Cisco Nexus 5600 Series - Configuring Switch Profiles

If a configuration change is made on only one switch, a merge occurs when the mgmt0 interface comes
up and the configuration is applied on the other switch.
•
Synchronizing configurations when an ISSU is performed on one switch and a configuration change is
made on the peer switch—In a vPC topology, configuration changes on the peer switch are not allowed
when an ISSU is performed on the other switch. In topologies without vPCs, configuration changes are
allowed and the switch undergoing an ISSU synchronizes new configurations when the upgrade is
complete.
Configuring Switch Profiles
You can create and configure a switch profile. Enter the switch-profile name command in the configuration
synchronization mode (config-sync).
Before You Begin
You must create the switch profile with the same name on each switch and the switches must configure each
other as a peer. When connectivity is established between switches with the same active switch profile, the
switch profiles are synchronized.
