Disassociating a Fabric Extender from an Interface
To disassociate the Fabric Extender from an interface, perform this task:
Configuring the Fabric Extender
To configure global features for a Fabric Extender, perform this tasks:
Command Purpose
switch(config-if)# no fex associate
Disassociates the Fabric Extender unit attached to the
interface.
Command Purpose
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# fex chassis
Enters configuration mode for the specified Fabric
Extender chassis ID. The range of the chassis ID is
from 100 to 199.
Step 3
switch(config-fex)# description desc
Specifies the description. The default is the string
FEXxxxx where xxxx is the chassis ID. If the chassis
ID is 123, the description is FEX0123.
switch(config-fex)# no description
Deletes the description.
switch(config-fex)# pinning max-links
uplinks
Defines the number of uplinks. The default is 1. The
range is from 1 to 4.
This command is only applicable if the Fabric
Extender is connected to its parent switch using one
or more statically pinned fabric interfaces. There can
only be one EtherChannel connection.
switch(config-fex)# no pinning max-links
Resets the number of uplinks to the default.
switch(config-fex)# serial serial
Defines a serial number string. If this command is
configured, then a switch will only allow 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 other than that of the
given Fabric Extender will force the Fabric Extender
offline.
switch(config-fex)# no serial
Deletes the serial number string.
switch(config-fex)# beacon
Turns on the beacon LED. This LED allows you to
locate a specific Fabric Extender in a rack.
switch(config-fex)# no beacon
Turns off the beacon LED.
