This command is applicable only if the Fabric Extender is connected to its parent switch using one or more statically pinned fabric interfaces. Command Default The maximum uplinks is 1. Command Modes Fabric Extender configuration mode Command History Release 4.0(1a)N2(1) Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines Use the pinning max-links command when you create a number of pinned fabric interface connections to enable the parent switch to determine a distribution of host interfaces. The host interfaces are divided by the number of uplinks and distributed accordingly. Caution Changing the value of uplinks is disruptive; all the host interfaces on the Fabric Extender are brought down and back up as the parent switch reassigns its static pinning. Examples This example shows how to specify the number of statically pinned uplinks for a Fabric Extender: switch# configure terminal switch(config)# fex 101 switch(config-fex)# pinning max-links 4 This example shows how to revert to the uplink count to the default for a Fabric Extender: switch# configure terminal switch(config)# fex 101 switch(config-fex)# no pinning max-links OL-16599-01 Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Command Reference 4-9
