Information About Module Pre-Provisioning
The pre-provisioning feature allows you to preconfigure interfaces before inserting or attaching a module. If
a module goes offline, you can also use pre-provisioning to make changes to the interface configurations for
the offline module. When a pre-provisioned module comes online, the pre-provisioning configurations are
applied. If any configurations were not applied, a syslog is generated. The syslog lists the configurations that
were not accepted.
In some Virtual Port Channel (vPC) topologies, pre-provisioning is required for the configuration
synchronization feature. Pre-provisioning allows you to synchronize the configuration for an interface that is
online with one peer but offline with another peer.
Supported Hardware
For more information about supported hardware for your software version, refer to the release notes.
Upgrades and Downgrades
When upgrading from Cisco NX-OS Release 4.2(1)N2(1) and earlier releases to Cisco NX-OS Release
5.0(2)N1(1), there are no configuration implications. When upgrading from a release that supports
pre-provisioning to another release that supports the feature including InService Software Upgrades (ISSU),
pre-provisioned configurations are retained across the upgrade.
When downgrading from an image that supports pre-provisioning to an image that does not support
pre-provisioning, you are prompted to remove pre-provisioning configurations.
