Line card configuration - Nexus 7000

Hi Guys,

Just checking up with a command set i have to push on a Nexus 7000.

So we have a Nexus 7000 10 slot chassis with a mix of F1 and M1 cards in there with 2 sups. We have run out of 10g ports and there is a new card in the chassis for some time. It's a F2E card and according to the matrix of Cisco it should perfectly work with all the other F1 M1 cards.

The only thing i have to do is adding the card to our 2 VDC's. We have a VDC for production traffic and one for the backup traffic, it's a 48 port card so i want to split the card across both VDC's.

The configuration i need is: limit-resource module-type m1 m1xl f2e (have to add that one)

This needs to be done on both VDC's and then i can assign ports form that card. Now a couple of questions arise i couldn't find in the documentation:

  • I have re-paste the whole command with f2e added to the string to ensure i'm allowing all older cards to. If i only add f2e i have the fear that i will only add f2e and all older cards will be removed

  • Say for a weird reason the switch goes haywire, i lose configuration. Can i just reboot the Nexus 7K, as long as i don't commit the configuration to startup i should be fine rebooting it and it should come back like before.

Any pointers or suggestions?
