Configuring uplink interfaces Uplink interfaces must be VFC interfaces in NP mode. To configure an uplink interface: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter VFC interface view. 3. Configure the VFC interface to operate in NP mode. Command system-view interface vfc interface-number fc mode np Remarks N/A This interface is connected to the core switch. By default, a VFC interface on an NPV switch operates in F mode. Configuring downlink interfaces Downlink interfaces must be VFC interfaces in F mode. To configure a downlink interface: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter VFC interface view. 3. Configure the VFC interface to operate in F mode. Command system-view interface vfc interface-number fc mode f Remarks N/A This interface is connected to a node. By default, a VFC interface on an NPV switch operates in F mode. Configuring downlink-to-uplink interface mappings CAUTION: If an uplink interface mapped by a downlink interface is not in the configured mappings, the switch initializes the downlink interface, resulting in traffic interruption. NPV switches automatically map downlink interfaces to uplink interfaces. When automatic mapping cannot meet requirements, for example, when a downlink interface must be connected to a fabric through a specified uplink interface, you can manually map the downlink interface to a specified uplink interface or a set of uplink interfaces. After you configure the mapping, the downlink interface can be mapped to only the configured uplink interfaces. If none of the configured uplink interfaces is operational, the downlink interface cannot be operational. A configured mapping selects the uplink interface with the minimum load from configured uplink interfaces and then maps the downlink interface to it. To configure uplink and downlink mapping: 88
