C9500-32QC port assignments

[gp1200x]

I am really confused on the C9500-32QC.

Can I covert any pair of 40Gb ports to a single 100Gb or are there restrictions?

Example   ...document  says 32    of 40G ports or    16 or 100Gb ports....

then it also says you can have  24   40Gb ports and    4 100Gb ports.....????

Can I just convert two (any two) 40Gb ports into a 100 Gb port??

Example   ports 5 and 6  -   make a 100Gb port on 5 and 6 is disabled,    ports   13 and 14 - make a 100Gb port on 13 and 14 is disabled.

Why is this so difficult for them to explain in English.

Have look at this document. There is an example:

Hi, Good Day !!

In C9500-32QC; The default status of the 40 GigabitEthernet and 100 GigabitEthernet interfaces is as below:

• Port numbers 1 to 24 are active as 40 GigabitEthernet interfaces, by default. The corresponding 100 GigabitEthernet interfaces for these ports become inactive. To enable the 100 GigabitEthernet interfaces - 33 to 44, use the enable command on the 40 GigabitEthernet interface.

• Port numbers 25 to 32 are active as 100 GigabitEthernet interfaces, by default. The corresponding 40 GigabitEthernet interfaces for these ports become inactive. To enable the 40 GigabitEthernet interfaces on these ports - 25 to 32, use the no enable command on the 100 GigabitEthernet interface.

Thanks...
