Nexus 2248TP-E connected to Nexus 93180YC-EX

[s.dina]

Hi, the Fex 2248TP-E is supported on the Nexus 93180YC-EX like this table says

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus9000/hw/interoperability/fexmatrix/fextables.html

But i need to connect them through a CVR-QSFP-SFP10G with inside a FET-10G on the Nexus93180YC-EX side

Does this type of connection work?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

FET-10G is a Cisco proprietary optic and can only be used between a FEX and a parent switch (5k, 6k, 7, 9k. etc) You can't connect 2 devices together with FET on one side and CVR-QSFP-SFP10G on the other side. Both sides have to be the same.

Hi,

I would like to connecting both parts the FET-10G!!!! the only thing is that on the parent switch Nexus 93180YC-EX we've got 40giga ports so we need to reduce them fiscally from Qsfp to Sfp+ (CVR-QSFP-SFP10G)

The question is, can i use FET-10G with adapters CVR-QSFP-SFP10G on this platform, is it supported?

Nexus 2248TP-E are supported on parent switch Nexus 93180YC-EX witch split (1to4) cables.

Thank in advance

That will not work because FET is proprietory.

FET-10giga works perfectly with adapter CVR-QSFP-SFP10G on platform Nexus 93180-YC-EX

Hi Stefano,

Quick question: Does this mean the 93180YC-EX would only support a 2248TP-E fex on it's 6x QSFP28 ports with 10 G breakout?

Nexus 2248TP-E are supported on parent switch Nexus 93180YC-EX witch split (1to4) cables.

I'm guessing from your post that FEX is not supported when attached to the 48x 1/10/25Gb ports.

James.
