Port profiles overview
The front-panel SFP28 25G ports on F5
r5000/r10000/r12000 Series
systems support port
profile functionality. Port profiles enable you to change which mode, or port
speed, that port uses. SFP28 ports operate at 25G by default, and SFP+ ports
operate at 10G by default. Only these configurations are available:- 2x25G - 4x10G
- Two 25G (SFP28) ports run at 25G speed, and four 10G (SFP+) ports run at 10G.
- 4x25G
- All four 25G (SFP28) ports run at 25G speed.
- 8x10G
- All eight 10G (SFP+) ports run at 10G speed. This is the default configuration.
Changing the mode for a port profile reboots the system, and
then removes stale interfaces and any references to stale interfaces from your
configuration. You must reconfigure any previously-configured protocols
to use your modified port group.
