•Monitoring the Port Channel Configuration
•Configuration Example for Port Channels
•Feature History for Port Channels
A port channel is an aggregation of multiple physical interfaces that creates a logical interface. You can bundle up to eight individual active links into a port channel to provide increased bandwidth and redundancy. Port channeling also load balances traffic across these physical interfaces. The port channel stays operational as long as at least one physical interface within the port channel is operational.
You can use static port channels, with no associated aggregation protocol, for a simplified configuration.
This section includes the following topics:
•Load Balancing Using Port Channels
•LACP
A port channel bundles physical links into a channel group to create a single logical link that provides the aggregate bandwidth of up to eight physical links. If a member port within a port channel fails, the traffic previously carried over the failed link switches to the remaining member ports within the port channel.
You can bundle up to eight ports into a static port channel without using any aggregation protocol.
Note The device does not support Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) for port channels.
Each port can be in only one port channel. All the ports in a port channel must be compatible; they must use the same speed and duplex mode (see the "Compatibility Checks" section). When you run static port channels with no aggregation protocol, the physical links are all in the on channel mode.
You can create port channels directly by creating the port channel interface, or you can create a channel group that acts to aggregate individual ports into a bundle. When you associate an interface with a channel group, the software creates a matching port channel automatically if the port channel does not already exist. In this instance, the port channel assumes the Layer 2 configuration of the first interface. You can also create the port channel first. In this instance, the Cisco Nexus 1000V creates an empty channel group with the same channel number as the port channel and takes the default Layer 2 configuration, as well as the compatibility configuration (see the "Compatibility Checks" section).
Note The port channel is operationally up when at least one of the member ports is up and is in the channeling state. The port channel is operationally down when all member ports are operationally down.
When you add an interface to a port channel group, the following compatibility checks are made before allowing the interface to participate in the port channel:
•Network layer
•(Link) speed capability
•Speed configuration
•Duplex capability
•Duplex configuration
•Port mode
•Access VLAN
•Trunk native VLAN
•Tagged or untagged
•Allowed VLAN list
•MTU size
•SPAN—cannot be a SPAN source or a destination port
•Storm control
To view the full list of compatibility checks performed by the Cisco Nexus 1000V, use the show port-channel compatibility-parameters.
You can only add interfaces configured with the channel mode set to on to static port channels. You can configure these attributes on an individual member port. If you configure a member port with an incompatible attribute, the Cisco Nexus 1000V suspends that port in the port channel.
Alternatively, you can force ports with incompatible parameters to join the port channel if the following parameters are the same:
•(Link) speed capability
•Speed configuration
•Duplex capability
•Duplex configuration
When the interface joins a port channel, some of its individual parameters are removed and replaced with the values on the port channel as follows:
•Bandwidth
•Delay
•Extended Authentication Protocol over UDP
•VRF
•IP address (v4 and v6)
•MAC address
•Spanning Tree Protocol
•NAC
•Service policy
•Quality of Service (QoS)
•Access control lists (ACLs)
The following interface parameters remain unaffected when the interface joins or leaves a port channel:
•Description
•CDP
•MDIX
•Rate mode
•Shutdown
•SNMP trap
Note When you delete the port channel, the software sets all member interfaces as if they were removed from the port channel.
The Cisco Nexus 1000V load balances traffic across all operational interfaces in a port channel by hashing the addresses in the frame to a numerical value that selects one of the links in the channel. Port channels provide load balancing by default. Port channel load balancing uses MAC addresses, IP addresses, or Layer 4 port numbers to select the link. Port channel load balancing uses either source or destination addresses or ports, or both source and destination addresses or ports.
You can configure the load balancing mode to apply to all port channels that are configured on the entire device or on specified modules. The per-module configuration takes precedence over the load-balancing configuration for the entire device. You can configure one load balancing mode for the entire device, a different mode for specified modules, and another mode for the other specified modules. You cannot configure the load balancing method per port channel.
You can configure the type of load balancing algorithm used. You can choose the load balancing algorithm that determines which member port to select for egress traffic by looking at the fields in the frame.
Note The default load balancing method uses source MAC addresses.
