Nexus newbie question

[g.hammond]

I'm new to the Nexus configuration and have a pretty simple question.  Only half of the interfaces on the FEXes I am installing are actually coming up.  The ones that don't come up are in the following state: Ethernet102/1/23 is down (fabricIfDown).

Not sure how to get it out of this state.  I've tried the shut/no shut, which was obviously not the right thing.  Need some help getting past this.

Thanks,

[Jerry Ye]

Can you post the config of the Nexus (5K I assume).

Regards,

Hi,

If there are multiple links between n5k and n2k with no port channel, you may wana check the pinning max-links command and make sure that the numbers are equal to the number of links between them.
