Step 4
Create a Fabric Extender identifier (for example, "100").
NX-5000-1(config)# fex 100
NX-5000-1(config-fex)# pinning max-links 1
NX-5000-1(fex)# exit
Step 5
Configure the fabric EtherChannel links for the Fabric Extender 100.
NX-5000-1(config)# interface ethernet 1/20
NX-5000-1(config-if)# channel-group 100
NX-5000-1(config-if)# exit
NX-5000-1(config)# interface port-channel 100
NX-5000-1(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
NX-5000-1(config-if)# vpc 100
NX-5000-1(config-if)# fex associate 100
NX-5000-1(config-if)# exit
Step 6
Configure each host interface port on the Fabric Extender 100 on both Nexus 5000 Series switch as for all
the other steps.
NX-5000-1(config)# interface ethernet 100/1/1-48
NX-5000-1(config-if)# switchport mode access
NX-5000-1(config-if)# switchport access vlan 50
NX-5000-1(config-if)# no shutdown
NX-5000-1(config-if)# exit
Step 7
Save the configuration.
NX-5000-1(config)# copy running-config startup-config
Repeat all the above steps for the NX-5000-2 switch.
