Nexus 7k Interface Configuration

[angel-moon]

All,

I know how to get into the VDC that I need to work on to issue a "No shut" command but when I try to go into the Interface I get an error message.  It won't take "Interface Ethernet1/24"  seems like it is saying gthere sdhould be something after the 24 but I canpt figure out what.  A lil help please?

Thanks.

Can you share the "sh vdc membership" command output from the admin/default VDC?

Also please share

show module

show vdc.

Also can you print the session log that shows this problem.

Looking at your ouputs, are you logging into the VDC  using below-

conf t

vdc <vdcname>

If so then that is only for configuring the vdc and allocating resources to it. Make sure you allocate interface e1/24 (plus other interfaces that you need) to the vdc using below command -

conf t

vdc <vdcname>

allocate interface Ethernet1/24

Then you can switch to the vdc using "switchto vdc <vdcname>". This actually takes you to the vdc and allows you to configure the interfaces and other features specific to that VDC.

Hope this is clear.

Hello,

Is that interface is part of VDC , what you see after logging onto VDC by issuing command show interfaces ?

Hello,

As i suspect, The interface is not allocated to CORE VDC.

So as per suggestion by Raj do the allocation of interface as per below commands.

conf t
vdc <vdcname>
allocate interface Ethernet1/24

Once done then you can see the interface under CORE VDC.

Hope it Helps..

Rate if it Helps.

  It looks like you are global config mode . You need to get into the VDC itself .   From there use  the switchto command .   switchto vdc <vdcname>  .
