This article explains about the NE8000 M4 license issue.
The NetEngine 8000 M4 supports four groups (groups 1, 2, 3, and 4), each Group consists of 1 main port and 4 corresponding sub-ports. Main port 0, the corresponding sub-port is 4.6.8.10; main port 1, the corresponding sub-port is 5.7.9.11; main port 2, the corresponding sub-port is 12.14.16.18; main port 3, the corresponding sub-port is 13.15.17.19
| Group | Main Port | Sub-port |
|---|---|---|
| Group1 | 0 | 4, 6, 8, 10 |
| Group2 | 1 | 5, 7, 9, 11 |
| Group3 | 2 | 12, 14, 16, 18 |
| Group4 | 3 | 13, 15, 17, 19 |
Each group can switch between their six modes independently. In each mode, the capabilities of the four sub-ports vary according to the port capability of the main port, as shown in the following table.
NetEngine 8000 M4‘s interface bandwidth modes:
| Mode | Main Port | Sub-port |
|---|---|---|
| Mode 1 | 100GE (50GE/40GE auto-sensing) | 4 x GE |
| Mode 2 | 4 x 25GE | 4 x GE |
| Mode 3 | 50GE | 4 x 10GE/GE ports. Note that 10GE ports must be switched between the LAN and WAN modes at the same time. |
| Mode 4 | 40GE | 4 x 10GE/GE ports. Note that 10GE ports must be switched between the LAN and WAN modes at the same time. |
| Mode 5 | 4 x 10GE | 4 x 10GE/GE ports. Note that 10GE ports must be switched between the LAN and WAN modes at the same time. |
| Mode 6 | Not used | 4 x 25GE/10GE/GE ports. Note that 10GE ports must be switched between the LAN and WAN modes at the same time. |
Also, 1*100G, requires 2*50G RTU activation.
For example: 2*100GE needs to be equipped with 4*50GE RTU license. You can use mode1 type and the main port 0-1 or 2-3 to run 100G; you can also use mode3 and the four ports 0-3 run 4*50GE respectively.
