Configuring the Cisco Nexus B22 Fabric Extender for HP Associating a Fabric Extender to a Fabric Interface A Fabric Extender is connected to the switch through physical Ethernet interfaces or an EtherChannel. By default, the switch does not allow the attached Fabric Extender to connect until it has been assigned a chassis ID and is associated with the connected interface. Note The Fabric Extender may connect to the switch through a number of separate physical Ethernet interfaces or at most one EtherChannel interface. This section includes the following topics: • Associating a Fabric Extender to an Ethernet Interface, page 8 • Associating a Fabric Extender to an EtherChannel, page 9 • Disassociating a Fabric Extender from an Interface, page 10 Associating a Fabric Extender to an Ethernet Interface To associate the Fabric Extender to an Ethernet interface, perform this task: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Command switch# configure terminal switch(config)# interface ethernet slot/port switch(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric switch(config-if)# fex associate chassis switch# show interface ethernet port/slot fex-intf Purpose Enters configuration mode. Specifies an Ethernet interface to configure. Sets the interface to support an external Fabric Extender. Associates the chassis ID to the Fabric Extender unit attached to the interface. The range of the chassis ID is from 100 to 199. (Optional) Displays the association of a Fabric Extender to an Ethernet interface. This example shows how to associate the Fabric Extender to an Ethernet interface on the switch: switch# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/19 switch(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric switch(config-if)# fex associate 102 This example shows how to display the association of the Fabric Extender and the switch: switch# show interface ethernet 1/19 fex-intf Fabric FEX Interface Interfaces Eth1/19 Eth100/1/16 Eth100/1/15 Eth100/1/14 Eth100/1/12 Eth100/1/11 Eth100/1/10 Eth100/1/8 Eth100/1/7 Eth100/1/6 Eth100/1/4 Eth100/1/3 Eth100/1/2 Eth100/1/13 Eth100/1/9 Eth100/1/5 Eth100/1/1 Cisco Nexus B22 Fabric Extender for HP Getting Started Guide 8
