For points, and to help out SW, I've successfully snmp-walked & run your Nexus "show" commands on one of my 5K's, and uploaded it per your instructions.

Here's hoping it's useful.

We had recently upgraded from two Cisco Nexus 5548P switches to the new 93180YC-EX switches. We did keep our existing 8 FEX modules and use them in conjunction with the new 93180YC's.

I'll do the task in case it is of value.
