    Hello,

    Hello Sonbole,

    It seems that this specific model from 8360 line - 48XT4C ( JL706A/ JL707A)does not support split according to the following guide (836048XT4Cmodel QSFP28 ports do not support split-mode (hardware is not capable) p.40):

    Hope this helps!

    There is a QSFP28 to SFP28 adapters, sold by HPE, which works in ports 50 and 51 on the Aruba 8360-48XT4C:

    HPE QSFP28 to SFP28 Adapter. SKU # 845970-B21

    It allows you to use 10G SFP+ or 25G SFP28 transceivers in ports 50 and 51.

    Doesn't work in ports 49 and 52, for some reason.

    No support for DAC cables.
