Hello,
recently i bought the CRS504 switch and also break-out (fan-out) AOC to split 100Gbps port to 4x25Gbps.
Cable i used is from fs.com and when i ordered it, i've requested fs.com to program QSFP28 end to work with CRS504 and 4x25 SFP28 to work with my mellanox connect-x4 cards.
AOC cable arrived and initially there was no link, but i figured out i had to set manually speed to 25G for each of 4 ports. After that connection worked flawlessly.
However, there are some points i would like to discuss.
1) QSFP28 module info is shown only partially

2) when i disable port 1, system automatically disables also port 4 and the opposite - if i disable port 4, port 1 is also disabled, not sure why but that is not supposed to be like that

The information about SFP is not so critical to me, as i use the switch in my home lab, but port issue (1-4) is big concern.
I hope there will be someone who could shed some light why this is happening (perhaps bug in routeros or maybe feature
)
