Usage Information
Use the show inventory media command to verify the media type inserted in a port.
On the MX9116n Fabric Switching Engine and MX5108n Ethernet Switch, server-facing interfaces are on the
backplane and are enabled by default. To view the backplane port connections to servers, use the show
inventory media command. In the output, a FIXED port does not use external transceivers and always
displays as Dell EMC Qualified.
