Q. What is the operating temperature and upper and lower temperature thresholds of the switch? A. For S7500E-XS switches, the operating temperature must be in the range of 0°C (32°F) to 45°C (113°F). You can use the display environment command to display the switch temperature statistics, including the current temperature and temperature thresholds.

Q. How is the switch designed for high availability? A. The switch is designed as follows for high availability: • Power system—2+2 redundancy on an S7504E-XS switch and 1+1 redundancy on other S7500E-XS switches. Power modules and fan trays—Field replaceable.
Q. What is the maximum number of equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) route groups supported by the S7500E-XS Switch Series? A. The S7500E-XS Switch Series supports a maximum of 4095 ECMP route groups. Use the following formula to calculate the actual number supported by the switch: (16 ×...

A. The IRF physical interfaces add an IRF header to each packet before they forward the packets to the neighbor IRF member. The IRF header uses part of the bandwidth. Q. What device models does the S7500E-XS switch support as PEXs in an IRF 3 system? A. The switch supports the following devices as PEXs: S5120-HI series: •...

Q. Why does the number of learned dynamic MAC addresses on an IRF fabric exceed the maximum number of MAC address entries allowed? A. This issue occurs when dynamic MAC addresses are out of synchronization among IRF member devices. In the output from the display mac-address statistic command: The Dynamic Unicast Address (Learned) Count field displays the total number of dynamic MAC addresses •...

Q. What restrictions and guidelines should I follow when I configure TRILL? A. You must make sure that TRILL ports and non-TRILL ports do not form loops in the network. As a best practice, assign TRILL ports and non-TRILL ports to different VLANs if they might form loops. Q.
