nexus 5k vpc pair

question on the switchport command.

the ports on the primary nexus all follow this format, for example:

interface Ethernet100/1/16
description Server1A-1
switchport access vlan 550
no snmp trap link-status

but on the secondary they all include switchport:

interface Ethernet100/1/16
description Server1A-1

switchport

switchport access vlan 550
no snmp trap link-status

Any idea why?

and should i go through the primary ports and add the command?

or no it out of the secondary switch interface commands?

never really paid attention to it before but i was looking at both configs today and realized i have no idea why that was done

 - There is no harm in adding the switchport command to the primary too for the particular port ; it confirms it to be a layer 2 port ,

Beginning with NX-OS Release 5.0(3)N1(1), on Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform switches, you can configure a Layer 3 interface.

You can change a Layer 3 interface into a Layer 2 interface by using the switchport command. You can change a Layer 2 interface into a Layer 3 interface by using the no switchport command.

As @marce1000 there is no harm at all to add switch port under l2.

Hello,

you might want to check if both Nexus switches have different switch profiles configured:

Nexus5K#show switch-profile
