Every second and sixth port in a 6XQSFP cage on a QFX10000-36Qsupports 100-Gigabit Ethernet using QSFP28 transceivers. These 100-GigabitEthernet ports work either as 100-Gigabit Ethernet or as 40-GigabitEthernet, but are recognized as 40-Gigabit Ethernet by default. Whena 40-Gigabit Ethernet transceiver is inserted into a 100-Gigabit Ethernetport, the port recognizes the 40-Gigabit Ethernet port speed. Whena 100-Gigabit Ethernet transceiver is inserted into the port and enabledin the CLI, the port recognizes the 100-Gigabit Ethernet speed anddisables two adjacent 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports. You can also usean 100-Gigabit Ethernet transceiver and run it at 40-Gigabit Ethernetby using the CLI to set the port speed to 40-Gigabit Ethernet.
The 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports can operate independently, bechannelized into four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, or bundled with thenext two consecutive ports and channelized into twelve 10-GigabitEthernet ports as a port range. Only the first and fourth port ineach 6XQSFP cage are available to channelize a port range. The portrange must be configured using the set chassis fpc pic port channel-speedcommand.
