E.2 Verify the configuration
When the port channel of the upstream switch has been properly configured, the port channel on the
FN IOM will come up. A series of messages will be logged on the FN IOM indicating that port channel
128 is up and ports connected to the servers downstream have been brought up as well:
Changed interface state to up: Po 128
Downstream interface cleared from UFD error-disabled: Te 0/1
Downstream interface cleared from UFD error-disabled: Te 0/2
Downstream interface cleared from UFD error-disabled: Te 0/3
…etc.
