N5548-Bottom(config)# fex 103
N5548-Bottom(config-fex)#
4. Create the PortChannel, change the port mode, and associate the fabric extender with the PortChannel.
N5548-Bottom(config-if)# interface port-channel 3
N5548-Bottom(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
N5548-Bottom(config-if)# fex associate 103
N5548-Bottom(config-if)#
5. Assign the Cisco Nexus parent switch ports to the PortChannel.
N5548-Bottom(config-if)# interface ethernet 1/1
N5548-Bottom(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
N5548-Bottom(config-if)# fex associate 103
N5548-Bottom(config-if)# channel-group 3
N5548-Bottom(config-if)# interface ethernet 1/2
N5548-Bottom(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
N5548-Bottom(config-if)# fex associate 103
N5548-Bottom(config-if)# channel-group 3
6. Repeat the steps on the second Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch connected to the fabric extender in
