9500-32C Breakout Command

[Ethan_Bray]

I have a QSFP-40G-SR in port 1 that I would like to breakout to 10G. I'm working with a C9500-32C on version 16.9.5 and I am trying to do the command "hw-module breakout". However when I type the command in from the global configuration the only options I get are "hw-module slot" & "hw-module subslot". The switch is not running stackwise-virtual. Is there something else that I am missing?

I found the issue, the breakout command wasn't introduced until version 16.10.1 and later.
