All line cards are hot-swappable.For an example of port numbering on a 40G QSFP+, 1/10G SFP+, and 1/10G RJ-45 line card, seeChecking LED Status.On the 6-Port 40G QSFP+ line card, ports operate by default in 40GbE mode. If you use a breakoutcable, each port can operate in 4x10GbE mode. 40GbE ports are numbered in multiples of four, startingwith zero; for example, 0, 4, 8, 12, and so on. When a breakout cable is installed, the resulting four 10GbEports are numbered with the remaining numbers. For example, 40GbE port 0 contains 10GbE ports 0, 1,2, and 3; 40GbE port 4 contains 10GbE ports 4, 5, 6, and 7.Configure Layer 2 (Data Link) ModeTo enable Layer 2 data transmissions on a specified interface, use the switchport command inINTERFACE mode.You cannot configure switching or Layer 2 protocols, such as the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), on aninterface unless the interface has been set to Layer 2 mode.1.