You can configure one of the following methods to load balance across the port channel:
•Destination MAC address
•Source MAC address
•Source and Destination MAC address
•Destination IP address and VLAN
•Source IP address and VLAN
•Source and destination IP address and VLAN
•Destination TCP/UDP port number
•Source TCP/UDP port number
•Source and destination TCP/UDP port number
•Destination IP address and TCP/UDP port number
•Source IP address and TCP/UDP port number
•Source and destination IP address and TCP/UDP port number
•Destination IP address, TCP/UDP port number, and VLAN
•Source IP address, TCP/UDP port number, and VLAN
•Source and destination IP address, TCP/UDP port number, and VLAN
•Destination IP address
•Source IP address
•Source and Destination IP address
•VLAN only
•Source Virtual Port ID
When you configure source IP address load balancing, the source MAC address is used to balance the traffic load. When you configure the destination MAC address load balancing method, the traffic load is balanced using the destination MAC address.
The load balancing methods that use port channels do not apply to multicast traffic. Regardless of the method configured, multicast traffic uses the following methods for load balancing with port channels:
•Multicast traffic with Layer 4 information—Source IP address, source port, destination IP address, and destination port
•Multicast traffic without Layer 4 information—Source IP address and destination IP address
•Non-IP multicast traffic—Source MAC address and destination MAC address
To configure port channel load balancing, see the "Configuring Port Channel Load Balancing" procedure.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) lets you configure up to 16 interfaces into a port channel. A maximum of eight interfaces can be active, and a maximum of eight interfaces can be placed in a standby state. Figure 5-1 shows how individual links can be combined into LACP port channels and channel groups as well as function as individual links.
On the Cisco Nexus 1000V, LACP is enabled globally by default.
Note When you delete the port channel, the associated channel group is automatically deleted. All member interfaces revert to their original configuration.
This section includes the following topics:
•LACP-Enabled and Static Port Channels Differences
Figure 5-1 Individual Links Combined into a Port Channel
Individual interfaces in port channels are configured with channel modes. When you run static port channels with no aggregation protocol, the channel mode is always set to on.
You enable LACP for each channel by setting the channel mode for each interface to active or passive. You can configure either channel mode for individual links in the LACP channel group when you are adding the links to the channel group.
Table 5-1 describes the channel modes.
Both the passive and active modes allow LACP to negotiate between ports to determine if they can form a port channel based on criteria such as the port speed and the trunking state.The passive mode is useful when you do not know whether the remote system, or partner, supports LACP.
Ports can form an LACP port channel when they are in different LACP modes if the modes are compatible as in the following examples:
•A port in active mode can form a port channel successfully with another port that is in active mode.
•A port in active mode can form a port channel with another port in passive mode.
•A port in passive mode cannot form a port channel with another port that is also in passive mode, because neither port will initiate negotiation.
•A port in on mode is not running LACP and cannot form a port channel with another port that is in active or passive mode.
This section describes the LACP parameters in the following topics:
Each system that runs LACP has an LACP system priority value. You can accept the default value of 32768 for this parameter, or you can configure a value between 1 and 65535. LACP uses the system priority with the MAC address to form the system ID and also uses the system priority during negotiation with other devices. A higher system priority value means a lower priority.
Note The LACP system ID is the combination of the LACP system priority value and the MAC address.
Each port that is configured to use LACP has an LACP port priority. You can accept the default value of 32768 for the LACP port priority, or you can configure a value between 1 and 65535. LACP uses the port priority with the port number to form the port identifier.
LACP uses the port priority to decide which ports should be put in standby mode when there is a limitation that prevents all compatible ports from aggregating and which ports should be put into active mode. A higher port priority value means a lower priority for LACP. You can configure the port priority so that specified ports have a lower priority for LACP and are most likely to be chosen as active links, rather than hot-standby links.
LACP automatically configures an administrative key value that is equal to the channel-group number on each port configured to use LACP. The administrative key defines the ability of a port to aggregate with other ports. A port's ability to aggregate with other ports is determined by these factors:
•Port physical characteristics, such as the data rate and the duplex capability
•Configuration restrictions that you establish
You can dynamically redistribute the data traffic by using port channels. This redistribution may result from a removed or added link or a change in the load-balancing scheme. Traffic redistribution that occurs in the middle of a traffic flow can cause misordered frames.
