Configuration Examples for F and TF PortChannels

This example shows how to configure F PortChannel in shared mode and bring up the link (not supported on the MDS 91x4 switches) between F ports on the NPIV core switches and NP ports on the NPV switches:

Step 1 Enable the F port trunking and channeling protocol on the MDS core switch. switch(config)# feature fport-channel-trunk

Step 2 Enable NPIV on the MDS core switch: switch(config)# feature npiv

Step 3 Create the PortChannel on the MDS core switch:

switch(config)# interface port-channel 1 switch(config-if)#switchport mode F switch(config-if)#channel mode active switch(config-if)#switchport trunk mode off switch(config-if)#switchport rate-mode shared switch(config-if)#exit

Step 4 Configure the PortChannel member interfaces on the core switch:

switch(config)# interface fc2/1-3 switch(config-if)#shut switch(config-if)#switchport mode F switch(config-if)#switchport trunk mode off switch(config-if)#switchport speed 4000 switch(config-if)#switchport rate-mode shared switch(config-if)#channel-group 1 switch(config-if)#no shut switch(config-if)#exit

Step 5 Create the PortChannel on the NPV switch:

switch(config)# interface port-channel 1 switch(config-if)#switchport mode NP switch(config-if)#switchport rate-mode shared switch(config-if)#exit

Step 6 Configure the PortChannel member interfaces on the NPV switch:
