Replacing Bridge Port Extenders
You can replace bridge port extenders (BPEs) in existing Extended Edge
Switching topologies.
This procedure explains how to replace a BPE with another BPE of the same model. If
you want to replace an existing BPE with a different model, you need to remove the
existing BPE, and then add the new BPE (see
Inserting Additional Bridge Port Extenders on Cascades).
Note
For cascade
topologies, control plane/traffic is disrupted on the cascade below the BPE being
replaced until the new BPE is connected and accepted into the cascade.
To replace a BPE:
- Detach the cables and remove the existing
BPE.
- Attach the cables to the new BPE.