LACP uses the Marker Protocol to ensure that frames are not duplicated or reordered due to this redistribution. The Marker Protocol detects when all the frames of a given traffic flow are successfully received at the remote end. LACP sends Marker PDUs on each of the port-channel links. The remote system responds to the Marker PDU once it receives all the frames received on this link prior to the Marker PDU. The remote system then sends a Marker Responder. Once the Marker Responders are received by the local system on all member links of the port channel, the local system can redistribute the frames in the traffic flow with no chance of misordering. The software supports only Marker Responders.
Table 5-2 summarizes the major differences between port channels with LACP enabled and static port channels.
Virtual port channel in host mode (vPC-HM) allows member ports in a port channel to connect to multiple upstream switches. With vPC-HM, ports are grouped into subgroups (0-31) for traffic separation.
As shown in Figure 5-2, for traffic separation using vPC-HM, member ports 1 and 2 are assigned to subgroup ID 0 and member ports 3 and 4 are assigned to subgroup ID 1.
Figure 5-2 Using vPC-HM to Connect a Port Channel to Multiple Upstream Switches
To configure an interface in vPC-HM, see the "Configuring a Port Channel that Connects to Multiple Upstream Switches" section.
vPC-HM can also be configured on a port profile. For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V Port Profile Configuration Guide, Release 4.0(4)SV1(2).
See the "Subgroup Creation Using CDP or Manual Method" section and the "Interface Assignment Using Static Pinning" section to learn how subgroups are created and how interfaces are assigned.
If Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is enabled on the upstream switches, then the subgroups can be automatically created using CDP information. If CDP is not enabled on the upstream switches, then you must manually create subgroups by assigning subgroup IDs to the Ethernet interfaces.
You configure this setting as part of the port channel configuration. For more information, see the "Configuring a Port Channel that Connects to Multiple Upstream Switches" section.
Static pinning allows you to assign (or pin) a vEthernet interface to a particular subgroup of a vPC-HM. This assignment allows traffic from the vEthernet interface to be forwarded only through the member ports in the subgroup. This feature assumes that you have manually configured subgroup IDs for the port members of the port channel.
To pin a vEthernet interface to a specific port channel subgroup, see the "Configuring Static Pinning" section.
You can also pin vEthernet interfaces to subgroups in port profile configuration mode. For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V Port Profile Configuration Guide, Release 4.0(4)SV1(2).
Port channels provide high availability by load balancing traffic across multiple ports. If a physical port fails, the port channel is still operational if there is an active member in the port channel.
Port channels support stateful and stateless restarts. A stateful restart occurs on a supervisor switchover. After the switchover, the Cisco Nexus 1000V applies the runtime configuration after the switchover.
Port channeling has the following prerequisites:
•You are logged into the Cisco Nexus 1000V in EXEC mode.
•All ports for a single port channel must meet the compatibility requirements. See the "Compatibility Checks" section for more information about the compatibility requirements.
•You can use virtual vPC-HM to configure a port channel even when the physical ports are connected to two different switches.
Port channeling has the following guidelines and restrictions:
•Port channels across modules are not supported.
•Port channels can be formed with multiple upstream links only when they satisfy the compatibility requirements and under the following conditions:
–The uplinks from the host are going to the same upstream switch.
–The uplinks from the host going to multiple upstream switches are configured with vPC-HM.
•You can configure port channels using a port profile. For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V Port Profile Configuration Guide, Release 4.0(4)SV1(2).
•You can configure up to 256 port channels,
•You can configure multiple port channels on a device.
•After you configure a port channel, the configuration that you apply to the port channel interface affects the port channel member ports. The configuration that you apply to the member ports affects only the member port where you apply the configuration.
•You must remove the port security information from a port before you can add that port to a port channel. Similarly, you cannot apply the port security configuration to a port that is a member of a channel group.
•You can configure ports that belong to a port channel group as PVLAN ports.
•All ports in the port channel must be in the same Cisco Nexus 1000V module; you cannot configure port channels across Cisco Nexus 1000V modules.
•Any configuration changes that you apply to the port channel is applied to every member interface of that port channel.
•Channel member ports cannot be a source or destination SPAN port.
•In order to support LACP when inband/AIPC are also carried over the link, you must configure the following commands on the ports connected to the ESX host:
–spanning-tree portfast trunk
–spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
Note If you have a separate dedicated NIC for control traffic, these settings are not required.
