Usage guidelines
After PEX autoconfiguration is enabled, the parent fabric identifies a device as a PEX once it
receives LLDP packets carrying the Port Extension TLV from the device. The parent fabric
automatically establishes a connection with the device and issues PEX settings to the device.
Before you enable PEX autoconfiguration, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
Make sure LLDP is enabled globally on the parent fabric.
•
Make sure the operating mode of candidate PEXs has been set to auto or PEX.
•
Make sure physical interfaces connecting to the parent fabric on the candidate PEXs can be
used as upstream member interfaces. To identify candidate upstream member interfaces, see
IRF 3.1 configuration in the virtual technologies configuration guide for the device.
•
Make sure LLDP is enabled on each candidate cascade member interface and no other
commands are executed on the interfaces.
For more information about the auto-issued PEX settings, see log messages or execute the
display current-configuration
command.
