Cisco NX-OS Interfaces Commands


This chapter describes the Cisco NX-OS interfaces commands.

bandwidth (interface)

To set the inherited and received bandwidth values for an interface, use the bandwidth command in interface configuration mode. To restore the default values, use the no form of this command.

bandwidth {kbps | inherit [kbps]}

no bandwidth {kbps | inherit [kbps]}

Syntax Description

kbps

Intended bandwidth, in kilobits per second. Valid values are 1 to 10000000.

inherit

(Optional) Specifies the inherited bandwidth such as how a subinterface inherits the bandwidth of its main interface.


Defaults

1000000 kbps

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Supported User Roles

network-admin
vdc-admin

Command History

Release
Modification

4.0

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The bandwidth command sets an informational parameter to communicate only the current bandwidth to the higher-level protocols; you cannot adjust the actual bandwidth of an interface using this command.


Note This is a routing parameter only. It does not affect the physical interface.


The bandwidth inherit command controls how a subinterface inherits the bandwidth of its main interface.

The no bandwidth inherit command enables all subinterfaces to inherit the default bandwidth of the main interface, regardless of the configured bandwidth. If a bandwidth is not configured on a subinterface, and you use the bandwidth inherit command, all subinterfaces will inherit the current bandwidth of the main interface. If you configure a new bandwidth on the main interface, all subinterfaces will use this new value.

If you do not configure a bandwidth on the subinterface and you configure the bandwidth inherit command on the main interface, the subinterfaces will inherit the specified bandwidth.

In all cases, if an interface has an explicit bandwidth setting configured, then that interface will use that setting, regardless of whether the bandwidth inheritance setting is in effect.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure all subinterfaces off this main interface to inherit the configured bandwidth:

switch(config-if)# bandwidth inherit 30000

Related Commands

Command
Description

show interface

Displays the interface configuration information.


beacon

To enable the beacon mode for an interface, use the beacon command. To disable the beacon mode for an interface, use the no form of this command.

beacon

no beacon

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

Disabled

Command Modes

Supported User Roles

network-admin
vdc-admin

Command History

Release
Modification

4.0

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The beacon mode allows you to identify a physical port by flashing its link-state LED with a green light. To identify the physical port for an interface, you activate the beacon parameter for the interface.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to enable the beacon mode for the Ethernet port 3/1:

switch(config)# interface ethernet 3/1
switch(config-if)# beacon
switch(config-if)#

Related Commands

Command
Description

show interface

Displays the interface status, which includes the beacon mode state.


carrier-delay

To set the carrier delay on an interface, use the carrier-delay command. To return to the default carrier delay value, use the no form of this command.

carrier-delay {sec | {msec value}}

no carrier-delay

Syntax Description

sec

Seconds of delay. The range of values is from 0 to 60.

value

Milliseconds of delay. The range of values is from 0 to 1000.


Defaults

The default is 2 seconds or 100 milliseconds.

Command Modes

Interface

Supported User Roles

network-admin

vdc-admin

Command History

Release
Modification

4.0(3)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines


Note You must enable the VLAN interface feature, using the feature interface-vlan command, before you can use this command.


If a link goes down and comes back up before the carrier delay timer expires, the down state is effectively filtered, and the rest of the software on the device is not aware that a link-down event occurred. A large carrier delay timer results in fewer link-up/link-down events being detected. When you set the carrier delay time to 0, the device detects each link-up/link-down event that occurs.


Note The carrier-delay command is supported only on the VLAN interface mode; no other interface modes support this command.


In most environments, a lower carrier delay time is better than a higher one. The exact value that you choose depends on the nature of the link outages and how long you expect these linkages to last in your network. If your data links are subject to short outages (especially if those outages last less time than it takes for your IP routing to converge) you should set a long carrier delay value to prevent these short outages from causing unnecessary churn in your routing tables. However, if you outages tend to be longer, then you may want to set a shorter carrier delay time so that the outages are detected sooner, and the IP route convergence begins and ends sooner.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to set the carrier delay timer to 20 minutes for VLAN 6:

switch(config)# interface vlan 6
switch(config-if)# carrier-delay 20
switch(config-if)#

Related Commands

Command
Description

show interface vlan

Displays information about VLAN interfaces.


channel-group

To assign and configure a physical interface to a port-channel group, use the channel-group command. To remove the channel-group configuration from the interface, use the no form of this command.

channel-group number [force] [mode {active | on | passive}]

no channel-group [number]

Syntax Description

number

Number of channel group. Maximum number of port channels that can be configured is 256 across all VDCs, and the range of values is from 1 to 4096.

force

Forces the interface to join the channel group, although some parameters are not compatible. See Usage Guidelines below for information on the compatibility parameters and which ones can be forced.

mode

Specifies the port-channel mode of the interface.

on

This is the default channel mode, and all port channels that are not running LACP remain in this mode. If you attempt to change the channel mode to active or passive before enabling LACP, the device returns an error message.
After you enable LACP globally, by using the feature lacp command, you enable LACP on each channel by configuring the channel mode as either active or passive. An interface in this mode does not initiate or respond to LACP packets. When an LACP attempts to negotiate with an interface in the on state, it does not receive any LACP packets and becomes an individual link with that interface; it does not join the channel group.

