Examples
This example shows how to bind a VFC interface to an Ethernet interface:
switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)# interface vfc 4
switch(config-if)# bind interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)#
This example shows how to bind a VFC interface to a port channel interface:
