Prerequisites

  • The control bridge can be a standalone unit or a stack (ring or linear).

  • Port extenders can be cascaded up to a depth of six. A ring topology of a PE chain is supported beginning with FastIron 08.0.50 and later.

  • All units must be booted with the same software image.

  • Only a FastIron 08.0.40 or later image is supported on 802.1BR (the CB runs the SWR08040.bin image, and the PE runs the SPR08040.bin image).

  • No licenses are required for SPX (802.1BR or Campus Fabric).