The default mode is on.

active

Specifies that when you enable the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), this command enables LACP on the specified interface. Interface is in active negotiating state, in which the port initiates negotiations with other ports by sending LACP packets.

passive

Specifies that when you enable LACP, this command enables LACP only if an LACP device is detected.The interface is in a passive negotiation state, in which the port responds to LACP packets that it receives but does not initiate LACP negotiation.


Defaults

None

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Supported User Roles

network-admin

vdc-admin

Command History

Release
Modification

4.0

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command to create a channel group that includes the interface that you are working on and to add or remove specific interfaces from the channel group. Use this command to move a port from one channel group to another. You enter the channel group that you want the port to move to; the device automatically removes the specified from its present channel group and adds that port to the specified channel group.

After you enable LACP globally, by using the feature lacp command, you enable LACP on each channel by configuring the channel mode as either active or passive. A port channel in the on channel mode is a pure port channel and can aggregate a maximum of eight ports. It does not run LACP.

You cannot change the mode for an existing port channel or any of its interfaces if that port channel is not running LACP; the channel mode remains as on. The system returns an error message if you try.

All ports in one port channel must be in the same virtual device context (VDC). With LACP enabled, this requirement applies to the possible eight active ports and the possible eight standby ports. The port channels can originate in one VDC (with all ports in that channel in the same VDC) and partner with a port channel in another VDC (again, all ports in that channel must be in that VDC).

Use the no form of this command to remove the physical interface from the port channel. When you delete the last physical interface from a port channel, the port channel remains. To delete the port channel completely, use the no form of this interface port-channel command.

The compatibility check includes the following operational attributes:

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 SPAN source or destination port

Layer 3 ports cannot have subinterfaces.

Storm control

Flow control capability

Flow control configuration

Use the show port-channel compatibility-parameters command to see the full list of compatibility checks that the Cisco NX-OS uses.

You can only add interfaces configured with the channel mode set to on to static port channels, that is without a configured aggregation protocol. And you can only add interfaces configured with the channel mode as active or passive to port channels that are running LACP.

You can configure these attributes on an individual member port. If you configure a member port with an incompatible attribute, Cisco NX-OS suspends that port in the port channel.

Alternatively, you can force ports with incompatible parameters to join the port channel as long the following parameters are the same:

(Link) speed capability

Speed configuration

Duplex capability

Duplex configuration

Flow control capability

Flow control 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)

ACLs

Also, many interface parameters remain unaffected with the interface joins or leaves a port channel, as follows:

Beacon

Description

CDP

LACP port priority

Debounce

UDLD

MDIX

Rate mode

Shutdown

SNMP trap

If subinterfaces are configured for the port-channel interface and a member port is removed from the port channel, the configuration of the port-channel subinterface is not propagated to the member ports.

Any configuration changes that you make in any of the compatibility parameters to the port-channel interface are propagated to all interfaces within the same channel group as the port channel (for example, configuration changes are also propagated to the physical interfaces that are not part of the port channel but are part of the channel group).

You do not have to create a port-channel interface before you assign a physical interface to a channel group. A port-channel interface is created automatically when the channel group gets its first physical interface, if it is not already created.

You can create either a Layer 2 or a Layer 3 port channel by entering the interface port-channel command or when the channel group gets its first physical interface assignment. The port channels are not created at run time or dynamically.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to add an interface to LACP channel group 5 in active mode:

switch(config-if)# channel-group 5 mode active
switch(config-if)#

This example shows how to clear the statistics for vPC 10:

switch(config)# clear vpc statistics vpc 10
switch(config) # 

Related Commands

Command
Description

show vpc statistics

Displays vPC statistical information on vPCs. If the feature is not enabled, the system displays an error when you enter this command.


delay

To configure the interface throughput delay for Ethernet interfaces, use the delay command. To remove the configured throughput delay, use the no form of this command.

delay value

no delay

Syntax Description

value

Specify the delay time in tens of microseconds. You can set an informational value range between 1 and 16777215 tens of microseconds.


Command Default

10 microseconds for all interfaces except loopback ports

5000 microseconds for loopback ports

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Supported User Roles

network-admin
vdc-admin

Command History

Release
Modification

4.0

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 4.2(1) for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series devices, the default delay values are changed. Prior to this release, all the default delay value for all interfaces was 100 microseconds.


Note After upgrading from an older release, when you enter the show running command on a VLAN interface, the display shows an additional configuration of delay 100. If you want to revert the delay value to the new default, enter the no delay command for that VLAN interface.


Specifying a value for the throughput delay provides a value for use by Layer 3 protocols; it does not change the actual throughput delay of an interface.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the throughput-delay time to 100,000 microseconds for the slot 3 port 1 Ethernet interface:

switch(config)# interface ethernet 3/1
switch(config-if)# delay 10000

Related Commands

Command
Description

show interface

Displays information about the interface, which includes the delay parameter.


delay restore

To delay the vPC coming up on the restored vPC peer device after a reload and after the peer adjacency is established and the VLAN interfaces are back up, use the delay restore command. To return to the default value, use the no form of the command.

delay restore seconds

no delay restore seconds

Syntax Description

seconds

Seconds to delay bringing up the restored vPC peer device. The range is from 1 to 3600.


Defaults

30 seconds

Command Modes

vpc-domain command mode.

Supported User Roles

network-admin
vdc-admin

Command History

Release
Modification

4.2(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use the delay restore command to avoid upstream traffic from the access device to the core from being dropped when you restore the vPC peer devices. Sometimes, the restored vPCs may come up before the routing tables are converged, and you may see packet drops.

