Configuration Example for F Port Trunking

This example shows how to configure trunking and bring up the TF-TNP link between an F port in the NPIV
core switch and an NP port in the NPV switch:
Step 1
Enable the F port trunking and channeling protocol on the MDS core switch:
Example:
switch(config)# feature fport-channel-trunk
Step 2
Enable NPIV on the MDS core switch:
Example:
switch(config)# feature npiv
Step 3
Configure the port mode to auto, F, or Fx on the MDS core switch:
Example:
switch(config)# interface fc1/2
switch(config-if)# switchport mode F
Step 4 Configure the trunk mode to ON on the MDS core switch:
Example:
switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode on
Step 5 Configure the port mode to NP on the NPV switch:
Example:
switch(config)# interface fc1/2
switch(config-if)# switchport mode NP
Step 6 Configure the trunk mode to ON on the NPV switch:
Example:
switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode on
Step 7 Set the port administrative state on NPIV and NPV switches to ON:
Example:
switch(config)# interface fc1/2
switch(config-if)# shut
