show vpex topology { port port_num} {summary | detail}

Description

In an Extended Edge Switching environment, shows the bridge port extender (BPE) topology that is connected to the specified native cascade port.

Syntax Description

vpex Specifies Virtual Port Extender (VPEX).
port Specifies topology information for VPEX slots attached to a specified native VPEX cascade port on the controlling bridge (CB).
port_num Specifies the native VPEX cascade port number.
summary Includes connected VPEX slot numbers only. Default behavior when port is not specified.
detail Selects including VPEX slot interconnections. Default behavior when port is specified.

Default

If a port is not specified, then summary (connected VPEX slot numbers only) information appears by default; if a port is specified, then detailed (VPEX slot interconnections) information appears by default.

Usage Guidelines

If a port is not entered or summary is selected, all topologies appear (summary mode). Only the native cascade port or MLAG and a list of slots appear in summary mode.

If a port is entered or detail is selected, detailed mode information appears.

For slots configured using virtual MLAG, instead of the native cascade port, the MLAG ID appears.

Example

The following example shows summary Extended Edge Switching topology information:

# show vpex topology

Topology: Cascade
  Native cascade port 1:45
    Slots: 104, 105, 106

Topology: Cascade
  Native cascade port 1:47
    Slots: 101, 102, 103

The following example shows detailed Extended Edge Switching topology information:

# show vpex topology detail
