Single port 400G OSFP ConnectX-7 card. Can the card connect to 2 x 200G transceivers (or use a breakout DAC) in a MQM8700? Are breakout configurations supported in the NIC, or can only the switches be configured to break out?

Hi,

Yes, a single port 400G OSFP ConnectX-7 card can connect to 2 x 200G transceivers or use a breakout DAC to connect to a MQM8700 switch. However, the breakout functionality is supported on the switch side, not on the NIC itself.

If there are any additional questions or issues, please open a case with enterprisesupport@nvidia.com, and it will be handled based on entitlement.

Thanks,
Jonathan.
