The following are some considerations when deploying a Z9264 switch.
- Breakout cables are supported on odd numbered ports only. The adjacent (numerically superior) even port is disabled when using a breakout cable.
- If mixing 10/25 GbE and 40/100 GbE nodes, only odd ports can take breakout cables (with even ports disabled). Any odd or even port can be used for 40/100 GbE, if the even port is not disabled because of a breakout on the adjacent odd port.
- The maximum cluster size for 100 GbE nodes using 64 port leaf/spine switch deployments is 252 nodes.
