- Why I did it
This new breakout mode is required when a QSFP cable is used on the QSFP-DD supported 4700 port. since QSFP only uses the first 4 lanes, this mode is required to restrict the child ports to only use the first four lanes
- How I did it
Updated the platfrom.json file with the extended data
- How to verify it
Tested on one port:
root@msn-4700:/home/admin# show int status
Interface Lanes Speed MTU FEC Alias Vlan Oper Admin Type Asym PFC
