Cisco Nexus B22 Fabric Extender for HP Getting Started Guide
Configuring the Cisco Nexus B22 Fabric Extender for HP
Associating a Fabric Extender to an EtherChannel
To associate the Fabric Extender to an EtherChannel, perform this task:
This example shows how to associate the Fabric Extender to an EtherChannel interface on the switch:
switch#
configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#
interface port-channel 2
switch(config-if)#
switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)#
fex associate 100
switch(config-if)#
exit
switch(config)#
interface ethernet 1/19
switch(config-if)#
switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)#
fex associate 100
switch(config-if)#
channel-group 2
switch(config-if)#
exit
switch(config)#
interface ethernet 1/20
switch(config-if)#
switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)#
fex associate 100
switch(config-if)#
channel-group 2
switch(config-if)#
exit
switch(config)#
interface ethernet 1/21
switch(config-if)#
switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)#
fex associate 100
switch(config-if)#
channel-group 2
switch(config-if)#
exit
switch(config)#
interface ethernet 1/22
switch(config-if)#
switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)#
fex associate 100
switch(config-if)#
channel-group 2
switch(config-if)#
exit
Note
You have to associate each Ethernet interface that is a members of the EtherChannel as a fabric interface
as shown in the above example.
This example shows how to display the association of the Fabric Extender and the switch:
switch#
show interface port-channel 2 fex-intf

Command
Purpose
Step 1
switch#
configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)#
interface port-channnel
channel
Specifies an EtherChannel to configure.
Step 3
switch(config-if)#
switchport mode
fex-fabric
Sets the EtherChannel to support an external Fabric
Extender.
Step 4
switch(config-if)#
fex associate

Associates the chassis ID to the Fabric Extender unit
attached to the interface. The range of the chassis ID
is from 100 to 199.
Step 5
switch#
show interface port-channel
channel
fex-intf
(Optional) Displays the association of a Fabric
Extender to an EtherChannel interface.
