How to use Nexus 5548 Unified or Universal Ports

Hi Guys

I found this information ridicolously difficult to find, so I thought I would post it on my blog so hopefully you don't have to go through the stress that I just did.

To make a port on a nexus 5548 (A universal port) both Ethernet and Fibre channel, enter these commands:


switch(config)# slot 1
switch(config-slot)# port 32 type fc 
 
 
Where slot is 1 when your trying to configure the main ports on the actual chassis itself, and slot is 2 when your using an expansion module. You can also specify a range of ports with port 21-32 for example.

Short and sweet but I hope it help's someone out there!

  1. Thanks! The command I wound up running for the expansion module (N55-M16UP) was:
    slot 2
    port 13-16 type fc
