auto-recovery reload-delay time-out-value
no auto-recovery reload-delay time-out-value
Syntax Description
reload-delay
Specifies the duration to wait after reload to recovery vPCs.
time-out-value
Timeout value for restoring vPC links in seconds. The range is from 240 to 3600.
Defaults
None
Command Modes
VPC domain configuration mode (config-vpc-domain)
Supported User Rolesnetwork-admin
vdc-adminCommand History
Usage Guidelines
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to display the vPC status in brief:

bandwidth (interface)
To set the inherited and received bandwidth values for an interface, use the bandwidth command in interface configuration mode. To restore the default values, use the no form of this command.
bandwidth {kbps | inherit [kbps]}
no bandwidth {kbps | inherit [kbps]}
Syntax Description
Defaults
1000000 kbps
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Supported User Rolesnetwork-admin
vdc-adminCommand History
Usage Guidelines
The bandwidth command sets an informational parameter to communicate only the current bandwidth to the higher-level protocols; you cannot adjust the actual bandwidth of an interface using this command.
Note
This is a routing parameter only. It does not affect the physical interface.
The bandwidth inherit command controls how a subinterface inherits the bandwidth of its main interface.
The no bandwidth inherit command enables all subinterfaces to inherit the default bandwidth of the main interface, regardless of the configured bandwidth. If a bandwidth is not configured on a subinterface, and you use the bandwidth inherit command, all subinterfaces inherit the current bandwidth of the main interface. If you configure a new bandwidth on the main interface, all subinterfaces use this new value.
If you do not configure a bandwidth on the subinterface and you configure the bandwidth inherit command on the main interface, the subinterfaces inherit the specified bandwidth.
In all cases, if an interface has an explicit bandwidth setting configured, that interface uses that setting, regardless of whether the bandwidth inheritance setting is in effect.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to configure all subinterfaces off this main interface to inherit the configured bandwidth:
switch(config-if)# bandwidth inherit 30000Related Commands
beacon

This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
BFD echo mode is enabled by default.
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
When echo mode is enabled, the required minimum receive interval value is taken from the BFD slow-timer setting.
Note
Note
Use the no bfd echo command to stop sending echo packets and signify that the device is unwilling to forward echo packets that are received from BFD neighbors. The RequiredMinEchoRx BFD session parameter is set to zero when echo mode is disabled.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to configure echo mode between BFD neighbors:
switch(config)# interface Ethernet 1/1switch(config-if)# bfd echoThis example shows that the BFD session neighbor is up and using BFD echo mode. The relevant command output is shown in bold in the output:

bfd optimize subinterfaces
To optimize subinterfaces on a physical interface for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), use the bfd optimize subinterfaces command. To return to the default setting, use the no form of this command.
bfd optimize subinterfaces
no bfd optimize subinterfaces
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
Disabled
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
You can optimize subinterfaces, because BFD creates sessions for all configured subinterfaces. BFD sets the subinterface with the lowest configured VLAN ID as the master subinterface and that subinterface uses the BFD session parameters of the parent interface. The remaining subinterfaces use the slow timer. If the master subinterface session detects an error, BFD marks all subinterfaces on that physical interface as down.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to enable subinterface optimization:
switch(config)# interface Ethernet 1/1switch(config-if)# bfd optimize subinterfacesRelated Commands
bfd per-link
To enable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for all links in a port channel, use the bfd per-link command. To disable BFD for a port channel, use the no form of this command.
bfd per-link
no bfd per-link
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
BFD is not enabled on the port channel.
Command Modes
Port channel configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Us the bfd per-link command to enable BFD on each link in a port channel. BFD creates a session for each link in the port channel and provides an aggregate result to client protocols. For example, if the BFD session for one link on a port channel is up, BFD informs client protocols such as open shortest path (OSPF) that the port channel is up. The BFD session parameters are negotiated between the BFD peers in a three-way handshake.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to enable BFD for port channel 3:
switch# configure terminalswitch(config)# interface port-channel 3switch(config-if)# bfd per-linkThis example shows how to configure the BFD session parameters for a port channel:
switch# configure terminalswitch(config)# interface port-channel 3switch(config-if)# bfd interval 50 min_rx 50 multiplier 3Related Commands

