Hi,
Is it possible to see the FEX uplink port via the CLI? (No physical access to the device, For documentation purposes).
For example, we have an Nexus 5 or 7K configured to support the N2k.
How can we know the physical port which is connected to the N2k?
N5/7K (Ethx/x)-------(???)N2K
You can see the fabric port on the parent switch using the following commands:
show interface fex-fabric
show fex [fex#] [detail]
Do we have any commands to show the physical uplink port connected in N2k?
Any kind of help would be appreciated.

>What we are looking is the uplink port of the 2k.
Note that FEX_ports do not support switch-connections , only host-mode ports.

Hi Mark,
Looks like that's the command we are looking for but one more question cam up.
On the N2k-2348TQ there are only 6ports for the uplink:
https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/assets/prod/switches/nexus-2000-series/nexus-2348tq-10ge-fabric-extender-3d-model.html
However, the command output looks like this:
###############################################################
ParentSwitch01# show interface fex-fabric
Fabric Fabric Fex FEX Fex
Fex Port Port State Uplink Model Serial
---------------------------------------------------------------
101 Eth1/1 Active 21 N2K-C2348TQ-10GE FOC2037Q1N2
###############################################################
ParentSwitch02# show interface fex-fabric
Fabric Fabric Fex FEX Fex
Fex Port Port State Uplink Model Serial
---------------------------------------------------------------
101 Eth1/1 Active 17 N2K-C2348TQ-10GE FOC2037Q1N2
How do you interpret the FEX UPLINK ports?
ParentSwitch01: FEX UPLINK: 21
ParentSwitch02: FEX UPLINK: 17
