Nexus 5548up fiber port connect to VM host Hp proliant

[jefferymitchell]

Need to connect VM host on a HP proliant server to our Nexus 5548up switch. Need example configuration and explanation.

How many vlans will you have on the link between the switch and the VM?

How many 5548 switches do you have?

If you have 2, are they configured as VPC?

2 swiches 1 vlan these switches  connect our SAN to our servers. We are adding a new physical server to connect to the nexus 5548UP

[Reza Sharifi]

here is a sample config.  If you only have one vlan than the switch port can be configured as access port. vlan 5 is an example here.

This example shows how to set an interface as an Ethernet access port that carries traffic for a specific VLAN only:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/10
switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 5

The connection will be fiber gig port Not fastethernet.

it doesn't matter the interface type.  The config is the same for gig, 10gig, etc..