To configure the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) slow timer value, use the bfd slow-timer command. To return to the default setting, use the no form of this command.
bfd slow-timer milliseconds
no bfd slow-timer milliseconds
Syntax Description
Defaults
The default BFD slow timer value is 2000 milliseconds.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Interface configurationCommand History
Usage Guidelines
Use the bfd slow-timer command to configure how fast a BFD session comes up. This value also sets the RequiredMinRx (or min_rx) value when echo mode is enabled.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows that the BFD slow timer value is configured to 14,000 milliseconds:
switch(config)# bfd slow-timer 14000This example shows that the BFD slow timer value of 14,000 milliseconds has been implemented. The values for the MinTxInt and MinRxInt correspond to the configured value for the BFD slow timer. The relevant command output is shown in bold.

carrier-delay
To set the carrier delay on an interface, use the carrier-delay command. To return to the default carrier delay value, use the no form of this command.
carrier-delay {sec | {msec value}}
no carrier-delay
Syntax Description
sec
Seconds of delay. The range is from 0 to 60.
msec
Specifies milliseconds of delay.
value
Milliseconds of delay. The range is from 0 to 1000.
Defaults
The default is 100 milliseconds.
Command Modes
Interface configuration mode
Supported User Rolesnetwork-admin
vdc-admin
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Note
If a link goes down and comes back up before the carrier delay timer expires, the down state is effectively filtered, and the rest of the software on the device is not aware that a link-down event occurred. A large carrier delay timer results in fewer link-up/link-down events being detected. When you set the carrier delay time to 0, the device detects each link-up/link-down event that occurs.
Note
In most environments, a lower carrier delay time is better than a higher one. The value that you choose depends on the nature of the link outages and how long you expect these linkages to last in your network. If your data links are subject to short outages (especially if those outages last less time than it takes for your IP routing to converge), you should set a long carrier delay value to prevent these short outages from causing unnecessary churn in your routing tables. However, if you outages tend to be longer, then you may want to set a shorter carrier delay time so that the outages are detected sooner, and the IP route convergence begins and ends sooner.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to set the carrier delay timer to 20 minutes for VLAN 6:
switch(config)#interface vlan 6switch(config-if)#carrier-delay 20switch(config-if)#Related Commands
channel-group
To assign and configure a physical interface to a port-channel group, use the channel-group command. To remove the channel-group configuration from the interface, use the no form of this command.
channel-group number [force] [mode {active | on | passive}]
no channel-group [number]
Syntax Description
number
Number of the channel group. The maximum number of port channels that can be configured is 256 across all virtual device contexts (VDCs), and the range is from 1 to 4096.
force
(Optional) Forces the interface to join the channel group, although some parameters are not compatible. For information on the compatibility parameters and which ones can be forced, see the Usage Guidelines section.
mode
Specifies the port-channel mode of the interface.
active
Specifies that when you enable the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), this command enables LACP on the specified interface. The interface is in an active negotiating state, in which the port initiates negotiations with other ports by sending LACP packets.
on
Specifies the default channel mode and all port channels that are not running LACP remain in this mode. If you attempt to change the channel mode to active or passive before enabling LACP, the device returns an error message.
After you enable LACP globally by using the feature lacp command, you enable LACP on each channel by configuring the channel mode as either active or passive. An interface in this mode does not initiate or respond to LACP packets. When an LACP attempts to negotiate with an interface in the on state, it does not receive any LACP packets and becomes an individual link with that interface; it does not join the channel group.The default mode is on.
passive
Specifies that when you enable LACP, this command enables LACP only if an LACP device is detected.The interface is in a passive negotiation state, in which the port responds to LACP packets that it receives but does not initiate LACP negotiation.
Defaults
None
Command Modes
Interface configuration mode
Supported User Rolesnetwork-admin
vdc-admin
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to create a channel group that includes the interface that you are working on and to add or remove specific interfaces from the channel group. Use this command to move a port from one channel group to another. You enter the channel group that you want the port to move to; the device automatically removes the specified port from its present channel group and adds that port to the specified channel group.
After you enable LACP globally by using the feature lacp command, you enable LACP on each channel by configuring the channel mode as either active or passive. A port channel in the on channel mode is a pure port channel and can aggregate a maximum of eight ports. It does not run LACP.
You cannot change the mode for an existing port channel or any of its interfaces if that port channel is not running LACP; the channel mode remains as on. The system returns an error message if you try.
All ports in one port channel must be in the same virtual device context (VDC). With LACP enabled, this requirement applies to the possible eight active ports and the possible eight standby ports. The port channels can originate in one VDC (with all ports in that channel in the same VDC) and partner with a port channel in another VDC (again, all ports in that channel must be in that VDC).
Use the no form of this command to remove the physical interface from the port channel. When you delete the last physical interface from a port channel, the port channel remains. To delete the port channel completely, use the no form of this interface port-channel command.
The compatibility check includes the following operational attributes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Use the show port-channel compatibility-parameters command to see the full list of compatibility checks that the Cisco NX-OS uses.
You can only add interfaces configured with the channel mode set to on to static port channels, that is without a configured aggregation protocol and you can only add interfaces configured with the channel mode as active or passive to port channels that are running LACP.
You can configure these attributes on an individual member port. If you configure a member port with an incompatible attribute, Cisco NX-OS suspends that port in the port channel.
Alternatively, you can force ports with incompatible parameters to join the port channel as long the following parameters are the same:
•
•
•
•
•
•
When the interface joins a port channel, some of its individual parameters are removed and replaced with the values on the port channel as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Many of the following interface parameters remain unaffected with the interface joins or leaves a port channel:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
If subinterfaces are configured for the port-channel interface and a member port is removed from the port channel, the configuration of the port-channel subinterface is not propagated to the member ports.
Any configuration changes that you make in any of the compatibility parameters to the port-channel interface are propagated to all interfaces within the same channel group as the port channel (for example, configuration changes are also propagated to the physical interfaces that are not part of the port channel but are part of the channel group).
You do not have to create a port-channel interface before you assign a physical interface to a channel group. A port-channel interface is created automatically when the channel group gets its first physical interface, if it is not already created.
You can create either a Layer 2 or a Layer 3 port channel by entering the interface port-channel command or when the channel group gets its first physical interface assignment. The port channels are not created at run time or dynamically.

