Syntax Description

vpex Specifies Virtual Port Extender (VPEX).
auto-configuration Specifies disabling automatic configuration of the Extended Edge Switching architecture.

Usage Guidelines

Auto-configuration allows the controlling bridge switch to detect new BPEs connected to ports not configured as cascade ports, and automatically configure cascade ports, LAG membership, MLAG ports, and extended slots. This command disables this auto-configuring capability.

To disable auto-configuration, you must first enter VPEX mode (see enable vpex).

Example

The following example disables auto-configuration mode:

# disable vpex auto-configuration
