Ports Available for Breakout

The ports listed in ICX 7850 Ports Available for Breakout and ICX 7550 Ports Available for Breakout (with Recommended Cables and Optics) can serve as breakout ports if stacking is enabled for the ports. Note that the slot 2 uplink-40g/100g configuration is only applicable to specific ICX 7550 SKUs and not required for ICX 7850 models. Stacking ports are displayed in a three-tuple format (x/y/z) even when configured as breakout ports. For example, if port 1/2/1 is a breakout port, it appears in the general configuration or show command output in four-tuple format as 1/2/1:1; however, any output that shows the port as a stack-port configuration displays the port in three-tuple format as 1/2/1.

Ports available for breakout are shown for each supported model in the following tables. Refer to the RUCKUS ICX 7850 Switch Hardware Installation Guide and RUCKUS ICX 7550 Switch Hardware Installation Guide for information on installing breakout cables.

Note: For ICX 7550 devices, breakout is supported only on module-2 ports in uplink mode.
