2 x MX5108n Ethernet Switches in the same chassis The MX5108n Ethernet Switch is supported only in single chassis configurations. The switches must be placed in slots A1/A2 or slots B1/B2. A SmartFabric cannot include a switch in Fab A and a switch in Fab B. In SmartFabric mode, ports 9 and 10 are automatically configured in a VLT at 40GbE speed. For port 10, use a cable or optic that supports 40GbE and not 100GbE. 2 x MX9116n Fabric Switching Engines in the same chassis Use this placement in environments with a single chassis. The switches must be placed in either slots A1/A2 or slots B1/B2. A SmartFabric cannot include a switch in Fab A and a switch in Fab B. The fabric design, "2 x Mx9116n Fabric Switching Engines in the same chassis" is supported, but not recommended. Use of this design displays an error message on the Fabric Topology and View Topology pages of OME - Modular. Switch to switch cabling When operating in SmartFabric mode, each switch pair runs a Virtual Link Trunk (VLT) link between them. For the MX9116n, the port groups 11 and 12 are used. 86 SmartFabric Services
