[Edgecore SONiC] Dynamic Port Breakout Follow
Ports can be broken out to different speeds with various lanes. E.g. If we want to change port 0 from 100G to port 0-4 with 4x25G.
How to configure the DPB(Dynamic Port Breakout) on Edgecore SONiC.
Restriction
- Before breakout, please make sure the port restore to default configuration. In 202012 branch, "advertised-speed" command is supported. If you have advertised-speed configuration, please remember to remove the configuration. (Refer to this restored guide for config restore. )
- Admin status of interfaces is down by default after applying Dynamic Port Breakout setting.
- AS5835-54X(T), since hardware limitation, it could only set the port breakout on Ethernet48 and Ethernet60.
- On the version "Edgecore-SONiC_20210209_051110_ec202006_134", AS9716-32D support more breakout mode "2x50G(4), 4x25G[10G](4)".
- AS7816-64X, due to the logical port limitation by ASIC, breakout is realized only in row1 (Ethernet0,8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,72,80,88,96,104,112,120 as the yellow block) in current design.
- For the mode ‘4x25 [10G] (4)’ of AS9716-32D, the default breakout is 4x25G. If you need 4x10G, you need to break out first and then use the dump speed command as following.
admin@sonic:~$ sudo config interface breakout Ethernet24 '4x25G[10G](4)'

Procedure:
Step 1. We should remove the ip interface/ VLAN member and portchannel member on ports which we want to run the DPB.
Assume if we want to run DPB on "Ethernet48", we need to remove the ip interface on the port.
admin@sonic:~$ show ip interfaces Interface IPv4 address/mask Admin/Oper ----------- ------------------- ------------ Ethernet48 192.168.1.1/24 up/up docker0 240.127.1.1/24 up/down eth0 188.188.98.25/16 up/up lo 127.0.0.1/8 up/up 10.1.0.1/32
admin@sonic:~$ sudo config interface ip remove Ethernet48 192.168.1.1/24
Assume if we want to run DPB on "Ethernet52", we should remove it from the VLAN member of VLAN100.
admin@sonic:~$ show vlan brief +-----------+----------------+------------+----------------+-----------------------+ | VLAN ID | IP Address | Ports | Port Tagging | DHCP Helper Address | +===========+================+============+================+=======================+ | 100 | 192.168.2.2/24 | Ethernet48 | untagged | | +-----------+----------------+------------+----------------+-----------------------+
admin@sonic:~$ sudo config vlan member del 100 Ethernet48
Assume if we want to run the DPB on "Ethernet0", we should remove it from portchannel member of PortChannel01.
admin@sonic:~$ show interface portchannel
Flags: A - active, I - inactive, Up - up, Dw - Down, N/A - not available,
S - selected, D - deselected, * - not synced
No. Team Dev Protocol Ports
----- ----------- ----------- ------------
PortChannel01 LACP(A)(Dw) Ethernet48(D)
admin@sonic:~$ sudo config portchannel member del PortChannel01 Ethernet48
Step 2. Check breakout option availability and current breakout mode on Ethernet48.
admin@sonic:~$ show interfaces breakout
{

"Ethernet48": {
"index": "49,49,49,49",
"default_brkout_mode": "1x100G[40G]",
"child ports": "Ethernet48",
"breakout_modes": "1x100G[40G], 2x50G, 4x25G, 4x10G",
"child port speeds": "100G",
"Current Breakout Mode": "1x100G[40G]",
"lanes": "77,78,79,80",
"alias_at_lanes": "Eth49/1(Port49), Eth49/2(Port49), Eth49/3(Port49), Eth49/4(Port49)" },
},

}
admin@sonic:~$ show interfaces breakout current-mode Ethernet48

+-------------+-------------------------+
Step 3. Configure dynamic port breakout
admin@sonic:~$ sudo config interface breakout Ethernet48 '4x25G' -y
Running Breakout Mode : 1x100G[40G]
Target Breakout Mode : 4x25G

Please note loaded setting will be lost after system reboot. To preserve setting, run `config save`.
Caution :Be careful, please use include the mode setting with ' '.
Step 4. Show breakout current mode status and interface status
admin@sonic:~$ show interfaces breakout current-mode Ethernet48

admin@sonic:~$ show interfaces status Ethernet48-51

Hello there this is João from Brasil, is there a way to configure the Edgecore as7316-26xb to do the Dynamic Port Breakout? We really need to use this configuration on our network.
