I made an excel file that you put in a line
Description Vlan Port-Channel Port
and it makes the config for a nexus to get the port/port channel up and running.

For example
APACHE1 172 197 17
gets you

interface Ethernet116/1/17
description APACHE1
switchport access vlan 172
spanning-tree port-priority 128
spanning-tree port type edge
flowcontrol receive on
channel-group 197
no shut
interface port-channel197
description APACHE1
vpc 197
switchport access vlan 172
flowcontrol receive on
no shut


Anyone want it? (needs a little fiddling so you can specify the fex, I'll make the changes if anyone wants it.)

Why are you adding the vpc info directly to the port?

Also, here's an idea of what I typically use:

Code:
=IF(Q5>0,CONCATENATE("interface ",Q5,CHAR(10),
" switchport",CHAR(10),
" switchport mode access",CHAR(10),
" switchport access vlan ",Q6,CHAR(10),


I'll line this up on my cells and just drag the whole page down. Or, better yet, give this to my customers up front so they can keep track of their ports and generate accurate config.

Hmm yours looks much simpler than mine

That's what our ports look like when I do a sh run int Ethernet116/1/17

channel-group 197 on the physical port to tie it to the port channel, then it goes to the port-channel interface and builds it.

Is there a better way to do this?

interface Ethernet116/1/17
description APACHE1
switchport access vlan 172
spanning-tree port-priority 128
spanning-tree port type edge
flowcontrol receive on
channel-group 197
no shut


interface port-channel197
description APACHE1
vpc 197
switchport access vlan 172
flowcontrol receive on
no shut

Mine isn't code, it's a simple(ish) Excel formula. Also, my above post was wrong. I didn't see any whitespace between the physical int and the po, so I thought it was the same config.

I'd be interested in seeing the excel sheet, just to have an idea of what y'all are doing in excel. That is one app I wish I knew better but my use of it has always been very simple.

I used to do something similar. One of my old jobs we deployed switches on a regular basis (2 or 3 a week). We had an excel document that we tracked the management IP, hostname, serial number, and location of the switch. We then had a Word document that was setup for a mail merge with that excel file to pull the management IP and hostname. All you had to do was document the switch in the xls file. Open the word doc, do the mail merge, and copy and paste the entire config to the switch. We had one that was similar for our remote sites that had a router with GRE tunnel. Document all the IPs for the remote site in xls, merge with word doc. Copy and paste. Made it so anyone could deploy a site with very little help.

I love mail-merge, when I 1st came to networking and I knew nothing all dorm the switches (~70) needed a new config, took a co-worker 2 weeks to build all the configs. A few months ago we needed new configs once again only I was the one building them... 2 hours latter I have all the configs done :-)

No problem
As long as I am throwing around nifty excel files I'll throw in this one too.

http://dhimes.com/Files/Make%20%20reservations.xlsx

this one will give you the command line command to make a DHCP reservation for a windows DHCP server, not very useful for 1 or 2 reservations, but nice when you get requests for 80 reservations :-)

This is a lot more sophisticated than how I do it. I use the "&" to concatenate, which makes the formulas long and ugly. Then I use Notepad++ to find and replace new lines with the config.

Thanks!
