Configuring operating modes on 27x40 GbE line cards
You can configure Performance or Density mode for the port groups on the 27x40 GbE line card
defined in
Table 1 . When configured in Performance mode, the third port in the group is
persistently disabled, allowing the remaining two ports to operate at up to 40 Gbps. When Density
mode (default) is configured, all three ports in the group are enabled, but will operate at below the
40 Gbps maximum rate. For more details on 27x40 GbE line card port groups and operating
modes, refer to
“Brocade VDX 8770-4 line cards” on page 6.
Use the following steps to set Density and Performance modes on port groups on 27x40 GbE line
cards. To identify the port group, use the format rbridge-id/slot-id/port group-id. For example,
1/3/9 denotes RBridge ID 1, slot 3, and port group 9.
1. Log in to the switch using an account that has the admin role.
2. Power off the line card.
switch# power-off linecard 3
3. Issue the configure terminal command to enter global configuration mode.
