You can also use Fabric B to create a second scalable fabric:
Restrictions and guidelines
The following restrictions and guidelines are applicable when building a scalable fabric:
● Mixing switch types in the same fabric is not supported. For example: MX9116n in slot A1 and MX5108n in slot A2
● Mixing switch types across fabrics is supported. For example: MX9116n in slots A1& A2 and MX5108n in slots B1 & B2
● All FSE and FEM IOMs in a scalable fabric must be in the same OME–Modular MCM group. FEMs in a chassis in MCM group
1 cannot be connected to FSEs in a chassis in MCM group 2.
The following restrictions are applicable when implementing a scalable fabric in both fabric slot A and fabric slot B:
