Step 1 | switch#
configure
terminal
|
Enters global
configuration mode.
|
Step 2 | interface ethernet slot/port
| Enters interface configuration mode for the first Ethernet port.
Note
|
If this is a
10G breakout port, the
slot/port syntax
is
slot/QSFP-module/port.
|
|
Step 3 | shutdown
| Disables local traffic on the interface.
Note
| Shutting down the interface before enabling VN-Tag mode prevents the dynamic creation of a fixed vEthernet interface.
|
|
Step 4 | switchport mode vntag
| Enables port extender support on the interface.
|
Step 5 | interface ethernet slot/port
| Enters interface configuration mode for the second Ethernet port.
Note
|
If this is a
10G breakout port, the
slot/port syntax
is
slot/QSFP-module/port.
|
|
Step 6 | shutdown
| Disables local traffic on the interface.
|
Step 7 | switchport mode vntag
| Enables port extender support on the interface.
|
Step 8 | interface vethernet interface-number
| Enters configuration mode for the first virtual interface for the first Ethernet port.
|
Step 9 | bind interface ethernet slot/port channel channel-number
| Binds the virtual interface to the physical interface and the specified port channel.
Note
| The port channel numbers of the virtual interfaces must match those configured on the vNICs.
|
Note
|
If this is a
10G breakout port, the
slot/port syntax
is
slot/QSFP-module/port.
|
|
Step 10 | no shutdown
| Enables local traffic on the interface.
|
Step 11 | interface vethernet interface-number
| Enters configuration mode for the second virtual interface for the first Ethernet port.
|
Step 12 | bind interface ethernet slot/port channel channel-number
| Binds the virtual interface to the physical interface and the specified port channel.
Note
|
If this is a
10G breakout port, the
slot/port syntax
is
slot/QSFP-module/port.
|
|
Step 13 | no shutdown
| Enables local traffic on the interface.
|
Step 14 | interface vethernet interface-number
| Enters configuration mode for the first virtual interface for the second Ethernet port.
|
Step 15 | bind interface ethernet slot/port channel channel-number
| Binds the virtual interface to the physical interface and the specified port channel.
Note
|
If this is a
10G breakout port, the
slot/port syntax
is
slot/QSFP-module/port.
|
|
Step 16 | no shutdown
| Enables local traffic on the interface.
|
Step 17 | interface vethernet interface-number
| Enters configuration mode for the second virtual interface for the second Ethernet port.
|
Step 18 | bind interface ethernet slot/port channel channel-number
| Binds the virtual interface to the physical interface and the specified port channel.
Note
|
If this is a
10G breakout port, the
slot/port syntax
is
slot/QSFP-module/port.
|
|
Step 19 | no shutdown
| Enables local traffic on the interface.
|
Step 20 | interface ethernet slot/port
| Enters configuration mode for the first Ethernet port.
Note
|
If this is a
10G breakout port, the
slot/port syntax
is
slot/QSFP-module/port.
|
|
Step 21 | no shutdown
| Enables local traffic on the interface.
|
Step 22 | interface ethernet slot/port
| Enters configuration mode for the second Ethernet port.
Note
|
If this is a
10G breakout port, the
slot/port syntax
is
slot/QSFP-module/port.
|
|
Step 23 | no shutdown
| Enables local traffic on the interface.
|
Step 24 | With redundant switches, repeat this procedure with identical settings on the secondary switch.
