Handling Process
As per checking on the device, we notice that port 78 have a mechanism that it will share a bandwidth of 400G with ports 76, 77 and 79.

From the logs, we can see that you have activated port basic 400G for port 78, but due to bandwidth sharing mode of port 78, it will become 100G sharing for four interfaces.

Kindly take note that by performing this command, port 76, 77 and 79 will become 0G.
