Redistributing the Links

When you provision the Fabric Extender with statically pinned interfaces, the downlink host interfaces on the
Fabric Extender are pinned to the fabric interfaces in the order they were initially configured. If you want to
maintain a specific relationship of host interfaces to fabric interface across reboots, you should repin the links.
You may want to perform this function in these two situations:
• A change in the max-links configuration.
• If you need to maintain the pinning order of host interfaces to fabric interfaces.
