I Commands
This chapter describes the Cisco NX-OS virtual port channel (vPC) commands that begin with I.
import interface
To import an interface configuration to a switch profile, use the import interface command.
import interface {ethernet slot/[QSFP-module/]port | port-channel channel-no}
Syntax Description
Command Default
None
Command Modes
Switch profile configuration mode
Command History
6.0(2)N1(2)
Support for the QSFP+ GEM was added.
5.2(1)N1(1)
This command was introduced.
Usage Guidelines
When no option is specified with the import command, an empty switch profile is created. You can then selectively add the configuration that is needed to be synchronized with the peer switch.
You can import a switch profile based on the set of commands that you want to import. The following three ways can be used to import commands that were added using the configuration terminal mode:
1.
Add selected commands to the switch profile.
2.
3.
When you import commands to a switch profile, the switch profile buffer must be empty.
Use the commit command to complete the import process and move the configuration into the switch profile. Because configuration changes are not supported during the import process, if new commands are added before entering the commit command, the switch profile remains unsaved and the switch remains in the switch profile import mode (config-sync-sp-import). You can remove the added commands or use the abort command to stop the import. Unsaved configurations are lost if the process is aborted. New commands can be added to the switch profile after the import is complete.
Examples
This example shows how to import the Ethernet interface configuration to a switch profile named s5010 on switch 1 of the peer:
switch# config syncEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.switch(config-sync)# switch-profile s5010Switch-Profile started, Profile ID is 1switch(config-sync-sp)# show switch-profile s5010 bufferswitch-profile : s5010----------------------------------------------------------Seq-no Command----------------------------------------------------------switch(config-sync-sp)# import interface ethernet 1/1switch(config-sync-sp)# show switch-profile bufferswitch-profile : s5010----------------------------------------------------------Seq-no Command----------------------------------------------------------1 interface Ethernet1/1switch(config-sync-sp-import)# commitVerification successful...Proceeding to apply configuration.

import running-config
To import the running configuration to a switch profile, use the import running-config command.
import running-config [exclude interface ethernet]
Syntax Description
Command Default
None
Command Modes
Switch profile configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The import running-config exclude interface ethernet command discards all physical interface commands in the running configuration during the import operation.
When no option is specified with the import command, an empty switch profile is created. You can then selectively add the configuration that is needed to be synchronized with the peer switch.

inherit port-profile
To inherit a port profile into an existing profile or to apply a port profile configuration to an interface, use the inherit port-profile command. To remove the inheritance, use the no form of this command.
inherit port-profile port-profile-name
no inherit port-profile port-profile-name
Syntax Description
Command Default
None
Command Modes
Port profile configuration mode
Interface configuration mode
Virtual Ethernet interface configuration modeCommand History
Usage Guidelines
You inherit the port profile when you attach the port profile to an interface or range of interfaces. When you attach, or inherit, a port profile to an interface or range of interfaces, the switch applies all the commands in that port profile to the interfaces. A port profile configured for an interface type can be applied only to that type of interface. For example, a port profile created for VLAN interfaces must be attached onto a VLAN interface. If you delete a port profile after you attach the port profile to an interface, the port profile configuration is removed from the interface.
To apply the port profile configurations to the interfaces, you must enable the specific port profile.
Examples
This example shows how to inherit a port profile named ppEth that is configured for Ethernet interfaces into an existing port profile named test:
switch# configure terminalswitch(config)# port-profile testswitch(config-port-prof)# inherit port-profile ppEthswitch(config-port-prof)#This example shows how to assign a port profile named ppEth that is configured for Ethernet interfaces to a range of Ethernet interfaces:

ip arp synchronize
To enable Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) synchronization between the virtual port channel (vPC) peers, use the ip arp synchronize comand. To disable ARP synchronization, use the no form of this command.
ip arp synchronize
no ip arp synchronize
Syntax Description
This command ahs no arguments or keywords.
Command Default
Disabled
Command Modes
vPC domain configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The ARP table sync feature overcomes the delay involved in ARP table restoration that can be triggered when one of the switches in the vPC domain goes offline and comes back online and also when there are peer-link port channel flaps. Enabling ARP on a vPC domain improves convergence times for unicast traffic.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to enable ARP synchronization on a vPC domain:
switch# configure terminalswitch(config)# vpc domain 1switch(config-vpc-domain)# ip arp synchronizeswitch(config-vpc-domain)#This example shows how to disable ARP synchronization on a vPC domain:
switch# configure terminalswitch(config)# vpc domain 1switch(config-vpc-domain)# no ip arp synchronizeswitch(config-vpc-domain)#Related Commands
show ip arp vpc-statistics
Displays the global ARP statistics for vPCs.
show running-config vpc
Displays the running configuration information for vPCs.
ip igmp snooping mrouter vpc-peer-link
To configure a static connection to a virtual port channel (vPC) peer link, use the ip igmp snooping mrouter vpc-peer-link command. To remove the static connection, use the no form of this command.
ip igmp snooping mrouter vpc-peer-link
no ip igmp snooping mrouter vpc-peer-link
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Command Default
None
Command Modes
Global configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines
By default, a vPC Peer-link is considered an IGMP snooping mrouter port. The multicast traffic is sent over to a peer-link for the source VLAN and for each receiving VLAN. If you use the no ip igmp snooping mrouter vpc-peer-link command, the multicast traffic is not sent over to a peer-link for the source VLAN and receiver VLAN unless there are orphan ports in the VLAN.
Note
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to configure a static connection to a vPC peer link:
switch(config)#ip igmp snooping mrouter vpc-peer-linkswitch(config)#This example shows how to remove a static connection to a vPC peer link:
switch(config)#no ip igmp snooping mrouter vpc-peer-linkWarning: IGMP Snooping mrouter vpc-peer-link should be globally disabled on peerVPC switch as well.switch(config)#Related Commands