Supported User Rolesnetwork-admin
vdc-adminCommand History
Usage Guidelines
Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 4.2(1) for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series devices, the default delay values are changed. Prior to this release, all the default delay value for all interfaces was 100 microseconds.
After upgrading from an older release, when you enter the show running command on a VLAN interface, the display shows an additional configuration of "delay 100". If you want to revert the delay value to the new default, enter the no delay command for that VLAN interface.
Specifying a value for the throughput delay provides a value for use by Layer 3 protocols; it does not change the actual throughput delay of an interface.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to configure the throughput-delay time to 100,000 microseconds for the slot 3 port 1 Ethernet interface:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 3/1switch(config-if)# delay 10000Related Commands
show interface

Supported User Rolesnetwork-admin
vdc-adminCommand History
Usage Guidelines
If the traffic between two F1 ports is routed and the sending port have Link flow control enabled, PAUSE frames will not be send if the receiving port is congested by the sending interface. While if the traffic is bridged between two F1 ports and sending port have a link flow control enabled, PAUSE frames will be send if the receiving port is congested by the sending interface.
Make sure that the remote port has the corresponding setting for the flow control that you need. If you want the local port to send flow-control pause frames, the remote port has a receive parameter set to on or desired. If you want the local port to receive flow-control frames, you must make sure that the remote port has a send parameter set to on or desired. If you do not want to use flow control, you can set the remote port's send and receive parameters to off.
For Ethernet ports that run at 1 Gbps or faster speed, you can enable or disable the port's ability to send and receive flow-control pause frames. For Ethernet ports that run slower than 1 Gbps, you can enable or disable only the port's ability to receive pause frames.
When enabling flow control for the local port, you either fully enable the local port to send or receive frames regardless of the flow-control setting of the remote port or you set the local port to use the desired setting used by the remote port. If you enable both the local and remote ports for flow control or set the desired flow control of the other port, or set a combination of those two states, flow control is enabled for those ports.
Note
To see how the different port flow-control states affect the link flow-control state, see Table 1.

