CAUTION:

The Packet Forwarding Engine on the QFX3600 Node device is restarted when you commit the port type configuration changes. As a result, you might experience packet loss on the Node device.

Options

Lowest-numbered port in the range of ports. The lowest possible value is 0 if the port type is fte. The lowest possible value is 2 if the port type is xe.

port-range-high

Highest-numbered port in the range of ports. The highest possible value is 7 if the port type is fte. The highest possible value is 15 if the port type is xe.

Note:
  • By default, ports Q0 through Q3 operate as fte type ports, and ports Q4 through Q15 operate as xe type ports.

  • Only ports Q0 through Q7 can be configured as fte type ports.
