Used to aggregate the bandwidth of physical links Ethernet PC's and SAN PC's use the same number space in Nexus New Member added with the link level channel-group 1 force Port Channeling Protocol (PCP) enabled with PC link level channel mode active interface port-channel (MDS) interface san-port-channel (Nexus) Verified with show port-channel summary (MDS) show san-port-channel summary (Nexus) Configuration Example  N5K1 First Check to make sure how the ports are configured show int fc1/27 - 28 brief  Both ports are up and operating as TE (trunking expansion ports) with no port channel MDS1 is running the same, for ports FC1/1 - 2 show int fc1/1 - 2 brief  SAN Port-Channel Configuration MDS1 conf t int fc1/1 - 2 channel-group 1 (this will bring down the links admin down)  You'll see from the "show run int fac1/1" what the configuration looks like The switchport rate-mode dedicated was needed when you make the port switchport mode e  You'll notice this has the same configuration as fc1/1 N5K1 conf t int fc1/27 - 28 channel-group 1 (this will bring down the links admin down)  On both MDS1 and N5K1 no shut the ports N5K1 conf t int fc1/27 - 28 no shut conf t int fc1/1 - 2 no shut For the port-channel summary on the MDS switches you really don't get enough information with a show port-channel summary need to use the show port-channel internal info interface po1  This will show you the member ports For the Nexus you issue the command "show san-port-channel summary"  This right now is not running PCP you could add this with the following under the interfaces on MDS1 and N5K1 conf t int san-port-channel 1 channel mode active Now the output should look like:  |
