Why each option
The Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis, the largest in the Nexus 7000 series, supports a maximum of 5 fabric modules, which provide the crossbar switching capacity interconnecting all line cards.
The Cisco Nexus 7010 provides 5 dedicated fabric module slots that accept FAB-series modules, delivering the full switching fabric bandwidth required for line-rate forwarding across all installed I/O modules in the chassis.
6 fabric modules exceeds the physical slot allocation in any Nexus 7000 chassis - the platform reserves a fixed number of slots for fabric modules and the architecture does not support 6.
4 fabric modules is the maximum for smaller Nexus 7000 variants such as the Nexus 7006, not the overall platform maximum across the full product family.
7 fabric modules is not a valid configuration for any Nexus 7000 chassis model - no chassis in the series provides that many dedicated fabric module slots.
