Configure the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch

For the Cisco Nexus switch, you first create a virtual interface to bind the Ethernet port to the FC forwarder (FCF).

The following instructions use port 1/3 as the example port.

  1. Before you configure the switch, download and install the latest switch firmware from:

    http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html

  2. Enable the trunk mode for an Ethernet port.
    # configure
    # interface ethernet 1/3
    # switchport mode trunk
    # spanning-tree port type edge trunk
    # exit
  3. Create a VFC.
    # configure
    # interface vfc 3
    # bind interface ethernet 1/3
    # no shutdown
    # exit
