FAQs

Q: Is this required for the chassis to forward traffic?
A: Yes. Fabric modules provide the internal crossbar fabric that enables line cards and supervisors to exchange traffic.

Q: How many fabric modules are recommended?
A: Multiple fabric modules are recommended for redundancy and increased fabric bandwidth. Refer to the chassis hardware guide for population guidelines.

Q: Can I mix this with other fabric module generations?
A: Do not mix different fabric generations within the same chassis. Use identical fabric modules for supported operation.

Q: Is online insertion and removal supported?
A: Yes, OIR is supported when following approved procedures.

Q: Will this support all line card types?
A: Support and performance depend on the fabric generation and population as well as line card requirements. Check the compatibility matrix for your specific line cards.
