Configuring The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch With Firmware Ver 5.X In Npv Mode For A Multiple Link Lag (Link Aggregation) Connection From The Dell Force10 Mxl; Figure 40. Multiple Port Link Cisco 5548 Configuration (Can Be Copied And Pasted) - Dell Force10 MXL Deployment Manual

Deploying FCoE (FIP Snooping) on Dell Force 10 MXL
Configuring the Cisco Nexus 5000 series switch with firmware ver 5.x in NPV mode for a
multiple link LAG (link aggregation) connection from the Dell Force10 MXL
The typical scenario in a business environment consists of more than one connection or uplink. Then
the Cisco Nexus ToR is many times set in an aggregation mode or NPV to simply pass FC out to another
terminating switch (in our example Brocade 300 or 5100).The following pictures and examples describe
a two link LAG from a Dell Force10 MXL to the Cisco 5548UP with the Cisco switch set in NPV mode.
