Purpose
Command or Action
(Optional)
Turns off the locator beacon LED for a specific
Fabric Extender.
no locator-led fex FEX-number
Example:
switch# no locator-led fex 101
Step 2
Redistributing the Links
When you provision the Fabric Extender with statically pinned interfaces, the downlink host interfaces on the
Fabric Extender are pinned to the fabric interfaces in the order that they were initially configured. If you want
to maintain a specific relationship of host interfaces to fabric interface across reboots, you should repin the
links.
You may want to perform this function in these two situations:
•
A change in the max-links configuration.
•
If you need to maintain the pinning order of host interfaces to fabric interfaces.
The Cisco Nexus 2248PQ Fabric Extender does not support the static pinning fabric interface connection.
Note
Changing the Number of Links
If you initially configured a specific port on the parent switch, for example port 33, as your only fabric interface,
all 48 host interfaces are pinned to this port. If you provision another port, for example 35, you must enter
the
pinning max-links 2
command to redistribute the host interfaces. All host interfaces are brought down
and host interfaces 1 to 24 are pinned to fabric interface 33 and host interfaces 25 to 48 are pinned to fabric
interface 35.
Maintaining the Pinning Order
The pinning order of the host interfaces is initially determined by the order in which the fabric interfaces were
configured. In this example, four fabric interfaces were configured in the following order:
