Chapter 7 Configuring vPCs Configuring vPCs Send document comments to [email protected] DETAILED STEPS Step 1 Command configure terminal Purpose Enters global configuration mode. Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Example: switch# configure terminal switch(config)# vpc domain domain-id Example: switch(config)# vpc domain 5 switch(config-vpc-domain)# reload restore [delay time-out] Example: switch(config-vpc-domain)# reload restore exit Enters the vPC domain number that you want to configure. The system enters the vpc-domain configuration mode. Configures the vPC to assume its peer is not functional and to bring up the vPC. The default delay is 240 seconds. You can configure a time-out delay from 240 to 3600 seconds. Use the no form of the command to reset the vPC to the standard behavior. Exits the vpc-domain configuration mode. Example: switch(config-vpc-domain)# exit switch(config)# Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 show running-config vpc Example: switch# show running-config vpc show vpc consistency-parameters interface port-channel number (Optional) Displays information about the vPC, specifically the reload status. (Optional) Displays information about the vPC consistency parameters for the specified interface. Example: switch# show vpc consistency-parameters interface port-channel 1 copy running-config startup-config Example: switch# copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Copies the running configuration to the startup configuration. Note To ensure the reload feature is enabled, you should perform this step. This example shows how to set the vPC reload restore feature and save it in the switch startup configuration: switch# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. switch(config)# vpc domain 5 switch(config-vpc-domain)# reload restore Warning: Enables restoring of vPCs in a peer-detached state after reload, will wait for 240 seconds (by default) to determine if peer is un-reachable switch(config-vpc-domain)# exit switch(config)# exit switch# copy running-config startup-config switch# show running-config vpc OL-23435-03 Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide, Release 5.x 7-49

Chapter 7

Configuring vPCs

DETAILED STEPS

This example shows how to set the vPC reload restore feature and save it in the switch startup

configuration:

switch#

configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.

End with CNTL/Z.

switch(config)#

vpc domain 5

switch(config-vpc-domain)#

reload restore

Warning:

Enables restoring of vPCs in a peer-detached state after reload, will wait for 240

seconds (by default) to determine if peer is un-reachable

switch(config-vpc-domain)#

exit

switch(config)#

exit

switch#

copy running-config startup-config

switch#

show running-config vpc

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Example:

switch# configure terminal

switch(config)#

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

vpc domain

domain-id

Example:

switch(config)# vpc domain 5

switch(config-vpc-domain)#

Enters the vPC domain number that you want to

configure. The system enters the vpc-domain

configuration mode.

Step 3

reload restore

[

delay

time-out

]

Example:

switch(config-vpc-domain)# reload restore

Configures the vPC to assume its peer is not

functional and to bring up the vPC. The default

delay is 240 seconds. You can configure a time-out

delay from 240 to 3600 seconds.

Use the

form of the command to reset the vPC to

the standard behavior.

Step 4

exit

Example:

switch(config-vpc-domain)# exit

switch(config)#

Exits the vpc-domain configuration mode.

Step 5

show running-config vpc

Example:

switch# show running-config vpc

(Optional) Displays information about the vPC,

specifically the reload status.

Step 6

show vpc consistency-parameters interface

port-channel

number

Example:

switch# show vpc consistency-parameters

interface port-channel 1

(Optional) Displays information about the vPC

consistency parameters for the specified interface.

Step 7

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

switch# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the

startup configuration.

Note

To ensure the reload feature is enabled, you

should perform this step.
