Example Port Channel Configurations
This section shows examples on how to configure an F port channel in shared mode and how to bring up the
link between F ports on the NPIV core switches and NP ports on the NPV switches. Before you configure the
F port channel, ensure that F port trunking, F port channeling, and NPIV are enabled.
This example shows how to create the port channel:
switch(config)# interface port-channel 2
switch(config-if)# switchport mode F
switch(config-if)# switchport
switch(config-if)# channel mode active
switch(config-if)# exit
