Hi,
ACI Version 2.2(2e)
I've a leaf switch (c93180YC-EX) with 8 uplinks to a FEX (c2232pp-10GE).
In the port block of the leaf switch the ports 1/41 -48 are defined for the uplinks.
I want now remove the ports 1/45 - 48, because I need them urgently for another FEX. My question is: If I change the port block from 1/41 - 48 to 1/41 - 44, is there an interrupt an all uplinks or will simply the ports 45-48 removed from the uplink channel.
Unfortunately I haven't a test environment to try it out. Has anyone collected experience in that matter?
Best regards and thanks

Hi Markus,
If I change the port block from 1/41 - 48 to 1/41 - 44, is there an interrupt an all uplinks or will simply the ports 45-48 removed from the uplink channel
Unfortunately, there will be an interupt to all links in the port-channel.
By far the quickest way to make the change with minimal disruption would be to either
But I'm curious as to why there are 8 links in the port-channel in the first place - I'm guessing that it was a little glitch in the initial configuration.
I hope this helps

Thx Chris
I guessed it was like this. Now its clear. Even if I use Postman, which I almost always do, I have to go in a maintenance window.
Best regards, Markus
There is a historical reason for the 8 uplinks. Once the FEX hosted 32 rackservers and 4 uplinks were not enough. In the meantime most of the servers are not in use anymore.
