Enabling the Fabric Extender Locator LED

You can enable the locator beacon LED on the Fabric Extender. It allows you to locate a specific Fabric
Extender in a rack.
Purpose
• N2232TT—32 10-Gigabit Base-T Ethernet host interfaces and 8
10-Gigabit Base-T Ethernet fabric interfaces module
The parent Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch remembers the type of the Fabric
Extender in its binary configuration. When this feature is configured, the Fabric
Extender is only allowed to come online if its type matches the configured
FEX-type.
(Optional)
Deletes the FEX-type. In this case, when a Fabric Extender is connected to the
fabric interfaces and does not match the configured type previously 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.
Changing the number of uplinks with the no pinning max-links
Caution
command disrupts all the host interface ports of the Fabric Extender.
(Optional)
Defines a serial number string. If this command is configured, then a switch
only allows the corresponding chassis ID to associate (using the fex associate
command) if the Fabric Extender reports a matching serial number string.
Caution Configuring a serial number that does not match that of the specified
Fabric Extender will force the Fabric Extender offline.
(Optional)
Deletes the serial number string.
