Hi Salvatore,

Yup, you have a point. I looked further into 40G IP user guide but it didn't mention about separate control over each 10G channel.

I am sorry. Looks like I may had mislead you earlier.

I consulted internally further and the recommended design implementation is to use 4 separate Ethernet 10G IP instead of one single 40G IP.

After that, you can still connect these 4 transceiver channels from the 4 different 10G IP into one QSFP module that further connect with the breakout cable to 4 individual 10G ports.

Thanks.