•
See the port-profile command and the state-enabled command for information about creating, configuring, and enabling port profiles.
If you attempt to inherit a port profile to the wrong type of interface, the system returns an error.
When you remove a port profile from a range of interfaces, the system undoes the configuration from the interfaces first and then removes the port-profile link. Also, when you remove a port profile, the system checks the interface configuration and either skips port-profile commands that have been overridden by directly entered interface commands or returns the command to the default value.
You can also choose a subset of interfaces from which to remove a port profile from those interfaces to which you originally applied the profile. For example, if you configured a port profile and configured 10 interfaces to inherit that port profile, you can remove the port profile from just some of the specified 10 interfaces. The port profile continues to operate on the remaining interfaces to which it is applied.
You use the port-profile configuration mode to remove an inherited port profile from an original port profile.

Usage Guidelines
You must enable the vPC feature before you can configure the peer-keepalive parameters. The vPC keepalive messages notify the system if one of the vPC peer devices goes down.
You must configure the peer-keepalive messages on each of the vPC peer devices to enable the functionality.
Although the keepalive messages can transmit over any Layer 3 topology, we recommend that you create and configure a separate VRF with Layer 3 ports on each vPC peer device as the source and destination for the vPC keepalive messages. The default ports and VRF for the peer-alive link are the management ports and the management VRF. Do not use the peer link itself for the vPC peer-keepalive messages.
Ensure that both the source and destination IP addresses used for the peer-keepalive messages are unique in your network.
The vPC keepalive messages are IP/UDP messages.
This command accepts only IPv4 addresses.
The device assumes that its vPC peer device is down when the device does not receive any messages from the peer during the timeout period. We recommend that you configure the timeout value to be three times the interval value.
You can configure either the precedence, tos, or tos-byte value to ensure throughput for the vPC peer-keepalive message.

5.1(3)
The word ethernet was removed from the command name.
Usage Guidelines
When you do not specify a module, you are configuring load balancing for the entire device. When you use the module parameter, you are configuring load balancing for the specified modules
Valid method values are as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Note
Use the module keyword to configure the module independently for port-channeling and load-balancing mode. The remaining module use the current load-balancing method configured for the entire device or the default method if you have not configured a method for the entire device. When you enter the no with the module keyword, the load-balancing method for the specified module takes the current load-balancing method that is in use for the entire device. If you configured a load-balancing method for the entire device, the specified module uses that configured method rather than the default src-dst-ip/src-dst-mac. The per module configuration takes precedence over the load-balancing method configured for the entire device.
You can configure one load-balancing mode for the entire device, a different mode for specified modules, and another mode for other specified modules. The per-module configuration takes precedence over the load-balancing configuration for the entire device.
Use the option that provides the balance criteria with the greatest variety in your configuration. For example, if the traffic on a port channel is going only to a single MAC address and you use the destination MAC address as the basis of port channel load balancing, the port channel always chooses the same link in that port channel; using source addresses or IP addresses might result in better load balancing.
This command does not require a license.

Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the port-profile command to group configuration commands and apply them to several interfaces simultaneously. All interfaces in the range must be the same type. The maximum number of interfaces that can inherit a single port profile is 512.
The port-profile name must be globally unique across types and networks.
Each port profile can be applied only to a specific type of interface; the choices are as follows:
•
•
•
Note
A subset of commands are available under the port-profile configuration mode, depending on which interface type you specify. Layer 3 and CTS commands are not supported by port profiles.
You can configure the following port-profile operations:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
You inherit the port profile when you attach the port profile to an interface or range of interfaces. The maximum number of interfaces that can inherit a single profile is 512. When you attach, or inherit, a port profile to an interface or range of interfaces, the system applies all the commands in that port profile to the interfaces.
Additionally, you can have one port profile inherit another port profile, which allows the initial port profile to assume all of the commands of the second, inherited port profile that do not conflict with the initial port profile. Four levels of inheritance are supported except for the switchport private-vlan mapping and private-vlan mapping commands, which support only one level of inheritance. See the inherit port-profile command for information about inheriting an additional port profile and assigning port profiles to specified interfaces.
The system applies the commands inherited by the interface or range of interfaces according to the following guidelines:
•
•
•
•
•
Note
If you delete a specific configuration for a specified range of interfaces using the interface configuration mode, that configuration is also deleted from the port profile for that range of interfaces only. For example, if you have a channel group inside a port profile and you are in the interface configuration mode and you delete that port channel, the specified port channel is also deleted from the port profile as well.
Just as in the device, you can enter a configuration for an object in port profiles without that object being applied to interfaces. For example, you can configure a VRF instance without it being applied to the system. If you then delete that VRF and its configurations from the port profile, the system is unaffected.
After you inherit a port profile on an interface or range of interfaces and you delete a specific configuration value, that port-profile configuration does not operate on the specified interfaces.
You must enable each specific port profile using the state-enabled command.
This command does not require a license.

