Preface

This preface describes the audience, organization, and conventions of the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide. It also provides information on how to obtain related documentation.

Audience

This guide is for experienced network administrators who are responsible for configuring and maintaining the Cisco MDS 9000 Family of multilayer directors and fabric switches.

Organization

The Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide is organized as follows:

Chapter	Title	Description

Chapter 1	Interfaces Overview	Provides an overview of all the features in this
		guide.

Chapter 2	Configuring Interfaces	Explains Generation 1 and Generation 2
		module port and operational state concepts in
		Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches and provides
		details on configuring ports and interfaces.

Chapter 3	Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces	Explains configuration concepts for Fibre
		Channel module ports and interfaces.

Chapter 4	Configuring Interface Buffers	Explains configuration concepts for Interface
		Buffers.

Chapter 5	Configuring Trunking	Explains TE ports and trunking concepts.

Chapter 6	Configuring PortChannels	Explains PortChannels and load balancing
		concepts and provides details on configuring
		PortChannels, adding ports to PortChannels,
		and deleting ports from PortChannels.
