[c-nsp] Nexus 93108TC-EX Breakout Support

[Tim Stevenson]

Hi Nick, please see inline below:


At 02:47 PM 1/26/2017  Thursday, Nick Cutting quipped:
>This is the second generation 10 gig copper leaf switch with 100 gig uplinks.
>The first generation did not support 40 gig x 10 SFP+ breakouts on 
>the uplinks.

>I believe this Generation 2 version does - (you can run the 100's at 
>40, and the 40's should support breakouts)
>
>I have looked at the switch documentation - which points to the 9k

You can find that (buried) in the NXOS release notes here:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus9000/sw/7-x/release/notes/70342_nxos_rn.html

Search for "breakout cable".

Hope that helps,
Tim
