Verifying the Configuration
This section describes how to display the configuration of the Fabric Extender and verify the chassis hardware
status.
Verifying the Fabric Extender Configuration
To display configuration information about the defined interfaces on a Fabric Extender, perform one of the
following tasks:
Purpose
Command or Action
Displays information about a specific Fabric Extender
or all attached units.
show fex
[
FEX-number
][
detail
]
Displays the Fabric Extender ports that are pinned to
a specific switch interface.
show interface
type number
fex-intf
Displays the switch interfaces that have detected a
Fabric Extender uplink.
show interface fex-fabric
