NOTE:
When a PE is reloaded, the uplink port come up as uplink by default, even though it has been congured as access ports. After
connecting to CB, the system converts the uplink port to access port. Until conversion, some LLDP packets are advertised.
Conguring Uplink Ports as Access Ports
Under the PE provision conguration, you can congure the uplink ports as access port using the following steps:
1 Enter Port-Extender Conguration mode to provision a PE.
CONFIGURATION mode
pe provision pe-id
pe-id is a port-extender ID number from 0 to 255.
2 Congure the uplink ports as access port using the following command.
PORT-EXTENDER CONFIGURATION mode
stack-unit unit-number access-ports port-range
The stack unit-number ranges from 0 to 7.
The port-range is from 1 to 4. You can enter multiple port-range separated by comma.
After executing the above command, following warning message appears:
Warning: Converting an uplink port connected to CB might cause disconnection of PE.
