6. Bind each VFC port to a unique Ethernet port by issuing the following commands on each port:
interface vfc n
bind interface ethernet slot/port
exit
NOTE:
Depending on your switch, up to 52 VFC ports may be available.
In Example 1, VFC ports 1 through 8 are created and are bound to Ethernet ports 1/1 through
1/8, respectively. Example 2 shows a more complex configuration in which the VFC ports are
not sequential.
Example 1. Creating and binding consecutive VFC ports
Nexus5010# configure terminal
Nexus5010(config)# interface vfc 1
Nexus5010(config-if)# bind interface ethernet 1/1
Nexus5010(config-if)# exit
Nexus5010(config)# interface vfc 2
Nexus5010(config-if)# bind interface ethernet 1/2
Nexus5010(config-if)# exit
Nexus5010(config)# interface vfc 3
Nexus5010(config-if)# bind interface ethernet 1/3
Nexus5010(config-if)# exit
Nexus5010(config)# interface vfc 4
Nexus5010(config-if)# bind interface ethernet 1/4
Nexus5010(config-if)# exit
Nexus5010(config)# interface vfc 5
Nexus5010(config-if)# bind interface ethernet 1/5
Nexus5010(config-if)# exit
Nexus5010(config)# interface vfc 6
Nexus5010(config-if)# bind interface ethernet 1/6
Nexus5010(config-if)# exit
Nexus5010(config)# interface vfc 7
Nexus5010(config-if)# bind interface ethernet 1/7
Nexus5010(config-if)# exit
Nexus5010(config)# interface vfc 8
Nexus5010(config-if)# bind interface ethernet 1/8
Nexus5010(config-if)# exit
Nexus5010(config)# interface vfc 1-8
Nexus5010(config-if)# no shutdown
Nexus5010(config-if)# exit
IMPORTANT:
Example 2 is provided for reference only. It shows an alternate method of performing this
step.
