cisco 7000 - change fabric port to access

[robertkwild]

hi all,

i want to make a switchport back to access from a fabric extender

i have done the command -

default int eth9/13

int eth9/13

switchport mode access

switchport access vlan 110

no shut

but its still showing up as a FEX port, how can i change this please

many thanks,

rob

EDIT - i have a feeling there actually different connectors?

Hi,

Can you post the output of "sh interface ethernet 9/13 status"?

What are using to connect this interface?  Are you using a FET (Fabric Extender Transceiver) or a standard optic.

If you are using a FET that is the reason you see the port type is "Fabric Exte"

ohhhh is that the reason why as fabric and 10gig module sfps are totally different?

i cant actually get the module out to look as its stuck

[Reza Sharifi · Accepted solution]

Yes, if you take the SFP out, you should see the word FET somewhere on it.
