Nexus 5k Error

[Michael Dougherty]

Hello Everyone,

I am working with a brand new pair of 5k's and I was following a configuration guide that said to enter the slot command and provision.  I attempt to enter the model of the module that is installed in the unit but I get the error below.  If anyone has a suggest for this problem I would appreciate it.  Thanks.  

cisco-nexus-5000-2(config-slot)# provision model ?

Hi Michael,

What slot are you trying to provision this in?  If you are trying to provision it in slot >100 it will throw that error as those slots are reserved for FEX

Hello Chad,

I actually was using a configuration example from Cisco.  So yes I was using slot 100 as per the example.  I noticed that in the same example there would be a reference to "ethernet 100/1/1".  But when I attempt that command it gives an error.  Is that a result of not having the provioning declaired? 

Cheers

Hi Michael

Try using module 2, that should allow the module to be provisioned here.

Hi chaps,

I just got caught up on this snag

I tried to preprovision on slot 1, which when you look at it, I guess slot 1 is being used by the front panel ports on the N5K - as the regular interfaces are on e1/2. So in balance I guess "ERROR: Invalid module type" is a bit cryptic but kind of makes sense?

feature fex

! Slot 100 works fine

!

slot 100

  provision model N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE

!

interface Ethernet1/1

  switchport mode fex-fabric

!

Anyway I guess you are sorted out, this is an FYI for other guys out there , for those like me who get given twenty 500 page PDFs to read and not sent on courses

Cheers.
