Information About Module Pre-Provisioning
The pre-provisioning feature allows you to preconfigure interfaces before inserting or attaching a module. If
a module goes offline, you can also use pre-provisioning to make changes to the interface configurations for
the offline module. When a pre-provisioned module comes online, the pre-provisioning configurations are
applied. If any configurations were not applied, a syslog is generated. The syslog lists the configurations that
were not accepted.
In some Virtual Port Channel (vPC) topologies, pre-provisioning is required for the configuration
synchronization feature. Pre-provisioning allows you to synchronize the configuration for an interface that is
online with one peer but offline with another peer.
For a list of supported hardware, see the Table 2 Hardware Supported by Cisco NX-OS Release 7.x
