The Ethernet satellite support feature allows a 7210 SAS-Sx or SAS-S chassis to act as a port extension for the 7750 SR host. In this configuration, all configuration and management functions are performed through the host node. Management of the SAS-Sx/SAS-S node is not required when it is configured in an Ethernet satellite operations mode. A direct, non-switched, Ethernet connection between the 7750/7950 host and the 7210 satellite must be provided. The use of active Layer 2 switching devices in the path between the host and satellite is not supported.

The 7210 SAS-Sx 64-port 10GE Ethernet satellite supports both 10GE and 1GE optics. See the 7210 Optics Guide for a list of supported modules.
The 64x10GE + 4xQSFP28 SAS-Sx satellite does not support the local-forwarding feature.
The 7210 SAS-Mxp does not support the local forwarding feature.
PoE functionality is not supported when the 7210 PoE capable switches are used in satellite mode.
For traffic sent by the 7750 SR or 7950 XRS host to the 7210 SAS satellite, the satellite Q-tag P-bits and DEI bits are set based on the forwarding class and profile associated with the traffic through the 7750 SR or 7950 XRS system.
