Ports x1...x48 |
The GigaVUE‑TA25E provides 48 25Gb/10Gb/1Gb ports ( x1..x48). For details about the supported transceivers and cable type, refer to the “GigaVUE Interoperability Matrix”. The 24-port GigaVUE‑TA25E is called GigaVUE-TA25EA. Refer to the Port Licensing section for license information to expand the 24-port GigaVUE-TA25EA to 48 25Gb/10Gb/1Gb ports and to enable eight 100Gb/40Gb ports. |
|
Ports c1...c8 |
GigaVUE‑TA25E also includes 8 100Gb/40Gb ports (c1..c8). |
|
Ports x49...x50 |
The GigaVUE‑TA25E chassis provides two additional 10Gb ports (x49...x50) on the right side that are not yet supported. |
|

Transceivers |
For details about the supported transceivers and cable type, refer to the GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix |
Quadrant Port Speed Limit
The GigaVUE‑TA25E ports follow a Quadrant port speed limit. The grouping is as shown in below figure:
The quadrant ports can be categorized into speed port groups, such as :
| Speed Group 1- x1,x2,x3,x6 |
| Speed Group 2- x4,x5,x7,x9 |
| Speed Group 3- x8,x10,x11,x12 |
| Speed Group 4- x13,x14,x15,x18 |
| Speed Group 5- x16,x17,x19,x21 |
| Speed Group 6- x20,x22,x23,x24 |
| Speed Group 7- x25,x26,x27,x30 |
| Speed Group 8- x28,x29,x31,x33 |
| Speed Group 9- x32,x34,x35,x36 |
| Speed Group 10- x37,x38,x39,x42 |
| Speed Group 11- x40,x41,x43,x45 |
| Speed Group 12- x44,x46,x47,x48 |
Each port in the quadrant speed group will follow the same speed that is being configured . For example , if the port x1 is configured with 25G speed then the other ports in the quadrant x2,x3,x6 should be configured with the same speed. In one quad group , there cannot be a mix of 10Gb and 25Gb ports.
To view the CLI output utilize the command show gmon speed-port-group
To view the same in GigaVUE-FM, on the left navigation pane, click 
, and then select Physical>Nodes. >System> Chassis. Select Box Level Configuration > Speed Port Group the speed groups would list as shown below.
