I have INE AAP and INE Workbook to backup the learnings. What ever are possible on Simulator i shall document the same.
2. Creating Port-Channel with n5k
* -> in order to add a new-interface to a port-channel, existing port-channel
had to be removed from vlan , then add the port to the port-channel and then
reconfigure the port-channel interface back-to vlan participation.
-> The above point needs to be tested, mostly has to do with order of operations. Generally speaking, the port-channel will always be trunking as we will heading for VPC.
* This cannot be done on Nxos Simulator.
You got to enable “feature lacp” for basic port-channel to work.
