Creating A Virtual Fibre Channel Port Channel Interface - Cisco Nexus 7000 series Configuration Manual

Creating a Virtual Fibre Channel Port Channel Interface

This example shows how to bind a virtual Fibre Channel interface to an Ethernet interface:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface vfc 4
switch(config-if)# bind interface ethernet 1/4
This example shows how to delete a virtual Fibre Channel interface:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# no interface vfc 4
Creating a Virtual Fibre Channel Port Channel Interface
You can create a virtual Fibre Channel port channel interface that automatically binds to the port channel with
the same interface number.
Before You Begin
• For the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series, ensure that you create the port channel interface before you create the
• For the Cisco MDS 9500 switches, ensure that you create the Ethernet port channel interface before you

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Creates a virtual Fibre Channel interface (if it does not already
exist) that is bound to the port channel with the same interface
number and enters interface configuration mode. The int-number
range is from 1 to 4096 (for Cisco Nexus 7000) or from 257 to
4095 (for Cisco MDS 9500). The default switchport mode for
this interface is E.
