Hi,
From previous threads (Using a breakout cable with ConnectX-3 MCX354A) , it seems like ConnectX-3 does not support breakout cables, at least in the case where one wants use the breakout cable solely as an QSFP to SFP adapter. What if all SFP ports are connected to the same switch instead?
Specifically, I'm wondering whether a QSFP breakout cable connected from ConnectX-3 (MCX354A-FCBT to be exact) to 4 10GbE SFP ports on a switch (Dell PowerConnect 6224) would work?
What if the 4 SFP ports are configured to use link aggregation in the same group on the switch? Will the NIC just treat as if it's connected to a 40GbE switch?
Thank you,
