What is a critical step when physically installing a Fabric Expander Module (FEM) into an MX7000 chassis?

Connecting the FEM to an external power source before installation

Installing the FEM in any available front bay

Configuring the FEM's IP address before installation

Ensuring the FEM is firmly seated and secured with the retention screws

An organization is planning to deploy an MX7000 chassis with a mix of compute sleds that have 10 GbE and 25 GbE mezzanine ports. The administrator needs to ensure that all sleds can connect to the in-chassis switches. Which statement about the FEM's role in this deployment is accurate?

The FEM can only connect to sleds with 25 GbE mezzanine ports

The FEM must be configured with a separate VLAN for each mezzanine speed

The FEM provides a transparent connection between the sled mezzanine ports and the IOM, regardless of the mezzanine speed

The FEM converts 10 GbE mezzanine ports to 25 GbE before forwarding to the IOM

Why is it important to update the firmware of the Fabric Expander Module (FEM)?

To enable the FEM to route network traffic

To increase the number of ports on the FEM

To provide a graphical user interface for the FEM

To ensure compatibility with the in-chassis switch and other components

What is the recommended approach for updating FEM firmware in an MX7000 chassis?

Use the chassis management controller (CMC) to apply the firmware update

Download the firmware to a USB drive and insert it into the FEM

Use the iDRAC of a compute sled to update the FEM firmware

Replace the FEM with a new one to get the latest firmware

A company is deploying an MX7000 chassis with two IOMs and two FEMs. The administrator needs to configure the network so that compute sleds in the chassis can communicate with each other and with the external network. The administrator has created a VLAN on the IOM and added the uplink ports to the VLAN. However, the compute sleds cannot communicate with each other. What is the most likely cause?

The compute sleds are not configured with the correct IP addresses

The IOM is not configured with a static route for the VLAN

The FEM is not configured with the correct VLAN

The FEM-facing ports on the IOM are not members of the VLAN