The delay restore command delays bringing up the vPC after the peer adjacency has formed and VLAN interface are up on the restored device after a reload to let the routing protocols converge.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the delay reload:

switch# config t 
switch(config)# vpc domain 5
switch(config-vpc-domain)# delay restore 40

Related Commands

Command
Description

dual-active exclude interface-vlan

To ensure that certain VLAN interfaces are not shut down on the virtual port-channel (vPC) secondary peer device when the vPC peer link fails for those VLANs carried on the vPC peer link but not on the vPC configuration itself, use the dual-active exclude interface-vlan command. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

dual-active exclude interface-vlan {range}

no dual-active exclude interface-vlan {range}

Syntax Description

range

Range of VLAN interfaces that you want to exclude from shutting down. The range is 1 to 4094.


Command Default

None

Command Modes

vpc-domain configuration

Supported User Roles

network-admin
vdc-admin

Command History

Release
Modification

4.2(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use the dual-active exclude interface-vlan command to ensure that those VLAN interfaces on the vPC secondary peer device that are carried on the vPC peer link but not by the vPC configuration itself do not go down if the vPC peer link fails. The VLAN interfaces must have already been configured.


Note We do not recommend configuring an interface-VLAN exclude for a VLAN carried on a vPC because this may cause packed losses on dual-active devices if the interface-VLAN still attracts Layer 3 traffic while the vPC primary device and the vPC peer link are down.


This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the device to keep the VLAN interfaces up on the vPC peer devices if the peer link fails:

switch# config t 
switch(config)# vpc-domain 5
switch(config-vpc-domain)# dual-active exclude interface-vlan 10

Related Commands

Command
Description

vpc-domain

Configures a vPC domain and enters the vpc-domain configuration mode.


duplex

To specify the duplex mode as full, half, or autonegotiate, use the duplex command. To return the system to default mode, use the no form of this command.

duplex {full | half | auto}

no duplex {full | half | auto}

Syntax Description

full

Specify the duplex mode as full.

half

Specify the duplex mode as half.

auto

Specify the duplex mode as autonegotiate.


Command Default

None

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Supported User Roles

network-admin
vdc-admin

Command History

Release
Modification

4.0

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The interface speed that you specify can affect the duplex mode used for an interface, so you should set the speed before setting the duplex mode. If you set the speed for autonegotiation, the duplex mode is automatically set to be autonegotiated. If you specify 10- or 100-Mbps speed, the port is automatically configured to use half-duplex mode, but you can specify full-duplex mode instead. Gigabit Ethernet is full duplex only. You cannot change the duplex mode on Gigabit Ethernet ports or on a 10/100/1000-Mbps port that is set for Gigabit Ethernet.

See the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide for more information on interface speed and duplex settings.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to specify the duplex mode for full-duplex:

switch(config-if)# duplex full

Related Commands

Command
Description

show interface

Displays information about the interface, which includes the duplex parameter.


encapsulation dot1Q

To enable IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation of traffic on a specified subinterface in a virtual LAN (VLAN), use the encapsulation dot1q command in subinterface configuration mode. To disable encapsulation, use the no form of this command.

encapsulation dot1Q vlan-id

no encapsulation dot1Q vlan-id

Syntax Description

vlan-id

VLAN to set when the interface is in access mode; valid values are from 1 to 4094, except for the VLANs reserved for internal switch use.


Defaults

No encapsulation

Modification

4.0

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation is configurable on Ethernet interfaces. IEEE 802.1Q is a standard protocol for interconnecting multiple switches and routers and for defining VLAN topologies.

Use the encapsulation dot1q command in subinterface range configuration mode to apply a VLAN ID to the subinterface.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to enable dot1Q encapsulation on a subinterface for VLAN 30:

switch(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 30

Related Commands

Command
Description

show vlan dot1Q

Displays dot1Q encapsulation information for a VLAN.


errdisable detect cause

To enable error-disabled (errdisable) detection for an application, use the errdisable detect cause command. To return to the default setting, use the no version of this command.

errdisable detect cause {acl-exception | all | link-flap | loopback}

no errdisable detect cause {acl-exception | all | link-flap | loopback}

Syntax Description

acl-
exception

Enables error-disabled detection for access-list installation failures.

Modification

4.0

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use the errdisable detect cause command to enable error detection for an application.

A cause is defined as the reason why the error-disabled state occurred. When a cause is detected on an interface, the interface is placed in an error-disabled state. This error-disabled state is an operational state that is similar to the link-down state. You must enter the shutdown command and then the no shutdown command to recover an interface manually from the error-disabled state.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to enable error-disabled detection on all cases:

switch(config)# errdisable detect cause all

Related Commands

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use the flowcontrol command to enable or disable the ability of the Ethernet port to send and receive flow-control pause frames.

Make sure that the remote port has the corresponding setting for the flow control that you need. If you want the local port to send flow-control pause frames, the remote port has a receive parameter set to on or desired. If you want the local port to receive flow-control frames, you must make sure that the remote port has a send parameter set to on or desired. If you do not want to use flow control, you can set the remote port's send and receive parameters to off.

