Abstract
A system for selectively configuring line cards to conserve power and/or costs of goods in network fabrics may include a first line card and a second line card. In this example, the second line card may include (1) a set of connectors capable of communicatively coupling a set of links to the first line card, (2) a multiplexer that facilitates defining a configuration through which the set of links are communicatively coupled to the first line card via the set of connectors, and (3) circuitry that (A) detects a density type of the first line card and (B) programs the multiplexer to define the configuration based at least in part on the density type of the first line card. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
