Interface breakout module

[-Ypsilon-]

Could someone comment on any caveats when adding second breakout cable with the command interface breakout module 1 port X map 10g-4x switch on a 9332pq?

I have currently a breakout and a config looking like this: interface breakout module 1 port 18 map 10g-4x

If I want to add a breakout on 17 should I just go with:

interface breakout module 1 port 17 map 10g-4x  (will it merge into 17-18 or delete 18?)

  or   interface breakout module 1 port 17,18 map 10g-4x.

I am trying to avoid a scenario (if any) of accidentally deleting the configs of ports 1/18/x.

Thanks!

Hello -Ypsilon

The  interface breakout module 1 port 17,18 map 10g-4x will create  subinterfaces under parent Ethernet interfaces 17 and 18 and will not delete any  previous configs

when you enter "show interface status you will get something like this:

Eth 1/17/1

Eth 1/17/2

Eth 1/17/3

Eth 1/17/4

Eth 1/18/1

Eth 1/18/2

Eth 1/18/3

Eth 1/18/4

Hope this helps !!!

Thanks for the response!

So

- if I "port 17,18 map" it will break 17 and will keep my running conf on the already broken 18 intact as you say.

- What if I "port 17 map"? Will it just add 17 and keep 18 intact?

Thanks

Yes you can go and configure only the eth port 17 without touching the port 18

Thanks Driss I will try that.
