Technical Specifications

FAQs

Q: What parent switches are compatible?
A: Nexus 5K/6K/7K/9K models that support FEX with appropriate NX-OS versions. Verify release notes for specific compatibility.

Q: Does this unit provide PoE on the RJ45 ports?
A: No. The 10GBASE-T host ports are non-PoE.

Q: Can the QSFP+ uplinks be split into 4x10G?
A: Yes, on supported parents and optics, QSFP+ ports can be channelized into 4x10G using breakout cables or optics.

Q: Is any license required on the FEX itself?
A: No. The FEX is license-free; features and licenses apply on the parent Nexus.

Q: What airflow options are available?
A: Both port-side intake and port-side exhaust configurations are available. Ensure fans and PSUs match the desired airflow direction.

Q: What is included in this 8F bundle?
A: It includes 8 x Fabric Extender Transceivers (FET) for the fabric uplinks, along with 2 PSUs and 3 fan modules.

Q: Can I dual-home this FEX to two parent switches?
A: Yes. Use vPC to dual-home uplinks to two parents for active-active redundancy.