Note
Table 2 identifies the ports that are grouped together to share each 10 Gb/s of bandwidth and which port in the group can be dedicated to utilize the entire bandwidth.

vdc-adminCommand History
Usage Guidelines
Use the rate-mode shared command to set the shared rate mode for the specified ports. This is the default rate mode for the module.
That is, use the rate-mode shared command to specify that each 10 Gbps of bandwidth on a 32-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module is shared by ports in the same port group.
If the port group is in dedicated rate mode, you must first administratively shut down the ports in the group, change the rate mode to shared, and then bring the ports administratively up.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to configure the shared rate mode for Ethernet ports 4/17, 4/19, 4/21, and 4/23:
switch# config tswitch(config)# interface ethernet 4/17, ethernet 4/19, ethernet 4/21, ethernet 4/23switch(config-if)# shutdownswitch(config-if)# interface ethernet 4/17switch(config-if)# rate-mode sharedswitch(config-if)# no shutdownRelated Commands

Supported User Rolesnetwork-admin
vdc-admin
Command History
Usage Guidelines
You must enable the vPC feature before you can create a vPC system priority
By default, the system elects a primary and secondary vPC peer device after you configure the vPC domain and both sides of the vPC peer link. However, you may want the system to elect a specific vPC peer device as the primary device for the vPC. Then, you would manually configure the role value for the vPC peer device that you want as primary to be lower than that of the other vPC peer device.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to create a vPC role priority:
switch# config tswitch(config)# vpc domain 5switch(config-vpc-domain)# role priority 2000Related Commands

The LACP system ID is the combination of the configurable LACP system priority value and the MAC address.
Each system that runs LACP has an LACP system priority value. You can accept the default value of 32768 for this parameter, or you can configure a value between 1 and 65535. LACP uses the system priority with the MAC address to form the system ID and also uses the system priority during negotiation with other devices. A higher system priority value means a lower priority.
The system ID is different for each virtual device context (VDC).

When you add an interface to a channel group, the software checks certain interface attributes to ensure that the interface is compatible with the channel group. For example, you cannot add a Layer 3 interface to a Layer 2 channel group. The software also checks the operational attributes for an interface before allowing that interface to participate in the port-channel aggregation.
This command displays the list of compatibility checks that the system uses.
Using the channel-group command, you can force ports with incompatible parameters to join the port channel as long as the following parameters are the same:

Usage Guidelines
Before you begin, make sure that the remote port has a speed setting that supports your changes for the local port. If you want to set the local port to use a specific speed, you must set the remote port for the same speed or set the local port to autonegotiate the speed.
The interface speed and duplex mode are interrelated, so you should configure both of their parameters at the same time.
The interface speed that you specify can affect the duplex mode used for an interface, so you should set the speed before setting the duplex mode. If you set the speed for autonegotiation, the duplex mode is automatically set to be autonegotiated. If you specify 10- or 100-Mbps speed, the port is automatically configured to use half-duplex mode, but you can specify full-duplex mode instead. If you specify a speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) or faster, full duplex is automatically used. For more details about configuring this command, see the Cisco NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide.
This command does not require a license.

Usage Guidelines
You must enter the switchport command without any keywords to configure the LAN interface as a Layer 2 interface before you can enter the switchport mode command. This action is required only if you have not entered the switchport command for the interface.
If you enter access mode, the interface goes into nontrunking mode; if you enter trunk mode, the interface goes into trunking mode.
To correctly deliver the traffic on a trunk port with several VLANs, the switch uses the IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation, or tagging, method. If an access port receives a packet with an 802.1Q tag in the header, that port drops the packet without learning its MAC source address.

Usage Guidelines
Beginning with Release 4.2, if you must configure all the vPC peer links and core-facing interfaces on a single N7K-M132XP-12 module, you should configure a track object and a track list that is associated with the Layer 3 link to the core and on all vPC peer links on both vPC peer devices. You can use this configuration to avoid dropping traffic if that particular module goes down because when all the tracked objects on the track list go down, the system does the following:
•
•
Once you configure this feature and if the module fails, the system automatically suspends all the vPC links on the primary vPC peer device and stops the peer-keepalive messages. This action forces the vPC secondary device to take over the primary role and all the vPC traffic to go to this new vPC primary device until the system stabilizes.
Create a track list that contains all the links to the core and all the vPC peer links as its object. Enable tracking for the specified vPC domain for this track list. Apply this same configuration to the other PC peer device. See the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 5.x, for information about configuring object tracking and track lists.

