F2 modules are only supported by the following FEX devices:Note
• 2248TP
• 2248TP-E
• 2232TP
• 2232PP
• 2232TM
• 2224TP
Each port in the ASIC has an index. Allow only ports with similar indices across ASICs to be added to a
port channel.
For example, if port 1 has an index of 1 and port 2 has an index of 2, then
Note
• Supported: Port 1 of ASIC 1 and port 1 of ASIC 2 are added to a port channel.
• Not supported: Port 1 of ASIC 1 and port 2 of ASIC 2 to form a port channel.
In general, a set of ports from an ASIC that has an index sub-set S, such as {1,2,4}, is allowed to be added
to a port-channel only if the port-channel has an equivalent or an empty set.
