<![CDATA[Is it possible that TNSR with 40G NIC communicates with 4 hosts with 10G NIC using a breakout cable without intermediate switch?]]>Anyone know this?
I means:

TNSR with 40G NIC ==>(40G to 4x10G breakout cable)==> 4 x hosts with 10G NIC

Did you mean NPAR(NIC Partitioning)? Could you indicate the specific name of the feature which enables that one NIC presents to the OS as 4 NICs?

Or could you recommend some NICs from TNSR recommended NICs etc?
