×100G. After executing the command, save the configuration and restart the device. At this point, the interface will revert to the initial merged state of the device.
