In A9K-4HG-FLEX-SE Simultaneously usable port Combinations

[madura]

Hi,

In A9K-4HG-FLEX-SE , There are 24 number of 10G ports(12 and 12) and 16 number of 10G/25G ports (8 and and 4 number of 100G ports (2 and 2)

What are the port combinations that can be used? For example, if we use 12 x 10G port in one plane, can't we use 10/25G ports at the same plane?

Best Regards,

Madura

Hi, 

Thanks for the explanation.

In that case, we can use 2 x 100G and 20 x 10G combination from one A9K-4HG-FLEX-SE card. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Best Regards,

Madura

Yes you can. just make sure in this combination 100Gs to be used in first 2 groups (Group 0 and Group 1) then Group 2 and Group 3 can be used for 10G ports. you can't use 10G in group 0 and then 100G in group 1 or later.
