Configuring the PortChannel Mode

By default, the CLI and the Device Manager create the PortChannel in ON mode in the NPIV core switches and ACTIVE mode on the NPV switches. DCNM-SAN creates all PortChannels in ACTIVE mode. We recommend that you create PortChannels in ACTIVE mode.

Restrictions

• An F PortChannel is supported only on ACTIVE mode.

Detailed Steps

To configure ACTIVE mode using DCNM-SAN, follow these steps:

1. Expand ISLs and then select Port Channels in the Physical Attributes pane.

You see the PortChannels configured in the Information pane.

2. Click the Protocols tab, and then from the Mode drop-down menu, select the appropriate mode for the PortChannel.
3. Click the Apply Changes icon to save any modifications.
