ESAT

Ethernet satellites

The Ethernet satellite support feature allows the following chassis to act as a port extension for the 7750 SR or 7950 XRS host:

• 7210 SAS-Sx

• 7210 SAS-S

• 7250 IXR-X1/7250 IXR-Xs

• 7250 IXR-e 24SFP+ 8SFP28 2QSFP28

In this configuration, the host node performs all configuration and management functions. Management of the satellite node is not required when it is configured in an Ethernet satellite operations mode. A direct, non-switched, Ethernet connection between the 7750 SR or 7950 XRS host and the Ethernet satellite must be provided. The use of active Layer 2 switching devices in the path between the host and satellite is not supported.
