Configuring CE & FP(fabricpath) VLANS 008

on DC2
On N7K-5 , N7K-7 configure Classical Ethernet
on N7K-7 to 10 Configure Fabricpath Vlans:

Vlan ID   Name          Vlan mode
31      FP-DATA1         FP
41      FP-DATA2         FP
80      DCI-SITE         CE
90      DCI-DATA         CE

N7K-5         80,90
N7K-7         31.41,80,90
N7K-8 to 10   31,41

Solutions:

for classical vlan , its same like other catalyst switches

vlan 80

name DC1-SITE

vlan 90

name DCI-DATA

for fabricpath vlans , we have to do these things:

nx7(config)# install feature-set fabricpath

!

on nexus 7 to nexus 10 do this : 

install feature-set fabricpath

feature-set fabricpath

!

vlan 31

name FP-DATA1

mode fabricpath

!

vlan 41

name FP-DATA2

mode fabricpath

!

vlan 80

name DC1-SITE

vlan 90

name DCI-DATA

!

nx7(config-vlan)# sh vlan
