When implementing Cisco Nexus 5k switches (5596UP), I connected a server to a dual homed 2000 FEX (2232T), the port belonging to a virtual port channel. However, the port changed the status from notconnected to inactive and remained so.

  • I verified that speed and duplex match, i.e. auto/auto, tested also 1000/full.
  • I verified that the corresponding VLAN exists and is the access VLAN on this port.
  • Default port settings, except this access VLAN.

What may be wrong, and how can I correct it?

It turned out, that the configuration of this port did not match on both Nexus 5k, as I configured just one switch at first.

  • I configured the port on the second Nexus switch in the same way.
  • I plan to implement the config sync feature so that issue should not happen again.

Once the configuration of the ports of the virtual port channel matched, the link came up.
