Feature History for Interfaces
Feature Information
This feature can be used to identify individual
switch and directly attached peer ports in a
data center environment.
The following command was introduced:
beacon interface fc slot/port {both | local |
peer} [status {normal | warning | critical}]
[duration seconds] [frequency number]
The link connecting from a core switch to a
Cisco N-Port Virtualizer (NPV) switch must
be treated as an ISL (core port) in interfaces
and port channels. Port monitor may take
portguard action on the link if it is treated as
an edge port, which will result in the loss of
connectivity to the devices that are connected
to the Cisco NPV switch.
The following command was introduced:
switchport logical-type {auto | core | edge}
The port-type {access-port | trunks | all}
command was replaced with the logical-type
{core | edge | all} command, where port-type
was replaced with logical-type, access-port
was replaced with edge, and trunks was
replaced with core.
The following command was modified:
logical-type {core | edge | all}
