Beginning with Cisco Release 5.2(1), you can configure a Fabric Extender (FEX) port as a Layer 3 interface for host connectivity, but not for routing. See the Configuring the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender for more information on fabric extenders.

Kindly rate for useful post.

As it is Layer3, why cannot it be for routing?
