Hi i Need to Know the Usage of FEX connected towards Nexus and i have see the VPC configured between Nexus and FEX but what about client or individual port configuration required on FEX. as i understood FEX does not switch packets.
How servers need to be connected FEX and Can we do VLAN configuration in FEX.

Once you have a FEX connected and configured on your parent Nexus switch, all FEX interfaces facing the hosts (HIF ports - host interfaces) are listed in all show commands in this format <fex-id>/1/<port-number>.
Example:
+ you have FEX 101 connected and configured
+ FEX have 48 ports
+ All FEX ports are listed in "show running" and "show interface brief" as Eth101/1/1 ... Eth101/1/48
To configure them, you just have to enter into:
Nexus# conf t Nexus(config)# interface eth101/1/1 Nexus(config-if)# <configure here what you want>
Stay safe,
