Configuration Examples for F and TF PortChannels
This example shows how to configure F PortChannel in shared mode and bring up the link (not supported
on the MDS 91x4 switches) between F ports on the NPIV core switches and NP ports on the NPV
switches:
Step 1 Enable the F port trunking and channeling protocol on the MDS core switch.
switch(config)# feature fport-channel-trunk
Step 2 Enable NPIV on the MDS core switch:
switch(config)# feature npiv
Step 3 Create the PortChannel on the MDS core switch:
switch(config)# interface port-channel 1
switch(config-if)# switchport mode F
switch(config-if)# channel mode active
switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode off
switch(config-if)# switchport rate-mode shared
switch(config-if)# exit
Step 4 Configure the PortChannel member interfaces on the core switch:
switch(config)# interface fc2/1-3
switch(config-if)# shut
switch(config-if)# switchport mode F
switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode off
switch(config-if)# switchport speed 4000
switch(config-if)# switchport rate-mode shared
switch(config-if)# channel-group 1
switch(config-if)# no shut
switch(config-if)# exit
Step 5 Create the PortChannel on the NPV switch:
switch(config)# interface port-channel 1
switch(config-if)# switchport mode NP
switch(config-if)# switchport rate-mode shared
switch(config-if)# exit
Step 6 Configure the PortChannel member interfaces on the NPV switch:
