Create Logical Device - Example

Let's create a logical device with one panel containing one port group with 96 - 10 GbE ports and a second panel containing one port group with 8 - 40 GbE ports.

  1. From the left navigation menu, navigate to Design > Logical Devices and click Create Logical Device.
  2. A descriptive name is helpful when referring to the logical device later. For our example we entered 96x10-8x40-2, which represents the following characteristics:
    • 96x10 - one panel with 96 - 10 GbE ports
    • 8x40 - one panel with 8 - 40 GbE ports
    • 2 - number of panels (rack units)

  3. For the port group in the first panel, drag the bottom-right corner of the port layout to change the default 2x12 configuration to a 3x32 configuration. Leave the number of ports (96) and speed (10 Gbps) as is, and select the Generic port role (Connected to).

  4. Click Create Port Group (bottom-middle), then click Add Panel (bottom-middle).
  5. Drag the bottom-right corner of the port layout to change the configuration to 2x4. Leave the number or ports (8) as is, change the speed to 40 Gbps, and connect them to Superspine, Spine, and Generic.
  6. Click Create Port Group, then click Create (bottom-right). The new logical device appears in the table view. (In the overview above, it's the first one in the table.)
