FEX port-channel showing VLAN 1

Amafsha1

Hello, when I look at the config for our fex port-channels, I see the following:

 

interface Ethernet1/1

description port-channel 151 to Fex 151

switchport access vlan 1
switchport trunk native vlan 1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-4094

fex associate 151

 

when I input the command "show int status", I see the following:


Eth1/1 //Po151 to FEX-151 connected 1 full 10G SFP-H10GB-CU5M

 

Why does it show VLAN 1 on the int status?  Is VLAN 1 actually being used here?  I would expect it to say "trunk"?

I dont think you are looking at the right interface or it is not configured properly and the FEX is not online.

FEX fabric port configuration :

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface port-channel 4
switch(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)# fex associate 101
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/28
switch(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)# fex associate 101
switch(config-if)# channel-group 4
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/29
switch(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)# fex associate 101
switch(config-if)# channel-group 4
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/30
switch(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)# fex associate 101
switch(config-if)# channel-group 4
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/31
switch(config-if)# switchport mode fex-fabric
switch(config-if)# fex associate 101
switch(config-if)# channel-group 4

The fex is definitely online and been working for years. 

 

NX002# sh run int e1/1

interface Ethernet1/1
  description //Po151 to FEX-151
  switchport mode fex-fabric
  fex associate 151
  mtu 9216
  channel-group 151

NX002# sh run int e1/2

interface Ethernet1/2
  description //Po151 to FEX-151
  switchport mode fex-fabric
  fex associate 151
  mtu 9216
  channel-group 151

NX002# sh int po151 | in Mem
  Members in this channel: Eth1/1, Eth1/2
NX002# sh int status | in FEX Eth1/1 //Po151 to FEX-151 connected 1 full 10G SFP-H10GB-CU5M Eth1/2 //Po151 to FEX-151 connected 1 full 10G SFP-H10GB-CU5M Po151 // To FEX-151 connected 1 full 10G --

 

Now I get what you are referring as the config / output pasted in the initial post was not clear as it was in your latest one.

The VLAN 1 would be just a display stuff.

Thank you.  So it seems that the "vlan 1" is insignificant here?
