PRT-HC3-C16 Module
The PRT-HC3-C16 module provides sixteen 100Gb QSFP28 ports for a maximum capacity of 1600Gb.
Note: The PRT-HC3-C16 module can only function on a GigaVUE‑HC3 node equipped with Control Card version 2 (CCv2).
On the PRT-HC3-C16 module:
| QSFP28 transceivers support 100Gb ports. |
| QSFP+ transceivers can be inserted to provide 40Gb ports. |
| A 100Gb port can be broken out into four (4) times 25Gb ports, called 4x25Gb mode. |
| A 40Gb port can be broken out into four (4) times 10Gb ports, called 4x10Gb mode. |
Note: Port breakout is only supported on the upper eight ports. If an upper port is broken out, the lower port is disabled.
For details about the supported transceiver, cable type, fanout, inline ports, and clusters, refer to “GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix”.
Refer to 1 PRT-HC3-C16 Module.

Transceivers |
For details about the supported transceiver, cable type, and connectivity specifications, refer to “GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix”. |
Maximum PRT-HC3-C16 Modules Per Chassis |
The maximum number of PRT-HC3-C16 modules per chassis is four. Each module can support up to sixteen 100Gb ports, for a total of 64. |
Network, Tool, Hybrid, or Stack Ports |
The 100Gb/40Gb ports on the PRT-HC3-C16 module can function as network, tool, hybrid, or stack ports. |
Stack-Links |
For details about the clustering support, refer to “GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix”. |
Inline Ports |
The ports on the PRT-HC3-C16 module can be configured as inline network or inline tool ports, supporting logical bypass on 40Gb, 100Gb, 4x10Gb, and 4x25Gb ports. For details about the supported inline ports, refer to “GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix”. |
Ports c1..c16or c1x1..c1x4,c3x1..c3x4,toc15x1..c15x4(odd-numbered ports) |
The PRT-HC3-C16 module includes sixteen 100Gb ports (c1..c16). These ports also support 40Gb speeds. Any 100Gb ports on the PRT-HC3-C16 module can operate at 40Gb with a QSFP+ transceiver. A 40Gb port can be broken out into 4 times 10Gb ports, called subports. The subports will all have the same speed (10Gb). Subports will have x1 to x4 appended to their port ID. For example, 1/1/c2x1. The upper, odd-numbered eight 100Gb ports on the PRT-HC3-C16 module can be broken out into four times 25Gb ports, called subports. The parent port must be configured to have a port breakout mode of 4x25Gb. The subports will all have the same speed (25Gb). Subports will have x1 to x4 appended to their port ID, for example, when port 1/1/c1 on the PRT-HC3-C16 module is configured to 4x25Gb mode, the subports will be: 1/1/c1x1, 1/1/c1x2, 1/1/c1x3, and 1/1/c1x4. In 4x25Gb mode, the subports can function as network, tool, or hybrid ports, as well as GigaStream port members. Once a port has been broken out into subports, cable it to an optical patch panel or breakout panel, such as PNL-M341, which takes input from the SMT-HC3-C05 module and splits it into four independent output ports. Refer to Breakout Panels. |
Port Modes for PRT-HC3-C16
The port breakout modes are as follows:
| 4x10Gb—Specifies the 4x10Gbport breakout mode. This mode provides a 4 x 10Gb breakout option for 40Gb ports. |
| 4x25Gb—Specifies the 4x25Gb port breakout mode. This mode provides a 4 x 25Gb breakout option for 100Gb ports. |
| none—Specifies no port breakout mode. This is the default mode for GigaVUE HC Series nodes. |
The maximum number of 10Gb ports on a PRT-HC3-C16 module is 32 (8 ports per module x 4 subports per port).
The maximum number of 25Gb subports on a PRT-HC3-C16 module is 32 (8 ports per module x 4 subports per port).
Note: Each port can only have one mode.
There are rules for configuring parent ports and subports. For more information, refer to the port command in the reference section of the GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide.
Once the port breakout mode has been configured, refer to Breakout Panels.
