Hi
It appears that I have a problem with vpc connections to a single fex and the fex not showing any primary fabric port information. All the documentation I have read tells me that when I issue this command:
switch# show fex 100 detail
I should see this:
Fabric port for control traffic: Eth1/29
Fabric interface state:
Po100 - Interface Up. State: Active
Eth1/29 - Interface Up. State: Active
Eth1/30 - Interface Up. State: Active
Fex Port State Fabric Port Primary Fabric
Eth100/1/1 Up Po100 Po100
Eth100/1/2 Up Po100 Po100
Eth100/1/3 Up Po100 Po100
etc etc etc
But when I issue the command, all i see is this:
Fabric port for control traffic: Eth1/19
FCoE Admin: false
FCoE Oper: true
FCoE FEX AA Configured: false
Fabric interface state:
Po100 - Interface Up. State: Active
Eth1/19 - Interface Up. State: Active
Eth1/20 - Interface Down. State: Configured
Fex Port State Fabric Port
Eth100/1/1 Down None
Eth100/1/2 Down Po100
Eth100/1/3 Down Po100
There are no Primary Fabric listed. - Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?

Hi,
Can you post your config?

Hi,
What is the code that you are using the in the Nexus devices, and please post your "show run fex" configuration in order to verify the status of this.

Hi Steve,
Your configuration is correct one and your FEX is showing up.
The output that is the documentation is from code 4.2 where it was showing the "Primary Fabric" option, in your code that doesn't show up anymore in the new codes.
You shouldn't concern about this situation.
Regards