For Ethernet ports that run at 1 Gbps or faster, you can enable or disable the port's ability to send and receive flow-control pause frames. For Ethernet ports that run slower than 1 Gbps, you can enable or disable only the port's ability to receive pause frames.

When enabling flow control for the local port, you either fully enable the local port to send or receive frames regardless of the flow-control setting of the remote port, or you set the local port to use the desired setting used by the remote port. If you enable both the local and remote ports for flow control, or set the desired flow control of the other port, or set a combination of those two states, flow control is enabled for those ports.


Note For ports that run at 10 Gbps, you cannot use the desired state for the send or receive parameter.


To see how the different port flow-control states affect the link flow-control state, see Table 1.

Modification

4.2(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use the inherit port-profile command to do the following:

Assign the port profile to a specified interface or range of specified interfaces. You do this in the interface configuration mode. The maximum number of interfaces that can inherit a single profile is 512.

Inherit configuration parameters from another port profile onto an existing port profile. You do this in the port-profile mode, using the name of the port profile that you want to inherit configurations into. Only port profiles of the same type can be inherited by another port profile. The device supports four levels of inheritance except for the switchport private-vlan mapping and the private-vlan mapping commands, which support only one inheritance level. The same port profile can be inherited by any number of port profiles. In a port-profile inheritance hierarchy, all the profiles must have the same switchport configuration.

See the port-profile command and the state-enabled command for information about creating, configuring, and enabling port profiles.

If you attempt to inherit a port profile to the wrong type of interface, the system returns an error.

When you remove a port profile from a range of interfaces, the system undoes the configuration from the interfaces first and then removes the port-profile link itself. Also, when you remove a port profile, the system checks the interface configuration and either skips port-profiles commands that have been overridden by directly entered interface commands or returns the command to the default value.

You can also choose a subset of interfaces from which to remove a port profile from those interfaces to which you originally applied the profile. For example, if you configured a port profile and configured 10 interfaces to inherit that port profile, you can remove the port profile from just some of the specified 10 interfaces. The port profile continues to operate on the remaining interfaces to which it is applied.

You use the port-profile configuration mode to remove an inherited port profile from an original port profile.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to assign a specified port profile to a range of interfaces:

switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1-10
switch(config-if)# port-profile test

This example shows how to inherit the configuration parameters from the port profile named switch onto the port profile named test:

Usage Guidelines

Use the interface port-channel command to create or delete port-channel groups and to enter the interface configuration mode for the port channel.

You can create port channels implicitly using the bandwidth (interface) command or explicitly using the feature tunnel command.

A port can belong to only one channel group.

You can create subinterfaces on a Layer 3 port-channel interface. However, you cannot add a Layer 3 interface that has existing subinterfaces to a port channel.


Note The Layer 3 port-channel interface is the routed interface.


The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) system ID is unique for each VDC, and channel-group numbers and names can be re-used in different VDCs.

When you use the interface port-channel command, follow these guidelines:

If you are using CDP, you must configure it only on the physical interface and not on the port-channel interface.

If you do not assign a static MAC address on the port-channel interface, a MAC address is automatically assigned. If you assign a static MAC address and then later remove it, the MAC address is automatically assigned.

The MAC address of the port channel is the address of the first operational port added to the channel group. If this first-added port is removed from the channel, the MAC address comes from the next operational port added, if there is one.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to create a port-channel group interface with channel-group number 50:

switch(config)# interface port-channel 50

Usage Guidelines

Use the mtu size command to configure the MTU size for Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces.

For Layer 3 interfaces, you can configure the MTU to be between 576 and 9216 bytes (even values are required). For Layer 2 interfaces, you can configure the MTU to be either the system default MTU (1500 bytes) or the system jumbo MTU size (which has the default size of 9216 bytes).


Note You can change the system jumbo MTU size, but if you change that value, you should also update the Layer 2 interfaces that use that value so that they use the new system jumbo MTU value. If you do not update the MTU value for Layer 2 interfaces, those interfaces will use the system default MTU (1500 bytes).


This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the Layer 2 Ethernet port 3/1 with the default MTU size (1500):

switch# config t 
switch(config)# interface ethernet 3/1
switch(config-if)# mtu 1500

peer-keepalive destination

To configure the virtual port-channel (vPC) peer-keepalive link and message between vPC peer devices, use the peer-keepalive destination command.

peer-keepalive destination ipaddress

[hold-timeout secs]

[interval msecs {timeout secs}

[{precedence {prec-value | network | internet | critical | flash-override | flash | immediate | priority | routine}} | {tos {tos-value | max-reliability | max-throughput | min-delay | min-monetary-cost | normal}} | tos-byte tos-byte-value]

[source ipaddress]

[udp-port number]

[vrf {name | management | vpc-keepalive}]

Syntax Description

ipaddress

IP address of the remote vPC peer device.

Note Must be an IPv4 address.

hold-timeout

(Optional) When peer-keepalive link goes down, the secondary vPC peer device waits this interval. The range is 3 to 10 seconds.

