Remove Port-Channel and VPC Config in Nexus Switch

hi,

i need to remove an access layer switch and its config on dual uplinks to nexus core switch.

it has identical port-channel and VPC config on both nexus CSW01 and CSW02.

is there a 'safe' sequence in removing the config?

or if i 'default' eth1/1 it will auto remove port-channel 101 and VPC 101?

see my config below. appreciate anyone's advice. TIA!

 

CSW01# sh run int e1/1    <<< MIRROR CONFIG IN CSW02

 

!Command: show running-config interface Ethernet1/1

!Time: Sun Mar 27 03:55:29 2022

 

interface Ethernet1/1

  switchport mode trunk

  channel-group 101 mode active

 

 

CSW01# sh run int po101

 

!Command: show running-config interface port-channel1

!Time: Sun Mar 27 03:56:27 2022

 

interface port-channel101

  switchport mode trunk

  spanning-tree port type edge trunk

  vpc 101

 - That seems Ok , but I would at least make sure that the access switch is no longer on the network. shut or power it down first, meaning do not do that on active links.

Not sure the goal here, you would like to remove the Access switch connected to Nexus VPC (dual-homed access switch)

 

then - for safe 

 

1. shutdown the port-channel first on both the nexus switch. (once you do this you no Longer can access access switch - until you have any other OOB mgmt available or console)

2. Remove Physical patches connected to the Access switch.

3. then you can do whatever step like no config and default config and ports in shutdown.
