Hello. New to the forum. First time posting so bear in mind)
I have Mikrotik CRS317-1G-16S+RM SPF+ switch I plan to put upstairs when the work is done on the house. Currently my only switch is Cisco Catalyst 3750G 24P in the basement, where the server rack is, which I plan to swap for Mikrotik CRS326-24S+2Q+RM. The latter has 2 QSPF ports. Is it possible to bundle four SPF+ ports on CRS317-1G-16S+RM and use a fiber break out cable to uplink to a QSPF port on CRS326-24S+2Q+RM?
P.S. I've found this article which shows that it is possible with some of the switches at least:
40G QSFP+ to 4SFP+ AOCs for Cisco Nexus 9396PX
