How to configure breakout port 4x100G ?

To configure a port to 4x100G breakout on a supported interface and optics, use the following syntax:

admin@DellSONiC:~$ sonic-cli
DellSONiC# configure terminal
DellSONiC (config)# interface breakout port <port> mode 4x100G
DellSONiC (config)# interface media-fec port <port> mode {ieee | custom}
Note:-
  • Enter ieee to enable the IEEE KP/KP4 RS FEC mode on a supported transceiver (default).
  • Enter custom to enable a proprietary or custom FEC mode on a supported transceiver. For example, the BRCM proprietary KP/KP4 RS FEC mode on the Q56DD-400G-SR4.2 transceiver.
Verification commands:-
To check supported breakout modes -  show interface breakout port <port>
Check current status of breakout on port - show interface breakout modes port <port>
Check current status of interface - show interface Eth <port>
