For more information, see the PowerEdge MX Network Architecture Guide available at https://www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals. Restrictions and guidelines The following restrictions and guidelines are applicable when building a scalable fabric: ● Mixing switch types in the same fabric is not supported. For example: MX9116n in slot A1 and MX5108n in slot A2 ● Mixing switch types across fabrics is supported. For example: MX9116n in slots A1& A2 and MX5108n in slots B1 & B2 ● All FSE and FEM IOMs in a scalable fabric must be in the same OME-Modular MCM group. FEMs in a chassis in MCM group 1 cannot be connected to FSEs in a chassis in MCM group 2. 78 MX Scalable Fabric architecture
