Port Extenders (PEs)
The C9010 switch supports the IEEE 802.1BR fabric protocol to expand the port density of the chassis, using
C1048P port extenders. In this deployment, the C9010 operates as a controlling bridge for the C1048P. The
C1048P functions as a remote line card that is physically connected to, and provisioned by, a C9010 over
10GbE links according to the IEEE 802.1BR standard.
