Chapter 6 Configuring PortChannels

Configuration Examples for F and TF PortChannels

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

Step 7 Set the administrative state of all the PortChannel member interfaces in both NPIV core switch and the NPV switch to ON:

switch(config)# interface fc1/1-3switch(config-if)# shut switch(config-if)# no shut

switch(config)# interface fc2/1-3switch(config-if)# shut switch(config-if)# no shut

Note The speed configuration must be the same for all member interfaces in a PortChannel. While configuring the channel in dedicated mode, ensure that required bandwidth is available to the ports.

This example shows how to configure channeling in dedicated mode and bring up the TF-TNP PortChannel link between TF ports in the NPIV core switch, and TNP ports in the NPV switch:

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 2

switch(config-if)# switchport mode F

switch(config-if)#switchport rate-mode dedicated

switch(config-if)# channel mode active switch(config-if)# exit

Step 4 Configure the PortChannel member interfaces on the MDS core switch in dedicated mode:

switch(config)# interface fc1/4-6 switch(config-if)#shut switch(config-if)#switchport mode F switch(config-if)#switchport speed 4000 switch(config-if)#switchport rate-mode dedicated switch(config-if)#switchport trunk mode on switch(config-if)#channel-group 2 switch(config-if)#no shut switch(config-if)#exit

Step 5 Create the PortChannel in dedicated mode on the NPV switch:

switch(config)# interface port-channel 2

switch(config-if)#switchport rate-mode dedicated
