<![CDATA[Using Rack and Mounting Position with Cisco FEX]]>Hello,

does anyone has a solution for the following Problem?

At our datacenter we use Cisco Nexus-Switches with so called FEXes. FEX are used similar to linecards as they build one Switch for configuration with Nexus-Switches but are connected to the NEXUS with LWL-links. As of this they can be placed at different Locations than the NEXUS. It is not possible adressing the FEXes  separately.
Modelling the datacenter with racks it would be great also describing the position of FEXes and placing them into racks but not only the position of the NEXUS switch.

Does anyone has an idea how to do this with NETXMS?

Best regards

Georg

Grouping it in a cluster with the N5k-object helped me administrating the objects.... (Yes i know thats not really the intetntion of this object-type...)

You can create as many of these as you need.

Use those in your racks.
