Task 1: View and Validate Key Cisco Nexus 7010 Hardware and
Software Parameters
In this task, you will examine the Cisco Nexus 7010 Hardware and software parameters.

Note The lab topology includes two Cisco Nexus 7010 platforms. Each Nexus 7010 switch is
shared between the pods and has multiple virtual device contexts (VDCs). You will manage
the VDC assigned to your pod.

Activity Procedure
Complete these steps:
Step 1 Connect to your assigned N7K11-podX switch (where X is your pod number) using
the provided access information (username admin with password pod1nxos,
pod2nxos, or pod3nxos, depending on your pod).

Note The output example is for POD1. The range of interfaces assigned to each POD is different.
Check the LAB Aids or do some show commands from your assigned VDC to find out which
ports are assigned to your VDC.

Step 2 Determine the system software version that is currently running on the Cisco Nexus
7010 Switch.

Task 2 cannot be performed in this lab, because command
attach requires users with role network-admin. network-admin
role is not supported within VDC. Only users defined in the
main VDC with network-admin role can switchto VDC to
perform command attach. Task 2 is kept in the instruction for
your information.
Task 2: Attach to Individual Modules
In this task, you will connect to one of the modules installed in the Cisco Nexus 7010 and
perform some basic tasks.

Note You will conduct this task on Cisco Nexus 7010 equipment shared between the pods. For
that reason, you will be allowed only to examine the setup and will not be able to change
any parameters if not required by the task.

Activity Procedure
Complete these steps:
Step 1 Connect to your assigned VDC N7K11-podX (where X is your pod number) using
the provided access information.

Note The output example is for POD1. The range of interfaces assigned to each POD is different.
Check the LAB Aids or do some show commands from your assigned VDC to find out which
ports are assigned to your VDC.

Step 2 Use the attach command to connect directly to an individual module.
