Configuring 104 10GbE Ports on the S6000 Platform
The capability to configure up to 104 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports is supported on the S6000 platform.
Starting with Dell Networking OS version 9.4(0.0), you can configure a maximum of 104 10G ports on an
S6000 switch.
The network processing unit (NPU) in an S6000 Switch contains two port pipes X and Y, with each pipe
supporting a maximum of 52 ports. Therefore, S6000 can support a maximum of 104 ports .
X pipe port mapping: from 0 – 60
Y pipe port mapping: from 64 - 124
When you configure twenty–six 40G ports for Fanout mode, a total of 104 10G ports is available. Because
this number is the maximum limit supported on the device, the remaining six 40G ports are disabled.
Configuring Fanout Mode
Keep the following in mind when you specify fanout on S6000 switch ports:
• When you configure the fanout feature, if the maximum limitation of port pipes (52 ports) is reached,
the remaining active 40G ports in the port pipe are disabled. In this case, the CLI displays a warning
message before the ports are disabled.
• Disabled ports are not available for configuration, are not displayed in the show command output, and
are not available for SNMP settings. When you reach the maximum limitation of port pipes, a warning
message displays.
• The following table describes the fanout feature on ports and the number of available ports per port
pipe:
Table 75. Fanout feature on ports
Configuration Available Ports (Per Pipe)
Each port Pipe: Any 12 Ports fanout. 12 ports fanout (4 * 10G) & 4 40G only ports
Each port Pipe: Any 13 Ports fanout. 13 ports fanout (4 * 10G) & 3 ports disabled
• If you configure 12 ports as fanout in each pipe, the system determines the ports that are not defined
for fanout and configures them as 40G ports. Entries in the port table are revised accordingly. If you
configure 13 ports as fanout in each pipe, the system identifies the three ports in each pipe that are
not configured in Fanout mode and deletes those entries from the port table. This removal of entries
ensures that ports are not created for such pipes.
• Entity MIB that uses static port configuration supports all of the ports, including those ports that are
configured for fanout.
• When you configure 26 ports as fanout, six ports are disabled. For disabled ports, interfaces are not
created.
• When you insert an optic into one of the disabled ports, a system logging message generates
indicating that a 40GE QSFP optic has been inserted into a disabled port.
