This example shows how to associate the Fabric Extender to an EtherChannel interface on the switch:
switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
switch(config)# interface port-channel 2
switch(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)# fex associate 100
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/19
switch(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)# fex associate 100
switch(config-if)# channel-group 2
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/20
switch(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)# fex associate 100
switch(config-if)# channel-group 2
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/21
switch(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)# fex associate 100
switch(config-if)# channel-group 2
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/22
switch(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)# fex associate 100
switch(config-if)# channel-group 2
switch(config-if)# exit
You have to associate each Ethernet interface that is a member of the EtherChannel as a fabric interface
Note
as shown in the above example.
This example shows how to display the association of the Fabric Extender and the switch:
switch# show interface port-channel 2 fex-intf
