configure vpex ports

configure vpex ports port_list slot slot_num

Description

Syntax Description

vpex Specifies Virtual Port Extender (VPEX).
ports Specifies the switch ports attached to the BPE.
port_list Specifies the switch ports attached to the BPE. Must be in the format slot:port. Only a single port can be configured at a time.
Note: If the switch port is a LAG, the port specified must be the master port.
slot Specifies VPEX BPE slot assignment.
slot_num Specifies VPEX BPE slot assignment. Value must be between 100–162.

Default

N/A

Usage Guidelines

You must enable VPEX mode (enable vpex) before using this command.

The behavior of this command is similar to assigning slots within a chassis. After assigning a slot number to the port extender, you can make port-level configuration choices with the familiar slot:port notation in other commands involving the port extender's ports (for example, configure vlan v1 add port 100:1).

This command causes jumbo frames to be enabled on the specified ports.

Example

The following example assigns a BPE attached to switch port 1:23 to slot 100:

# configure vpex ports 1:23 slot 100