During the hold-timeout, the vPC secondary device does not take any action based on any keepalive messages received. This is to prevent the system taking action when the keepalive might be received just temporarily, such as if a supervisor fails a few seconds after the peer link goes down.

secs

(Optional) Variable in seconds.

interval

Number of milliseconds that you want between sending keepalive messages to the remote vPC peer device. This variable configures the interval between sending peer-keepalive messages to the remote vPC peer device and the maximum period to wait to receive a keepalive message from the remote vPC peer device. The range is between 400 to 10,000 milliseconds.

msecs

(Optional) Variable in milliseconds.

timeout

(Optional) Timeout timer starts at the end of the hold-timeout interval. During the timeout period, the secondary vPC peer device checks for vPC peer-keepalive hello messages from the primary vPC peer device. If the secondary vPC peer device receives a single hello message, that device disables all vPC interfaces on the secondary vPC peer device. The range is between 3 and 20 seconds.

During the timeout, the vPC secondary device takes action to become the vPC primary device if no keepalive message is received by the end of the configured interval.

precedence

(Optional) Precedence value for the peer-keepalive message. Valid values are:

0 to 7

network (7)

internet (6)

critical (5)

flash-override (4)

flash (3)

immediate (2)

priority (1)

routine (0)

tos

(Optional) Precedence, or TOS value, for the peer-keepalive message. Valid values are:

0, 1, 2, 4, 8

max-reliability (2)

max-throughput (4)

min-delay (8)

min-monetary-cost (1)

normal (0)

Note The only valid values are shown here.

tos-byte

(Optional) Precedence, or 8-bit TOS value, for the peer-keepalive message. The higher the numerical value, the higher throughput priority. The range is from 0 to 255.

source

(Optional) IP address of the local vPC peer device.

Note Must be an IPv4 address.

number

(Optional) Number of the UDP port to send and receive the vPC peer-keepalive messages. The range is from 1024 to 6500.

name

(Optional) Name of VRF that you want to use for the vPC peer-keepalive link and messages.


.

Defaults

Peer-keepalive is disabled.

Hold-timeout is 3 seconds.

Interval is 1000 milliseconds.

Timeout is 5 seconds.

Precedence is default, with a level of 6 (internet).

UDP port is 3200.

VRF is management VRF.

4.1(3)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You must enable the vPC feature before you can configure the peer-keepalive parameters. The vPC keepalive messages notify the system if one of the vPC peer devices goes down.


Note You must configure the peer-keepalive messages on each of the vPC peer devices to enable the functionality.


Although the keepalive messages can transmit over any Layer 3 topology, we recommend that you create and configure a separate VRF with Layer 3 ports on each vPC peer device as the source and destination for the vPC keepalive messages. The default ports and VRF for the peer-alive link are the management ports and the management VRF. Do not use the peer link itself for the vPC peer-keepalive messages.


Note Ensure that both the source and destination IP addresses used for the peer-keepalive messages are unique in your network.


The vPC keepalive messages are IP/UDP messages.

This command accepts only IPv4 addresses.


Note You must configure the peer-keepalive messages on each of the vPC peer devices to enable the functionality.


The device assumes that its vPC peer device is down when the device does not receive any messages from the peer during the timeout period. We recommend that you configure the timeout value to be three times the interval value.

You can configure either the precedence, tos, or tos-byte value to ensure throughput for the vPC peer-keepalive message.


Note We recommend that you create a separate VRF and assign a Layer 3 port on each vPC peer device for the peer-keepalive link.


This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the IP address of the remote vPC peer device for the fault-tolerant link:

switch(config-vpc-domain)# peer-keepalive destination 172.28.231.85

port-channel load-balance ethernet

To set the load-balancing method among the interfaces in the channel-group bundle, use the port-channel load-balance ethernet command. To return the system priority to the default value, use the no form of this command.

port-channel load-balance ethernet method [module slot]

no port-channel load-balance ethernet [method [module slot]]

Syntax Description

method

Load-balancing method. See the "Usage Guidelines" section for a list of valid values.

module slot

(Optional) Specifies the module slot number.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When you do not specify a module, you are configuring load balancing for the entire device. When you use the module parameter, you are configuring load balancing for the specified modules

Valid method values are as follows:

dest-ip-port—Loads distribution on the destination IP address and port.

dest-ip-port-vlan—Loads distribution on the destination IP address, port, and VLAN.

destination-ip-vlan—Loads distribution on the destination IP address and VLAN.

destination-mac—Loads distribution on the destination MAC address.

destination-port—Loads distribution on the destination port.

source-dest-ip-port—Loads distribution on the source XOR-destination IP address and port.

source-dest-ip-port-vlan—Loads distribution on the source XOR-destination IP address, port, and VLAN.

source-dest-ip-vlan—Loads distribution on the source XOR-destination IP address and VLAN.

source-dest-mac—Loads distribution on the source XOR-destination MAC address.

source-dest-port—Loads distribution on the source XOR-destination port.

source-ip-port—Loads distribution on the source IP address and port.

source-ip-port-vlan—Loads distribution on the source IP address, port, and VLAN.

source-ip-vlan—Loads distribution on the source IP address and VLAN.

source-mac—Loads distribution on the source MAC address.

source-port—Loads distribution on the source port.


Note You cannot configure load balancing using port channels per VDC. You must be in the default VDC to configure this feature; if you attempt to configure this feature from another VDC, the system returns an error.


Use the module argument to configure the module independently for port-channeling and load-balancing mode. When you do this, the remaining module use the current load-balancing method configured for the entire device, or the default method if you have not configured a method for the entire device. When you enter the no argument in conjunction with a module argument, the load-balancing method for the specified module takes the current load-balancing method that is in use for the entire device. If you configured a load-balancing method for the entire device, the specified module uses that configured method, rather than the default source-dest-ip-port/source-dest-mac. The per module configuration takes precedence over the load-balancing method configured for the entire device.

