40GBASE-QSFP+ ports
When a port is channelized, only use break out cables (copper or active optical DAC) in it.
Otherwise, the link behavior can be unpredictable because it can result in mismatched link status
between link partners, which can further lead to network issues. Also avoid the use of break out
cables in non-channelized ports because this can result in mismatched link status between link
partners, which can lead to network issues.
