Configuring Breakout on High-Bandwidth Interfaces

Cisco NX-OS supports breakout interfaces. The breakout command works at the module level and splits the 40G interface of a module into four 10G interfaces. The module is reloaded and the configuration for the interface is removed when the command is executed. When doing a module/port-level breakout thru REST, upon the completion of the action by the switch, the user should see corresponding l1PhysIf MOs get created with the DN as "sys/intf/phys-[id]" as an example.

This section contains payload examples to demonstrate how to use the NX-API REST API to configure breakout on high-bandwidth interfaces.
