Bay Configuration C8500-12X4QC
On C8500-12X4QC there are three built-in EPAs that are configurable.
The following table describes the port details:
Bay Number |
EPA |
Port Configuration |
Interface numbers |
---|---|---|---|
Bay 0 8xSFP+ |
1/10G EPA |
Eight 1/10G interfaces - TE0 - TE7 Disabled when 100G port in used in Bay 1 |
0/0/0 0/0/1 0/0/2 0/0/3 0/0/4 0/0/5 0/0/6 0/0/7 0/0/8 |
Bay 1 4xSFP+/1xQSFP |
1/10/40/100G EPA |
Four 1/10G interfaces active - TE0 - TE3 (interfaces 0/1/0 … 0/1/3) The bay can be used in the following modes:
|
0/1/0 0/1/1 0/1/2 0/1/3 |
Bay 2 3xQSFP |
40/100G EPA |
Three 40G interfaces (0/1/0 to 0/1/2) One 100G interface (0/0/0) (0/0/0) |
0/0/0 0/1/0 0/1/1 0/1/2 |
Note |
The speed of a 10G interface can be 1G or 10G based on the SFP transceiver plugged into to the port. Even when the speed changes the interface name is still indicated as TenGigabitEthernet. |
By default , C8500-12X4QC operates Bay 1 in 10G mode and Bay 2 in 40G mode. The Bay 1 mode can be changed from 10G to 40G to 100G and vice versa. But if Bay 1 is set to 100G, all ports of Bay 0 move to admin down state and the ports are no longer functional.
The Bay 2 mode can be changed from 40G to 100G and vice versa. The mode change on Bay 2 does not impact traffic on Bay 1.

Bay Configuration Examples
The following examples show how mode can be changed on C8500-12X4QC to achieve different traffic speeds:
Examples
The following example shows how to change to 40G mode on Bay 1 of C8500-12X4QC:
Router(config)# hw-module subslot 0/1 mode 40G
Present configuration of this subslot will be erased and will not be restored.
CLI will not be available until mode change is complete and EPA returns to OK state.
