| Description | The value of cefexBindingExtenderIndex used as an
Index into the cefexConfigTable to select the Fabric
Extender configuration for this binding entry. However,
a value in this table does not imply that an instance with
this value exists in the cefexConfigTable.
If an entry corresponding to the value of this object does
not exist in cefexConfigTable, the system default behavior
(using DEFVAL values for all the configuration objects as
defined in cefexConfigTable) of the Fabric Extender is
used for this binding entry.
Since an extender may connect to a core switch via
multiple interfaces or fabric ports, it is important all
the binding entries configuring the same fabric extender
are configured with the same extender Index. Every
interface on different fabric extender connecting into
the same core switch is differentiated by its extender id.
To refer to a port on the extender, an example
representation may be extender/slot/port. Extender id
values 1-99 are reserved. For example, reserved values can
be used to identify the core switch and its line cards in
the extender/slot/port naming scheme.
cefexBindingExtenderIndex identifies further attributes
of a fabric extender via the cefexConfigTable. A user
may choose to identify a fabric extender by
specifying its value of cefexConfigExtendername and/or
other attributes. |
