I am working on configuring connection betwen Cisco 6509-E and Nexus 7000 using 2 xenpaks.
Nexus 7000 is routing and 6509-E is switching.
6509-E has a WS-SUP32-10GE-3B supervisor.
I have connect 2 xenpaks and configured as above:
interface TenGigabitEthernet5/1
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet5/2
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
Router#show int ten 5/1 status
Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speede
Te5/1 connected trunk full 10GR
Router#show int ten 5/2 status
Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speede
Te5/2 connected trunk full 10GR
Router#show int trunk

Te5/2 1-4094
Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain
Te5/1 1-7,9-10,13-14,20-21,23,30,105-107
Te5/2 1-7,9-10,13-14,20-21,23,30,105-107
Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pd
Te5/1 1-7,9-10,13-14,20-21,23,30,105-107
Te5/2 1-7,9-10,13-14,20-21,23,30,105-107
On the other side (Nexus 7000) I have done the following configuration:
interface port-channel20
description *** WC2 (XENPAK) <--> 7000 (SPF) ***
switchport mode trunk
interface Ethernet1/1
description *** WC2 (XENPAK-5/1) <--> 7000 (SPF-eth 1/1) ***
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 20
no shutdown
interface Ethernet1/2
description *** WC2 (XENPAK-5/2) <--> 7000 (SPF-eth 1/2) ***
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 20
no shutdown

I have 2 questions:
1. Is it necessary (recommended) to configure a port-channel on 6509-E for xenpaks ?
2. I would like to define an ip address to 6509-E in order to telnet it from my administrative station. Can I set this address to
interface TenGigabitEthernet5/1 ?
Thanks in advance
Rosa
