Chapter 4 Fabric Extender Commands
pinning max-links
pinning max-links
To specify the number of statically pinned uplinks, use the pinning max-links command. To reset to the
default, use the no form of this command.
pinning max-links uplinks
no pinning max-links
Syntax Description
Command Default The maximum uplinks is 1.
Command Modes Fabric Extender configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines Use the pinning max-links command when you create a number of pinned fabric interface connections
to enable the parent switch to determine a distribution of host interfaces. The host interfaces are divided
by the number of uplinks and distributed accordingly.
Caution Changing the value of uplinks is disruptive; all the host interfaces on the Fabric Extender are brought
down and back up as the parent switch reassigns its static pinning.
Examples This example shows how to specify the number of statically pinned uplinks for a Fabric Extender:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# fex 101
switch(config-fex)# pinning max-links 4
This example shows how to revert to the uplink count to the default for a Fabric Extender:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# fex 101
switch(config-fex)# no pinning max-links
uplinks Number of uplinks. The range is 1 to 4. The default is 1.
This command is applicable only if the Fabric Extender is connected to its
parent switch using one or more statically pinned fabric interfaces.
