  • 1.  QFX5220 -32CD 4x100 DAC Breakout

    Posted 19 days ago

    Trying to break out the QDD-4X100G-2P5M to a Mellanox Q56 100G switch. Config is below (attempting to use port 5, tried 3 prior, and a number of others with no nearby port usage) .  I've tried manually setting FEC types to every variant on both sides(and disabling for testing purposes), and still no luck. The same cable breaks out out from a Cisco to the same Mellanox  Q56 100G with no issue. What am I missing? The OS version supports the breakout config.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Brian,

    According to the Port Checker, the config is invalid:

    Configuration Status:
    Invalid
    Validation Errors:
    • With 8x50GE configured on the port 0, port 1 should be configured as unused.

    Please see: https://apps.juniper.net/port-checker/qfx5220-32cd/

    Best regards,

    Roland.

    Port 1 is already set to unused, and not the topic at hand anyway.

    port 1 {
                    number-of-sub-ports 8;
                    unused;
                    speed 50g;

    A 4x100 config is valid per the port checker, and is configured, yet doesn't work, thus the original question.
