The beakout ports are zero-relative, so 2 x 50G would be swp1s0 - swp1s1, and 10G and 25Gx4 would be swp1s0 - swp1s3. Also adding a bit to clarify that it's the QSFP+ form-factor that allows breakouts up to four channels, thus this would apply to any switch using QSFP+ running Cumulus. So both 100G and 40G switches using QSFP+ form factor will allow the 4x10G configuration. The Dell S6000-ON would be one example.

| 100G switches allow you to breakout ports to 4x10G, 4x25G, etc with use of a breakout cable (or use | ||
| a different speed than 100G). For example, this will take `swp1` and make `swp1sN`, where N is 0 to | ||
| 4 or 2, depending on which breakout type configured. | ||
| Switches using QSFP+ form-factor can carry four channels which allow you to breakout ports to 4x10G, 4x25G and, 2x50G, with use of a breakout cable (or use |
