'Controller Bridge and Port Extender', but it seems too late as the help pages seem to suggest this function has been removed from OS7.18.
What's replaced it, if anything? Or is there another way of achieving the same?
Nothing replaced it. The concept is a (very poor) approximation to switch stacking with a grave drawback: ports on the "port extender" device are run by "controller bridge" ... including all traffic (so traffic handled by two ports on same port extender will pass the CB/PE interconnect twice). With further consequence: if CB device happens to fail, PEs will stop forwarding traffic as well (because they will be brain-less at that point).
So what you'd probably want to see is some kind of central network management tool ... MT doesn't have one, there are 3rd party tools which support configuring ROS devices.