You can configure one load-balancing mode for the entire device, a different mode for specified modules, and yet another mode for other specified modules. The per module configuration takes precedence over the load balancing configuration for the entire device.

Use the option that provides the balance criteria with the greatest variety in your configuration. For example, if the traffic on a port channel is going only to a single MAC address and you use the destination MAC address as the basis of port channel load balancing, the port channel always chooses the same link in that port channel; using source addresses or IP addresses might result in better load balancing.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to set the load-balancing method for the entire device to use the source port:

switch(config)# port-channel load-balance ethernet source-port

port-profile

To create a port profile and enter the port-profile configuration mode or to enter into the port-profile configuration mode of a previously created port profile, use the port-profile command. To remove the port profile, use the no form of this command.

port-profile [type {ethernet | interface-vlan | port-channel}] name

no port-profile [type {ethernet | interface-vlan | port-channel}] name

Syntax Description

type

(Optional) Specifies the type of interfaces.

Specifies Layer 2 or Layer 3 interfaces.

interface-vlan

Specifies VLAN network interfaces.

port-channel

Specifies port-channel interfaces.

4.2(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use the port-profile command to group configuration commands and apply them to several interfaces simultaneously. All interfaces in the range must be the same type. The maximum number of interfaces that can inherit a single port profile is 512.

The port-profile name must be globally unique across types and networks.

Each port profile can be applied only to a specific type of interface; the choices are as follows:

Ethernet

VLAN network interface

Port channel


Note When you choose ethernet as the interface type, the port profile is in the default mode which is Layer 3. Enter the switchport command to change the port profile to Layer 2 mode.


A subset of commands are available under the port-profile configuration mode, depending on which interface type you specify. Layer 3 and CTS commands are not supported by port profiles.

You can configure the following port-profile operations:

Create port profiles

Delete port profiles

Add commands to and delete commands from port profiles

Inherit port profiles at interfaces

Enable and disable port profiles

Inheritance between port profiles

Configure maximum number of ports that a profile can inherit

You inherit the port profile when you attach the port profile to an interface or range of interfaces. The maximum number of interfaces that can inherit a single profile is 512. When you attach, or inherit, a port profile to an interface or range of interfaces, the system applies all the commands in that port profile to the interfaces.

Additionally, you can have one port profile inherit another port profile, which allows the initial port profile to assume all of the commands of the second, inherited, port profile that do not conflict with the initial port profile. Four levels of inheritance are supported except for the switchport private-vlan mapping and private-vlan mapping commands, which support only one level of inheritance. See the inherit port-profile command for information about inheriting an additional port profile and assigning port profiles to specified interfaces.

The system applies the commands inherited by the interface or range of interfaces according to the following guidelines:

Commands that you enter under the interface mode take precedence over the port profile's commands if there is a conflict. However, the port profile retains that command in the port profile.

The port profile's commands take precedence over default commands on the interface, unless it is explicitly overridden by the default command.

When a range of interfaces inherits a second port profile, the commands of the initial port profile override those commands of the second port profile if there is a conflict.

After you inherit a port profile onto an interface or range of interfaces, you can override individual configuration values by entering the new value at the interface configuration level. If you then remove the individual configuration values at the interface configuration level, the interface again uses the values in the port profile again.

There are no default configurations associated with a port profile.


Note You cannot use port profiles with Session Manager. See the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS System Management Configuration Guide, Release 4.2 book for information on Session Manager.


If you delete a specific configuration for a specified range of interfaces using the interface configuration mode, that configuration is also deleted from the port profile for that range of interfaces only. For example, if you have a channel group inside a port profile and you are in the interface configuration mode and you delete that port channel, the specified port channel is also deleted from the port profile as well.

Just as in the device, you can enter a configuration for an object in port profiles without that object being applied to interfaces yet. For example, you can configure a virtual routing and forward instance (VRF) without it being applied to the system. If you then delete that VRF and its configurations from the port profile, the system is unaffected.

After you inherit a port profile on an interface or range of interfaces and you delete a specific configuration value, that port-profile configuration will not operate on the specified interfaces.

You must enable each specific port profile using the state-enabled command.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure, name a port profile, and enter the port-profile configuration mode:

switch(config)# port-profile type ethernet test
switch(config-ppm)#

Usage Guidelines

Use the rate-mode dedicated command to set the dedicated rate mode for the specified ports.

On a 32-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet module, each set of four ports can handle 10 gigabits per second (Gb/s) of bandwidth. You can use the rate-mode parameter to dedicate that bandwidth to the first port in the set of four ports or share the bandwidth across all four ports.


Note When you dedicate the bandwidth to one port, you must first administratively shut down the ports in the group, change the rate mode to dedicated, and then bring the dedicated port administratively up.


Table 1-2 identifies the ports that are grouped together to share each 10 Gb/s of bandwidth and which port in the group can be dedicated to utilize the entire bandwidth.

Note All ports in each port group must be part of the same virtual device context (VDC). For more information on VDCs, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Virtual Device Context Configuration Guide, Release 4.2.


