Nexus 9396px switch w/ M12PQ module breakout ports

[satish.txt1]

I have Nexus 9396PX switch with M12PQ (12x40GE) ports and i want to break those ports in 10GE but i didn't see any document where it say Cisco 9396PX support QSFP breakout. 

I have following config on N3K which breaked 40GE QSFP in 4x10GE ports,  Does N9396px support that?

hardware profile portmode 64x10G

Satish,

Unfortunately breakout is not supported on the 9396PX as well as the M12PQ module which is why the CLI isn't available. 

Example on my 9396PX with an M12PQ:

9396-VTEP-A-vPC# show module 
Mod Ports             Module-Type                       Model          Status
--- ----- ------------------------------------- --------------------- ---------
1    48   1/10G SFP+ Ethernet Module            N9K-C9396PX           active *  
2    12   40G Ethernet Expansion Module         N9K-M12PQ             ok        

Mod  Sw                Hw     Slot
---  ----------------  ------ ----
1    7.0(3)I4(7)       1.0    NA  
2    NA                1.1    GEM 

9396-VTEP-A-vPC# show int e1/1 capabilities | i i breakout
  Breakout capable:      no
9396-VTEP-A-vPC# show int e2/1 capabilities | i i breakout
  Breakout capable:      no

This is the case for all interfaces.

Hope that helps!
