Cisco 2148T FEX Port Capabilities Error

cisco-nexus-2000

Does a Cisco 2148T FEX not support 100 Mb interface speed?

When trying to manually configure a host port to run at 100/full on a 2148 FEX I receive an error that states:

ERROR: Configuration does not match the port capability

Best Answer

No, it does not. The 2148 FEX has 48 1000Base-T host interfaces. You can confirm this by checking the interface capabilities with the following command (this taken from a 2248 which does support 100Base-TX):
