Cisco ASR 9000 Series System Configuration Guide

The show interface nvFabric-TenGigE/GigE interface provides L1 details and L2 statistics for these
interfaces. The host uses the information received on the topology channel to create the virtual fabric port
interfaces locally. The topology channel TLVs are modified such that they provide the detail port definition
in the format of slot/subslot/port. Currently, there is no TLV in Layer 1 and Layer 2 channel for MTU to be
exchanged from host to satellite. Hence, the host just hard codes it to 9212.
In the case of Cisco ASR 901, nVFabric-GigE interface is created as it supports only 1 GigE ICL. But in
the case of Cisco ASR 9000v, nVFabric-TenGigE interface is created irrespective of whether 1 GigE or
10GigE ICL is used.
Note
The virtual interfaces are deleted,
•
If the satellite informs the host that the port is no longer used as a fabric link.
•
If the satellite is removed from the network topology.
• If the topology channel moves to “Down” state for other reasons, such as authentication failing due to
an incorrect serial ID.
The show nv satellite topology command is updated to use the name of the Satellite nV Fabric interface.Note
