Usage
Information
Before you provision a port extender, enable the extended bridge feature using the feature extended
—bridge command. The pe provision pe-id command logically pre-provisions or adds a port
extender (PE) even when the PE is not physically connected to the switch. The port extender ID (pe-id)
range is from 0 to 255.
After provisioning a PE using the pe provision pe-id , you can provision a stack unit using the
stack-unit command.
You can also add a PE description and stack-unit description using the description name and the
stack-unit 0 description name commands respectively.
You can provision a port extender connected in a Dual-Homing setup from the Configuration Terminal
Batch mode.
To de-provision a port extender, use the no pe provision pe-id command.
NOTE: You must ensure that the port extender units are offline before you issue the no pe
provision command.
