FEX configuration not retained

[eganclose]

Hi Experts

I have a question regarding Fabric extenders (2148/2248).

If the fex is physically disconnected  from 5K, Should  the fex config be retained or lost?

I have a 2148t fex which was single homed to a 5K.

The Fex was physically disconnected from 5K, but its logical configuration is still present  on port channel and physical interface.

when I do show fex XXX , it says not found and no fex information is available

I have not tried connecting the fex back to 5K to see if the fex config is retained.

regards

Nik

Yes, the configuration is retained.  This allows for failures of the FEX and replacing it with a new one without having to reconfigure everything. It may not be visible in the configuration until the FEX comes back online though.