•There should be at least two links that connect two switches when inband/AIPC are also carried over the LACP channel.
The following table lists the default settings for port channels.

Use this procedure to configure a port channel whose member ports connect to a single upstream switch. If the member ports connect to multiple upstream switches, see the "Configuring a Port Channel that Connects to Multiple Upstream Switches" section.
Before beginning this procedure, you must know or do the following:
•You are logged in to the CLI in EXEC mode.
•When you create a port channel, an associated channel group is automatically created.
1. config t
2. interface port-channel channel-number
3. show port-channel summary
4. copy running-config startup-config
The following example shows how to create a port channel:
n1000v# config t
n1000v(config)# interface port-channel 1
Use this procedure to configure a port channel in virtual port channel host mode (vPC-HM).
If the member ports connect to a single upstream switch, see the "Configuring a Port Channel that Connects to a Single Upstream Switch" section.
Before beginning this procedure, you must know or do the following:
•You are logged in to the CLI in EXEC mode.
•In vPC-HM, the port channel member ports connect to multiple upstream switches, and the traffic must be managed in separate subgroups.
•When you create a port channel, an associated channel group is automatically created.
•vPC-HM is only supported in port channels configured in the on mode. vPC-HM is not supported for LACP channels that use the active and passive modes.
•You need to know whether CDP is configured in the upstream switches. If configured, then CDP creates a subgroup for each upstream switch to manage its traffic separately. If not configured, then you must manually configure subgroups to manage the traffic flow on the separate switches.
•If you are using CDP with the default CDP timer (60 seconds), links that advertise that they are in service and then out of service in quick succession can take up to 60 seconds to be returned to service.
•If any subgroup has more than one member port, you must configure a port channel for the member ports of each subgroup on the upstream switch.
•If vPC-HM is not configured when port channels connect to multiple upstream switches, then the VMs behind the Cisco Nexus 1000V receive duplicate packets from the network for unknown unicast floods, multicast floods, and broadcasts.
•The sub-group command used in this procedure overrides any subgroup configuration specified in the port profile inherited by the port channel interface.
•You can also configure vPC-HM on the port profile. For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V Port Profile Configuration Guide, Release 4.0(4)SV1(2).

Places you into the global configuration Mode. |
Step 2 |
interface port-channel channel-number
Example: n1000v(config)# interface port-channel 12 n1000v(config-if)# |
Places you into the interface configuration mode for the specified port channel. •channel-number: The range is from 1 to 4096. If the channel group does not already exist, it is automatically created as a port channel group whose member ports all connect to the same upstream switch. |
Step 3 |
Do one of the following: •sub-group cdp •sub-group manual
Example: n1000v(config-if)# sub-group cdp
Example: n1000v(config-if)# sub-group manual
|
The sub-group cdp command identifies the port channel as being in vPC-HM and configures CDP as the information used to automatically create subgroups for managing the traffic flow. Proceed to Step 8. The sub-group manual command identifies the port channel as being in vPC-HM and sets the configuration method to manual. This method is used if CDP is not configured on the upstream switch(es). Proceed to the next step. Note These commands overrides any subgroup configuration specified in the port-profile inherited by the port channel interface. |
Step 4 |
exit Example: n1000v(config-if)# exit n1000v(config)# e |
Exits Interface Configuration mode and returns you to Configuration mode. |
Step 5 |
interface ethernet range
Example: n1000v(config)# interface ethernet 3/2-3 n1000v(config-if)# |
Places you into interface configuration mode for the specified interface range. |
Step 6 |
sub-group-id number
Example: n1000v(config-if)# sub-group-id 0
|
Configures the specified port channel members as vPC-HM so that the specified subgoup can manage traffic for one of the two upstream switches. For number, the range is from 0 to 31. |
Step 7 |
Repeat Step 5 and Step 6 for each port member connected to an upstream switch that is not configured for CDP. |

Example: n1000v(config-if)# show running-config interface ethernet 3/2-3 |
(Optional) Displays the subgroup ID configuration. |
Step 10 |
copy running-config startup-config
Example: n1000v(config-if)# copy running-config startup-config |
(Optional) Saves the running configuration persistently through reboots and restarts by copying it to the startup configuration. |