When PMTUD (RFC 1191) is enabled on a tunnel interface, the router performs PMTUD processing for the tunnel IP packets. The router always performs PMTUD processing on the original data IP packets that enter the tunnel. When PMTUD is enabled, no packet fragmentation occurs on the encapsulated packets that travel through the tunnel. Without packet fragmentation, there is a better throughput of TCP connections. PMTUD maximizes the use of available bandwidth in the network between the endpoints of a tunnel interface.
After PMTUD is enabled, the Don't Fragment (DF) bit of the IP packet header that is forwarded into the tunnel is copied to the IP header of the external IP packets. The external IP packet is the encapsulating IP packet. Adding the DF bit allows the PMTUD mechanism to work on the tunnel path of the tunnel. The tunnel endpoint listens for Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) unreachable too-big messages and modifies the IP MTU of the tunnel interface, if required.
When the aging timer is configured, the tunnel code resets the tunnel MTU after the aging timer expires. After the tunnel MTU is reset, a set of full-size packets with the DF bit set is required to trigger the tunnel PMTUD and lower the tunnel MTU. At least two packets are dropped each time that the tunnel MTU changes.
When PMTUD is disabled, the DF bit of an external (encapsulated) IP packet is set to zero even if the encapsulated packet has a DF bit set to one.
The min-mtu keyword sets a low limit through the MTU that can be learned through the PMTUD process. Any ICMP signal received that specifies an MTU less than the minimum MTU configured is ignored. You can use this feature to prevent a denial- of-service attack from any node that can send an ICMP message to the router that specifies a very small MTU.

Command History
Usage Guidelines
Typically, you configure 802.1Q trunks with a native VLAN ID, which strips tagging from all packets on that VLAN and allows all untagged traffic and control traffic to transit the switch. Packets that enter the switch with 802.1Q tags that match the native VLAN ID value are similarly stripped of tagging. If you choose to maintain the tagging on the native VLAN and drop untagged traffic, enter the vlan dot1q tag native command.
Use the vlan dot1q tag native command to configure the switch to tag the traffic received on the native VLAN and to admit only the 802.1Q-tagged frame, dropping any untagged traffic, including untagged traffic in the native VLAN. Control traffic continues to be accepted untagged on the native VLAN on a trunked port, even when the vlan dot1q tag native command is enabled.
Use this command to enable the tagging behavior on all native VLANs on all trunked ports on the switch.
Note
This command does not require a license.

Usage Guidelines
You must enable the vPC feature before you can create a vPC.
Once you have created the vPC domain ID and the vPC peer link, you create port channels to attach the downstream device to each vPC peer device. That is, you create one port channel from the downstream device to the primary vPC peer device and you create another port channel from the downstream device to the secondary peer device. Finally, working on each vPC peer device, you assign a vPC number to the port channel that connects to the downstream device. You will experience minimal traffic disruption when you are creating vPCs.
Note
This command does not require a license.

Usage Guidelines
You must enable the vPC feature before you can create a vPC domain.
You put all vPC interfaces, including the vPC peer link, on both of the vPC peer devices into the identical vPC domain. You must have unique vPC domain numbers within each VDC. In Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3), you can have only one vPC per VDC. Once you create a vPC domain, the system automatically creates a vPC system MAC address that is unique to that vPC.
You also use this command to enter the vpc-domain command mode in order to configure vPC parameters.
This command does not require a license.

Usage Guidelines
You must enable the vPC feature before you can create a vPC peer link.
You configure a port channel using 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports on the N7K-M132XP-12 module. We recommend that you use the 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports for the channel in dedicated mode and configure at least two of these ports on two different modules into the port channel for redundancy.
Use the vpc peer-link command to make that port channel a vPC peer link. The system returns an error message if you attempt to configure a 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface as a vPC peer link.
After you configure the vPC peer device and the vPC peer link is established, the system creates a new MAC address for the vPC and decides which vPC device is the primary device and which is the secondary device.
This command does not require a license.
