Purpose
Command or Action
Disables local traffic on the interface.
shutdown
Step 3
Shutting down the interface before enabling
VN-Tag mode prevents the dynamic creation of
a fixed vEthernet interface.
Note
Enables port extender support on the interface.

Step 4
Enters interface configuration mode for the second
Ethernet port.

Step 8
Binds the virtual interface to the physical interface and
the specified port channel.
