Interfaces and port groups
On the MX9116n FSE and MX5108n, server-facing interfaces are internal and are
enabled by default. To view the backplane port connections to servers, use the show
inventory media command.
In the output, a server-facing interface displays INTERNAL as its media. A FIXED port
does not use external transceivers and always displays as Dell EMC Qualified
true.
