B22 Fex ACI deployment

[joeharb]

We are migrating some Dell Chassis to our ACI infrastructure with B22 expansion modules.  The FEX's are online but I do have a question about the speed settings in the Leaf Access Policy Group, should this be set to 10GBs or 1GBs?  The infra team is noticing a difference in the speed displayed on the 16 ports.  The FEX are online and this maybe a cosmetic issue but would like to hear from anyone with experience on deploying the B22's within ACI.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi, 

Thanks for the question. You can refer below link for the entire procedure which is using 1Gbps speed settings in the Leaf Access policy group for Dell Chassis to  ACI infrastructure with B22 expansion modules. Since you suspect it to be a cosmetic issue. We would request you to raise a TAC case to know the previous experiences with the B22's expansion modules with Cisco ACI.