When you enter the rate-mode dedicated command, the full bandwidth of 10 Gb is dedicated to one port. When you dedicate the bandwidth, all subsequent commands for the port are for dedicated mode.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the dedicated rate mode for Ethernet ports 4/17, 4/19, 4/21, and 4/23:

switch# config t 
switch(config)# interface ethernet 4/17, ethernet 4/19, ethernet 4/21, ethernet 4/23

Usage Guidelines

Use the rate-mode shared command to set the shared rate mode for the specified ports. This is the default rate mode for the module.

That is, use the rate-mode shared command to specify that each 10 Gb of bandwidth on a 32-port 10 GE Ethernet module is shared by ports in the same port group.

If the port group is in dedicated rate mode, you must first administratively shut down the ports in the group, change the rate mode to shared, and then bring the ports administratively up.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the shared rate mode for Ethernet ports 4/17, 4/19, 4/21, and 4/23:

Usage Guidelines

The LACP system ID is the combination of the configurable LACP system priority value and the MAC address.

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.

The system ID is different for each virtual device context (VDC).

This command does not require a license.

Usage Guidelines

When you add an interface to a channel group, the software checks certain interface attributes to ensure that the interface is compatible with the channel group. For example, you cannot add a Layer 3 interface to a Layer 2 channel group. The software also checks a number of operational attributes for an interface before allowing that interface to participate in the port-channel aggregation.

This command displays the list of compatibility checks that the system uses.

Using the channel-group command, you can force ports with incompatible parameters to join the port channel as long as the following parameters are the same:

(Link) speed capability

Speed configuration

Duplex capability

Duplex configuration

Flow-control capability

Flow-control configuration


Note See the channel-group command for information about forcing ports to join a port channel.


This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to display the list of compatibility checks that the system makes before an interface to a channel group:

switch# show port-channel compatibility-parameters
* port mode

are configured in AUTO port mode, they have to negotiate E mode when they
come up. If a member negotiates a different mode, it will be suspended.

* speed

Members must have the same speed configured. If they are configured in AUTO
speed, they have to negotiate the same speed when they come up. If a member
negotiates a different speed, it will be suspended.

Usage Guidelines

If the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is not enabled, the output shows NONE in the Protocol column of the display.

A channel-group interface can be in the following operational states:

Down—The interface is down because it is administratively shut down or some other reason not related to port channels.

Individual—The interface is part of a port channel but unable to aggregate into a port channel because of protocol exchange problems.

This interface continues to forward traffic as an individual link.

STP is aware of this interface.

Suspended—The operational parameters of the interface are not compatible with the port channel. This interface is not forwarding traffic, although the physical MAC link state is still up.

Switched—The interface is switched.

Up (port channel)—The port channel is up.

Up in port channel (members)—The port member of the port channel is up.

Hot standby (LACP only)—The interface is eligible to join the port group if one of the interfaces currently participating in the LACP channel goes down.

This interface does not forward data traffic, only protocol data units (PDUs).

This interface does not run STP.

Module-removed—The module has been removed.

Routed—The interface is routed.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to display summary information for the port channels:

switch# show port-channel summary

Usage Guidelines

Use the show port-profile command to display information about the configured port profiles on the device. It displays all configured port profiles.

Port profiles are not aware of default values, so the default value configuration appears in the port profiles. For example, MTU 1500 is a default value and does not appear in the running-config display of an interface. However, because port profiles are unaware of default values, MTU 1500 appears in the port-profile display.

This command does not require a license.

Usage Guidelines

Before you begin, make sure that the remote port has a speed setting that supports your changes for the local port. If you want to set the local port to use a specific speed, you must set the remote port for the same speed or set the local port to autonegotiate the speed.

The interface speed and duplex mode are interrelated, so you should configure both of their parameters at the same time.

The interface speed that you specify can affect the duplex mode used for an interface, so you should set the speed before setting the duplex mode. If you set the speed for autonegotiation, the duplex mode is automatically set to be autonegotiated. If you specify 10- or 100-Mbps speed, the port is automatically configured to use half-duplex mode, but you can specify full-duplex mode instead. If you specify a speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) or faster, full duplex is automatically used. For more details about configuring this command, see the Cisco NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to set the speed of Ethernet port 1 on the 48-port 10/100/1000 module in slot 3 to 1000 Mbps and full-duplex mode:

Usage Guidelines

You must enter the switchport command without any keywords to configure the LAN interface as a Layer 2 interface before you can enter the switchport mode command. This action is required only if you have not entered the switchport command for the interface.

If you enter access mode, the interface goes into nontrunking mode; if you enter trunk mode, the interface goes into trunking mode.

To correctly deliver the traffic on a trunk port with several VLANs, the switch uses the IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation, or tagging, method. If an access port receives a packet with an 802.1Q tag in the header, that port drops the packet without learning its MAC source address.


Note A port can function as either an access port, a trunk port, or a private VLAN port; a port cannot function as all three simultaneously.


The port will go down and reinitialize when you change the interface mode.

This command does not require a license.

Beginning with Release 4.2, if you must configure all the vPC peer links and core-facing interfaces on a single N7K-M132XP-12 module, you should configure a track object and a track list that is associated with the Layer 3 link to the core and on all vPC peer links on both vPC peer devices. You can use this configuration to avoid dropping traffic if that particular module goes down because when all the tracked objects on the track list go down, the system does the following:

Stops the vPC primary peer device sending peer-keepalive messages which forces the vPC secondary peer device to take over.

