Creating an EtherChannel Host Interface
To connect to a downstream server from a Cisco Nexus Fabric Extender you can create a EtherChannel host
interface. An EtherChannel host interface can have only one host interface as a member depending on the
fabric extender model. The Cisco Nexus 2148T allows only one interface member per fabric extender, newer
fabric extenders allow up to 8 members of the same port-channel on a single fabric extender. You need to
create an EtherChannel host interface to configure a vPC on it that uses the Fabric Extender topology.
Before You Begin
Ensure that you have enabled the vPC feature.
Ensure that the connected Fabric Extender is online.
You must configure both switches on either side of the vPC peer link with the following procedure.

Purpose
(Optional)
Saves the change persistently through reboots and restarts by copying
the running configuration to the startup configuration.
