Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Enters FEX configuration mode for the specified Fabric Extender. The
range of the FEX-number is from 100 to 199.
(Optional)
Specifies the description. The default is the string FEXxxxx where xxxx is
the FEX number. If the FEX number is 123, the description is FEX0123.
(Optional)
Deletes the description.
(Optional)
Deletes the FEX type. When a Fabric Extender is connected to the fabric
interfaces and does not match the configured type that is saved in the binary
configuration on the parent switch, all configurations for all interfaces on
the Fabric Extender are deleted.
(Optional)
Defines the number of uplinks. The default is 1. The range is from 1 to 4.
This command is only applicable if the Fabric Extender is connected to its
parent switch using one or more statically pinned fabric interfaces. There
can only be one port channel connection.
Caution Changing the number of uplinks with the pinning max-links
command disrupts all the host interface ports of the Fabric
Extender.
(Optional)
Resets the number of uplinks to the default.
Caution Changing the number of uplinks with the no pinning max-links
command disrupts all the host interface ports of the Fabric
Extender.
(Optional)
Defines a serial number string. If this command is configured, a switch
allows the corresponding chassis ID to associate (using the fex associate
command) only if the Fabric Extender reports a matching serial number
string.
