Configuring FlexAddress for chassis-level fabric and slots
At the chassis level, you can enable or disable the FlexAddress feature for fabrics and slots. FlexAddress is enabled on a per-fabric–basis
and then slots are selected for participation in the feature. Both fabrics and slots must be enabled to successfully configure FlexAddress.
