Profinet - In fabric conect

NikAll — Fri, 12 Apr 2024 08:23:58 GMT

Hello

I am very new to the Extreme Network side, just unpacked my first Extreme switch a few weeks ago. Coming from a Cisco/mixed Env.

And my company is runing Industry protocols alot.

And before you could just look at most of industry switches they will tell you "supports Profinet"

but its hard do find any info on the Fabric Side.

we will have a big fiber node. and and have a A and B x 5 paris switch.

and we want to use fabric connect.

but i cant find if i can run fabirconnect with profinet on it!

I quite sure the fabric "does not care" and just forwards the frames from A - Z.

Yeah that is my understanding also.

I also tested it now and worked fine.

but Always nice with offical support as its a major protocol in critical infrastructions