Brings down all the downstream vPCs on that vPC peer device, which forces all the traffic to be rerouted in the access switch toward the other vPC peer device.

Once you configure this feature and if the module fails, the system automatically suspends all the vPC links on the primary vPC peer device and stops the peer-keepalive messages. This action forces the vPC secondary device to take over the primary role and all the vPC traffic to go to this new vPC primary device until the system stabilizes.

Create a track list that contains all the links to the core and all the vPC peer links as its object. Enable tracking for the specified vPC domain for this track list. Apply this same configuration to the other PC peer device. See the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 4.2, for information about configuring object tracking and track lists.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to put the previously configured track-list object into the vPC domain on the vPC peer device:

switch# config t 
switch(config)# vpc domain 5
switch(config-vpc-domain)# track object 5

Usage Guidelines

When PMTUD (RFC 1191) is enabled on a tunnel interface, the router performs PMTUD processing for the tunnel IP packets. The router always performs PMTUD processing on the original data IP packets that enter the tunnel. When PMTUD is enabled, no packet fragmentation occurs on the encapsulated packets that travel through the tunnel. Without packet fragmentation, there is a better throughput of TCP connections. PMTUD maximizes the use of available bandwidth in the network between the endpoints of a tunnel interface.

After PMTUD is enabled, the Don't Fragment (DF) bit of the IP packet header that is forwarded into the tunnel is copied to the IP header of the external IP packets. The external IP packet is the encapsulating IP packet. Adding the DF bit allows the PMTUD mechanism to work on the tunnel path of the tunnel. The tunnel endpoint listens for Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) unreachable too-big messages and modifies the IP MTU of the tunnel interface, if required.

When the aging timer is configured, the tunnel code resets the tunnel MTU after the aging timer expires. After the tunnel MTU is reset, a set of full-size packets with the DF bit set is required to trigger the tunnel PMTUD and lower the tunnel MTU. At least two packets are dropped each time that the tunnel MTU changes.

When PMTUD is disabled, the DF bit of an external (encapsulated) IP packet is set to zero even if the encapsulated packet has a DF bit set to one.

The min-mtu keyword sets a low limit through the MTU that can be learned through the PMTUD process. Any ICMP signal received that specifies an MTU less than the minimum MTU configured will be ignored. You can use this feature to prevent a denial- of-service attack from any node that can send an ICMP message to the router that specifies a very small MTU.


Note PMTUD on a tunnel interface requires that the tunnel endpoint is able to receive ICMP messages generated by routers in the path of the tunnel. You should check that ICMP messages can be received before you use PMTUD over firewall connections.


This command requires the Enterprise license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure PMTUD:

switch(config-if)# tunnel path-mtu-discovery

Usage Guidelines

Typically, you configure 802.1Q trunks with a native VLAN ID, which strips tagging from all packets on that VLAN and allows all untagged traffic and control traffic to transit the switch. Packets that enter the switch with 802.1Q tags that match the native VLAN ID value are similarly stripped of tagging. If you choose to maintain the tagging on the native VLAN and drop untagged traffic, enter the vlan dot1q tag native command.

Use the vlan dot1q tag native command to configure the switch to tag the traffic received on the native VLAN and to admit only 802.1Q-tagged frame, dropping any untagged traffic, including untagged traffic in the native VLAN. Control traffic continues to be accepted untagged on the native VLAN on a trunked port, even when the vlan dot1q tag native command is enabled.

Use this command to enable the tagging behavior on all native VLANs on all trunked ports on the switch.


Note If you enable 802.1Q tagging on one switch and disable it on another switch, all traffic is dropped; you must identically configure 802.1Q tagging on each switch.


This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to enable dot1q tagging for all VLANs on all trunk ports on the switch:

switch(config)# vlan dot1q tag native

Usage Guidelines

You must enable the vPC feature before you can create a vPC.

Once you have created the vPC domain ID and the vPC peer link, you create port channels to attach the downstream device to each vPC peer device. That is, you create one port channel from the downstream device to the primary vPC peer device and you create another port channel from the downstream device to the secondary peer device. Finally, working on each vPC peer device, you assign a vPC number to the port channel that connects to the downstream device. You will experience minimal traffic disruption when you are creating vPCs.


Note The vPC number that you assign to the port channel connecting to the downstream device from the vPC peer device must be identical on both vPC peer devices.


This command does not require a license.

Usage Guidelines

You must enable the vPC feature before you can create a vPC domain.

You put all vPC interfaces, including the vPC peer link, on both of the vPC peer devices into the identical vPC domain. You must have unique vPC domain numbers within each VDC. In Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3), you can have only one vPC per VDC. Once you create a vPC domain, the system automatically creates a vPC system MAC that is unique to that vPC.

You also use this command to enter the vpc-domain command mode in order to configure vPC parameters.

This command does not require a license.

Usage Guidelines

You must enable the vPC feature before you can create a vPC peer link.

You configure a port channel using 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports on the N7K-M132XP-12 module. We recommend that you use the 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports for the channel in dedicated mode and configure at least two of these ports on two different modules into the port channel for redundancy.

Use the vpc peer-link command to make that port channel a vPC peer link. The system returns an error message if you attempt to configure a 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface as a vPC peer link.

After you configure the vPC peer device and the vPC peer link is established, the system creates a new MAC address for the vPC and decides which vPC device is the primary device and which is the secondary.

This command does not require a license.
