N2K Fabric Extender issue with N9K

[Collin Ng]

Hi All,

I try to setup N2K extender from Parent switch N9K, but FEX is showing offline.

Any configuration I missing?

Please let me know.

Thank you.

Hi,

According to the Supported FEX Modules section of the NX-OS 7.0(3)I1(3) release note, the Nexus 2348UPQ is not supported on the Nexus 9300 with the software version you're running.

For support you will need to upgrade to NX-OS 7.0(3)I2(1). See Supported FEX Modules from the NX-OS 7.0(3)I2(1) release note.

Thank you.  :)
