40G channelization

Channelization allows you to configure each 40Gbps QSFP+ ports to operate as four separate
10Gbps ports. You can use QSFP+ to four SFP+ breakout cables or QSFP+ transceivers with fiber
breakout cables to connect the 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to other servers, storage, and switches. By
default, the ports are not channelized, which means that the 40Gbps QSFP+ ports operate as
40Gbps ports. You can enable or disable channelization on a port.
