40GBASE-QSFP+ ports

When a 40 Gigabit port is channelized, only use break out cables (DAC or Fiber) 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 40 Gigabit ports because this can result
in mismatched link status between link partners, which can lead to network issues.
