The chassis ID ranges from 101 to 199.
The chassis ID is required only to access a host interface on the Fabric Extender. A
value of less than 101 indicates a slot on the parent switch. The following port numbering
convention is used for the interfaces on the switch:
interface ethernet slot
/
port
Note
•
slot
identifies the slot number on the Fabric Extender.
•
port
identifies the port number on a specific slot and chassis ID.
Fabric Extender Image Management
No software ships with the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender. The Fabric Extender image is bundled
into the system image of the parent switch. The image is automatically verified and updated (if required)
during the association process between the parent switch and the Fabric Extender.
When you enter the
install all
command, it upgrades the software on the parent Cisco Nexus Series switch
and also upgrades the software on any attached Fabric Extender. To minimize downtime as much as possible,
the Fabric Extender remains online while the installation process loads its new software image. Once the
software image has successfully loaded, the parent switch and the Fabric Extender both automatically reboot.
This process is required to maintain version compatibility between the parent switch and the Fabric Extender.
