Virtual ports
A virtual port is a logical OS10 port that connects to a downstream server and has no physical hardware location on the switch. Virtual
ports are created when an MX9116n Fabric Switching Engine onboards an MX7116n Fabric Expander Module. The onboarding process
consists of discovery and configuration.
Fabric Expander discovery
A Fabric Expander functions as an unmanaged Ethernet repeater with sixteen 25GE server-facing ports and two QSFP28-DD uplink ports.
An attached Fabric Switching Engine in Full Switch mode automatically discovers the Fabric Expander when these conditions are met:
