FAQs

Q: What is a Fabric Extender (FEX)?
A: A FEX acts as a remote line card for the parent switch, extending access ports while centralizing control and management.

Q: What are FET transceivers?
A: Fabric Extender Transceivers are optics specifically supported for FEX-to-parent links; they are not general-purpose SR optics.

Q: Are the access ports 10GBASE-T?
A: Yes. The included FEX units provide 10GbE over copper (10GBASE-T) to servers and endpoints.

Q: What does LEM include?
A: LEM indicates license entitlements for advanced features on the platform; consult software feature matrices for exact coverage.

Q: Can I mix different FEX models with this chassis?
A: Mixing may be possible if supported by the platform and software; ensure compatibility in the release notes.
