Example F and TF PortChannel Configurations
S e n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a c k - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m
switch(config-if)# switchport mode F
switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode off
switch(config-if)# switchport speed 4000
switch(config-if)# switchport rate-mode shared
switch(config-if)# channel-group 1
switch(config-if)# no shut
switch(config-if)# exit
Create the PortChannel on the NPV switch:
Step 5
switch(config)# interface port-channel 1
switch(config-if)# switchport mode NP
switch(config-if)# switchport rate-mode shared
switch(config-if)# exit
Step 6
Configure the PortChannel member interfaces on the NPV switch:
switch(config)# interface fc2/1-3
switch(config-if)# shut
switch(config-if)# switchport mode NP
switch(config-if)# switchport speed 4000
switch(config-if)# switchport rate-mode shared
switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode off
switch(config-if)# channel-group 1
switch(config-if)# no shut
switch(config-if)# exit
Step 7
Set the administrative state of all the PortChannel member interfaces in both NPIV core switch and the
NPV switch to ON:
switch(config)# interface fc1/1-3
switch(config-if)# shut
switch(config-if)# no shut
switch(config)# interface fc2/1-3
switch(config-if)# shut
switch(config-if)# no shut
The speed configuration must be the same for all member interfaces in a PortChannel. While configuring
Note
the channel in dedicated mode, ensure that required bandwidth is available to the ports.
This example shows how to configure channeling in dedicated mode and bring up the TF-TNP
PortChannel link between TF ports in the NPIV core switch, and TNP ports in the NPV switch:
Enable the F port trunking and channeling protocol on the MDS core switch:
Step 1
switch(config)# feature fport-channel-trunk
Enable NPIV on the MDS core switch:
Step 2
switch(config)# feature npiv
Create the PortChannel on the MDS core switch:
Step 3
switch(config)# interface port-channel 2
switch(config-if)# switchport mode F
switch(config-if)# switchport rate-mode dedicated
switch(config-if)# channel mode active
switch(config-if)# exit
