Moving Other Etherchannels Into A Vpc - Cisco AP775A - Nexus Converged Network Switch 5010 Configuration Manual

Moving Other EtherChannels into a vPC

Ensure that the connected Fabric Extender is online.
You must configure both switches on either side of the vPC peer link with the following procedure.

This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel host interface:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 101/1/20
switch(config-if)# channel-group 7 mode active
Moving Other EtherChannels into a vPC
To connect to the downstream switch, you create a EtherChannel from the downstream switch to the primary
vPC peer switch and you create another EtherChannel from the downstream switch to the secondary peer
switch. Finally, working on each vPC peer switch, you assign a vPC number to the EtherChannel that connects
to the downstream switch. You will experience minimal traffic disruption when you are creating vPCs.
Before You Begin
Ensure that you have enabled the vPC feature.
You must configure both switches on either side of the vPC peer link with the following procedure.
