In depth UCS FEX questions

[visitor68]

With regard to the 2100 FEX module on the UCS....what exactly does it do besides simply act as a mux?

Does it have any buffers (ingress and egress)?

Does it have any switching intelligence at all?

How does it handle the reception of DCB packets (PFC, ETS, etc) from the 6100 or the VIC on the other side? Does it just pass it on?

What does it do with regard to FIP and FIP snooping?

Need answers ASAP!

Thank you!

Ex,

The 2100 operate identically to the FEX 2000 series for N5K.  I know you've asked quite a bit of detail on that device already, same applies to the 2104XP IOM for UCS.

Did you have any other specific questions on the UCS IOM (FEX)?

Regards,

Robert
