Update Link Speed

You can change the link speed on one node at a time from the Topology view or on multiple nodes at a time from the Links view.

In Apstra version 4.2.0, to change link speeds between a spine device and leaf devices you must change the rack. In Apstra version 4.2.1, you can update directly from the Topology view or from the Links view in the blueprint.

To change link speeds between spine devices and superspine devices, see Update Link Speed per Superspine (5-Stage).

Update Link Speed (Topology View)

From the Topology view, you can update one link speed at a time. (You can update more than one link speed at a time from the Links view; see the next section.)

  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Topology and select the node where you want to change link speed. (The screenshot below is for Apstra version 4.2.1 and spine1 is used as an example.)
  2. Select the interface check box to see the operations available for that interface (and that you have permissions for).
  3. Click Update link speed and select the new link speed from the drop-down list. Only speeds that are available for that link/interface are listed (as of Apstra version 4.2.0).
  4. Click Update to stage your changes and return to the Topology view.

When you're ready to activate your changes, commit them from the Uncommitted tab.

Update Link Speed (Links View)

From the Links view you can update one or more link speeds at the same time.
  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Links and click the Change link speeds button.
  2. Select new link speeds for one or more links from the Speed drop-down lists. Only speeds that are available for that link/interface are listed. As of Apstra version 4.2.1, you can change link speeds between multiple leaf devices and spine devices from this dialog. All leaf devices linked to a particular spine device must use the same link speed, so if you change a spine-to-leaf speed, be sure to change all leafs linked to that spine accordingly. This also applies to leafs in logical leaf devices (ESI pairs). They are considered as one leaf, so each leaf must use the same link speed.
  3. Click Update to stage the changes and return to the Links view.

When you're ready to activate your changes, commit them from the Uncommitted tab.
