port group interface

Use port group interface to assign a physical interface to a PEX port on the parent fabric.

Use undo port group interface to remove a physical interface from a PEX port.

Syntax

port group interface interface-type interface-number

undo port group interface interface-name

Default

No physical interfaces are assigned to a PEX port.

Views

PEX port view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

interface-type interface-number: Specifies a physical interface by its type and number.

interface-name: Specifies a physical interface in the interface-typeinterface-number format. No space is allowed between the interface-type and interface-number arguments.

Usage guidelines

Execute this command multiple times to bind multiple physical interfaces to a PEX port. You can bind a maximum of six physical interfaces to a PEX port. The physical interfaces are aggregated automatically for backup and load balancing. The default configuration is automatically restored on the interfaces after the assignment.

You must connect a PEX port's all physical interfaces to the same PEX.

If a physical interface has been assigned to a PEX port, you cannot assign the interface to any other PEX port.

When you use the ports in a group for PEX links, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

The port grouping rules are as follows:

A PEX port must have a minimum of one physical interface in Forwarding state for its PEX to communicate with the parent fabric. If a PEX port has only one physical interface in Forwarding state, the PEX will reboot if any of the following events occur:

Examples

# Assign physical interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to PEX port 3.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] pex-port 3
[Sysname-pex-port3] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/1

# Assign physical interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/6 to PEX port 4. In this example, Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/5 to Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/8 are in the same port group.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface range name pex interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/5 to ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/8
[Sysname-if-range-pex] shutdown
[Sysname-if-range-pex] quit
[Sysname] pex-port 4
[Sysname-pex-port4] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/6
[Sysname-pex-port4] quit
[Sysname] interface range name pex
[Sysname-if-range-pex] undo shutdown
[Sysname-if-range-pex] quit
