Common mistakes.
- A. The FET is not designed for direct server-to-switch connections; standard SFP or SFP+ transceivers are used for server host-facing ports on the Nexus 5548.
- B. Servers do not connect to the Nexus 5010 using a FET; FET is specific to FEX-to-parent-switch uplinks, not server access links.
- D. Servers connect to the Nexus 2000 FEX via standard host-facing ports using regular transceivers, not the FET, which is reserved for the FEX fabric uplink only.
