(Optional) copy running-config startup-config DETAILED STEPS Step 1 Command configure terminal Purpose Enters global configuration mode. Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Example: switch# configure terminal switch(config)# interface port-channel channel-number Example: switch(config)# interface port-channel 20 switch(config-if)# vpc number Example: switch(config-if)# vpc 5 switch(config-vpc-domain)# exit Selects the port channel that you want to put into the vPC to connect to the downstream device, and enters the interface configuration mode. Configures the selected port channel into the vPC to connect to the downstream device. You can use any module in the device for these port channels. The range is from 1 and 4096. Note The vPC number that you assign to the port channel connecting to the downstream device from the vPC peer device must be identical on both vPC peer devices. Exits the vpc-domain configuration mode. Step 5 Example: switch(config-vpc-domain)# exit switch(config)# show vpc brief (Optional) Displays information on the vPCs. Step 6 Example: switch# show vpc brief copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Copies the running configuration to the Example: startup configuration. switch# copy running-config startup-config This example shows how to configure a port channel that will connect to the downstream device: switch# configure terminal switch(config)# interface port-channel 20 switch(config-if)# vpc 5 switch(config-if Manually Configuring a vPC Domain MAC Address When you create a vPC domain, the Cisco NX-OS software automatically creates a vPC system MAC address, which is used for operations that are confined to the link-scope, such as LACP. However, you may choose to configure the vPC domain MAC address manually. 7-42 Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide, Release 5.x OL-23435-03
