Host Trunk port on Cisco Fabric Extender

TCAM
Level 1
Level 1

Topology:

Nexus 7710 to FEX.  no VPC configuration.  Image: 7.2(1)D1(1)  

ESX host is not running spanning-tree, port configured as trunk with VLANs.

 

When I hook an ESX host up to my FEX host port configured as a trunk, the port does not go into err-disable mode, the FEX host port shows up/up but I cannot connect to any of the trunked VLANs either.

 

Am i missing something?  Thanks 

 

Config is as follow:

 

interface Ethernet8/19
description FEX TO N2248TP
switchport
switchport mode fex-fabric
fex associate 101
channel-group 101
no shutdown

!

interface port-channel101
description FEX TO N2248TP
switchport
switchport mode fex-fabric
fex associate 101

!

interface Ethernet101/1/3
description FEX TRUNK PORT
switchport
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10-50
spanning-tree port type edge trunk
no shutdown

!

 

Eth101/1/3 FEX TRUNK PORT connected trunk full a-1000 10/100/1000

Switch config looks correct. Can you make sure the ESXi host is configured with the correct vlans?
