Table 4. Fabric topology Chassis Slot Module Chassis 1 A1 MX9116n FSE A2 MX7116n FEM A1 MX7116n FEM A2 MX9116n FSE A1 MX7116n FEM A2 MX7116n FEM Chassis 2 Chassis 3-10 You can also use Fabric B to create a second scalable fabric: Restrictions and guidelines The following restrictions and guidelines are applicable when building a scalable fabric: ● Mixing switch types in the same fabric is not supported.
● For chassis that only contain FEMs, all four FEMs must connect to the same chassis with the FSEs. The fabric B FEMs cannot be connected to FSEs in a different chassis as the fabric A FSEs. Recommended connection order While any QSSFP28-DD port on the MX9116n can be used for any purpose, the table below describes the recommended port order for connecting chassis with FEM modules to the FSE. The table contains references IOMs in fabric A, but the same guidelines apply to IOMs in fabric B. Table 5.
10 SmartFabric Services SmartFabric Services is a capability of Dell EMC Networking OS10 Enterprise Edition running on Ethernet switches designed for the PowerEdge MX platform. A SmartFabric is a logical entity containing a collection of physical resources such as servers and switches and logical resources —networks, templates, and uplinks.
• Deleting fabric Guidelines for operating in SmartFabric mode The guidelines and restrictions while operating in SmartFabric mode are as follows: ● When operating with multiple chassis, ensure that switches in A1/A2 or B1/B2 in one chassis are interconnected only with other A1/A2 or B1/B2 switches respectively. Connecting switches that are placed in slots A1/A2 in one chassis with switches in slots B1/B2 in another chassis is not supported. ● Uplinks must be symmetrical.
2 x MX9116n Fabric Switching Engines in the same chassis Use this placement in environments with a single chassis. The switches must be placed in either slots A1/A2 or slots B1/B2. A SmartFabric cannot include a switch in Fab A and a switch in Fab B. Switch to switch cabling When operating in SmartFabric mode, each switch pair runs a Virtual Link Trunk (VLT) link between them. For the MX9116n, the port groups 11 and 12 are used. For the MX5108n, ports 9 and 10 are used.
NOTE: You cannot select the ports, and the connection topology is enforced by SmartFabric Services. NOTE: VLT is supported only on Ethernet and not on FCoE. Physically separate uplinks for LAN and FCoE traffic are required for MX5108n and MX9116n switches. Upstream network switch requirements It is recommended, but not required, that PowerEdge MX switches are connected to a pair of redundant upstream switches.
2. If the host OS is Windows, the LACP timer MUST be set to “slow” (also referred to as “normal”) For the list of supported operating systems, see Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 Enclosure Installation and Service Manual. NOTE: In the fabric mode, if an LACP team is created with four port and you want to delete two ports from the LACP team, you must delete the entire LACP team and create a new LACP team with two ports.
