Command
Purpose
Step 1
switch#
configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)#
fex
chassis
Enters configuration mode for the specified Fabric
Extender chassis ID. The range of the chassis ID is
from 100 to 199.
Step 3
switch(config-fex)#
description
desc
Specifies the description. The default is the string
FEX
xxxx
where
xxxx
is the chassis ID. If the chassis
ID is 123, the description is FEX0123.
switch(config-fex)#
no description
Deletes the description.
switch(config-fex)#
pinning max-links
uplinks
Defines the number of uplinks. The default is 1. The

switch(config-fex)#
serial
serial
Defines a serial number string. If this command is
configured, then a switch will only allow the
corresponding chassis ID to associate (using the
fex
associate
command) if the Fabric Extender reports a
matching serial number string.
Configuring a serial number other than that of the
given Fabric Extender will force the Fabric Extender
offline.
switch(config-fex)#
no serial
Deletes the serial number string.
switch(config-fex)#
beacon
Turns on the beacon LED. This LED allows you to
locate a specific Fabric Extender in a rack.
