Purpose
• N2248T and N2248TP-E—48 100Base-T/1000Base-T Ethernet host
interfaces and 4 10-Gigabit SFP+ Ethernet fabric interfaces module.
The parent Cisco Nexus Series device remembers the type of the Fabric
Extender in its binary configuration. When this feature is configured, the Fabric
Extender is only allowed to come online if its type matches the configured
FEX-type.
(Optional)
Deletes the FEX type. When a Fabric Extender is connected to the fabric
interfaces and does not match the configured type saved in the binary
configuration on the parent switch, all configurations for all interfaces on the
Fabric Extender are deleted.
(Optional)
Defines a serial number string. If this command is configured, a switch only
allows the corresponding chassis ID to associate (using the fex associate
command) if the Fabric Extender reports a matching serial number string.
Configuring a serial number that does not match the specified
Caution
