DCI Configuration Mode Commands
Data center interconnect (DCI) configuration mode commands allow you to create the local Nexus device and configure its attributes for the dynamic workload scaling (DWS) feature. To create a local Nexus device and access DCI configuration mode, use the nexus-device command in configuration mode. The CLI prompt changes to (config-dci). For information about the commands in DCI configuration mode, see the commands in this section.
Use the no form of this command to remove the Nexus device from the configuration.
