    What is the Difference between Yellow and White Labeled Ports on a Nexus 2300 Series FEX?

    The Cisco Nexus 2300 platform provides two types of ports: ports for end-host attachment (host interfaces) and uplink ports (fabric interfaces). Both yellow and white colored fabric interfaces can be used to provide connectivity to the upstream parent Cisco Nexus switch. There is no difference between yellow labeled and white labeled uplink ports.
