fex pinning redistribute chassis_ID
Syntax Description
Command Default None
Command Modes EXEC mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines When you provision the Fabric Extender using the Statically Pinned mode (see the Cisco Nexus 2000
Series Fabric Extender Software Configuration Guide), the host interfaces on the Fabric Extender are
pinned to the fabric interfaces in the order that they were initially configured. The next time that you
reboot the Fabric Extender, the configured fabric interfaces are pinned to the host interfaces in an
ascending order by the port number of the fabric interface.
Use the fex pinning redistribute command if you want to configure the same fixed distribution of host
interfaces without restarting the Fabric Extender after your initial configuration.
Caution This command disrupts all the host interface ports of the Fabric Extender. However, the disruption is
shorter than would be the case if you reboot the Fabric Extender.
Examples This example shows how to redistribute the host interfaces on a Fabric Extender:
switch# fex pinning redistribute 101
