QFX5120 no longer recognizes the QSA adapter upon upgrading to 23.4R2-S4
When QSA adapter of 4x10gb is inserted to the switch port, the chassis will no longer recognize it under show chassis hardware.
In previous version for i.e: 23.4R2-S3 and below, when QSA is inserted + channel-speed configuration , the transceiver is showing as UNKOWN, however the interface works fine and its forwarding traffic.

The issue is related to this chassis configuration:

Workaround: If the switch is using QSA with channel-speed configuration, channel-speed configuration needs to be removed then reboot the chassis , this will ensure the chassis will recognize the transceiver.
Solution: On 23.4R2-S4 recognizes QSA Adapters which is why the channelization config is not required. It is channelized automatically.
As such removing the channelization configuration and rebooting the chassis is recommend ensuring the chassis recognizes the transceiver + QSA adapter.
Note: QFX5120 platform does not support QSA adapters.
