Breaks a port into multiple interfaces, such as breaking one 40G port into four 10G ports.
In SLX-OS, you can use the show running-config hardware command to see whether breakout mode is configured for a device.
The new breakout interfaces you create are identified by the name of the original interface followed by a suffix.
This example breaks interface 0/52 into four 10g ports.
