Cisco Switching/Routing :: 5020 / LACP Between Nexus 5K (VPC) And HP Servers?
Jan 22, 2012
I have two N5K (5020) switches with NX-OS - 5.0(3)N2(1). These two switches form VPC domain: peer-link = 2*10Gb ports (1/17-18) and peer-keepalive link over managements ports.Also I have two HP servers with two 10 Gb ports on each server.Each server conected by one link to each N5K switch (1/9-10). N5K downlinks configured as access ports with LACP Active mode.There is only one VLAN (1).When "no shut" command entered on N5K access ports - ports going in "not connected" status, begin flap and then going in "linkFlapErrDisabled" state.In attach - "sh run" from N5K.

I have an alert from monitoring system about: “ fan for this system is not in the NORMAL state”. In the switch I found that the problem is with fex 3, see below:
Nexus5020# sh env fex 3 fan
Fan Fex: 3:
------------------------------------------------------
Fan Model Hw Status
------------------------------------------------------
Chassis N2K-C2148-FAN -- failure
PS-1 N2K-PAC-200W -- OK
PS-2 N2K-PAC-200W -- OK
Technician said: fans appear to be operational, BUT the only thing that appears abnormal is STAT light is amber (not sure what it means).
Also, if I compare the temperature from module 3 with module 2 (which doesn’t have an alert) is almost the same, this is why I think the fan is working fine, since module 3 is not hotter that module 2.
What I can do to reset this fan (chassis)?

We have two Nexus switches in our network, one of them is Nexus5020 other Nexus5596UP. System image is identical on both switches 5.2(1)N1(4). When we try to setup VPC between these switches we see that all configured vlans on VPC peer link between Nexus switches are blocked by spanning tree protocol with message "Bridge Assurance Inconsistent, VPC Peer-link Inconsistent". We still can't solve this problem.

I'm trying to create a vpc between a Nexus 5010 and Nexus 5020 switch. I recently upgraded the software so they are running the same version. I connect get a vpc link. Is there something wrong with my setup? Is a vpc between a 5010 and 5020 even possible? They are connected using a pair of Intel X520's in 802.3AD teaming mode. [code]

Our customer is willing to have a Cisco Nexus 5020 to provide server connectivity and this Nexus would go connected to their core switch 6509. They are concern about Spanning tree compatibility between the Nexus and the 6509. Are they fully compatible for Spanning tree?

I have a customer who is having some issues with 5m passive HP twinax cables, 537965-001, with a Chelsio 10G NIC. Aside from NIC driver issue, if NX-OS recognizes this SFP+, should it be expected to work in a 5020 running 4.2(1)N1(1)? Whether Cisco has certified passive HP twinax cables? I have included output to 'transceiver details' to a Cisco twinax and the HP (WL GORE) cables.

I need to implement LACP HP servers mostly DL 380 g7 with Intel based dual port with two types of Cisco equipment first scenario server connected to 3750x stack of 4 switch's .second scenario same server type connected to two Cisco Nexsus 5596 . My question regarding two type of connection.Is it possible to do active active ?Would it give fault tolerance ?With HP LACP implementation is there known issue or should i expect latency with such configuration?What is the maximal lag- channel group that is possible per type?

We are planning to have attach topology with nexus 5548 using vpc. Let me know if this i possible. I want to configure dual NIC linux server using LACP active mode to connect to two 5548 in VPC for redudancy as well as use of full access layer bandwidth. On nexus this will be access port in single port channel in single VPC link.

We have 2 nexus 5K installed in our data centre recently and we are connecting new three servers to nexus switches. Each server has 2 10GB ports . 1 port of serverA is connected 5K1 and other port is connected 5K2 ( sameway other 2 server connected to Neuxs 5K1 and 5K2 Switches).So do we need to create each VPC with Portchannel (like VPC 1,2 and 3 ) for each server connection?

My Data Center has one single core switch where is connected several servers, one port is the link to the router wan and other port is the link to the FW, my boss wants to install 2 nexus in order to replace the single switch. All my network has only one address, for example 192.168.10.0/24 if I connect two nexus 7010 in VPC and Domain, each nexus is going to has 2 modules with 48 port 10/100/1000 rj45 and i wan to connect servers directly to each nexus, with this figure i'm going to have a group of servers connected in two different nexus, Do they can have the same network 192.168.10.0/24 considering that the nexus are in the same vdc and vlan and have only one gateway for both groups? If the answer is positive, which nexus would be the gate way for that address, the primary or secondary? Or i must have a different address for both group of servers, i mean for example 192.168.10.0/24 and 192.168.12.0/24?thus each nexus would be the gateway for that new address?
To have two nexus connected by VPC in a Domain mean that one computer connected to one nexus can share the same address or vlan with other computer connected to the other nexus????

I am trying to create a port channel between HP servers (4 nic) and two nexus 2k. The server side its a single team with 803.2ad fault taulerence and on the nexus side it have created two port channel (port channel 1 for nexus 2k1 and port channel 2 for nexus 2k2) and made them ACTIVE (channel group mode active)
But when i add a another server on different ports and port channel them the same way as the above server on nexus 2k1 and nexus 2k2, the first server stops pinging. so i have to sht down the first port channel and reopen them - then it works, however it says NO NETWORK ACCESS on the servers (running windows 2008). the only way is to reboot the server i cant be doing this on a production network.

We have a setup of 2 Nexus 7000 chassis and several fexes (N2K-C2248TP-1GE). The fexes are connected through a port-channel to a single nexus 7000 (no vpc). (Fex 1 to Nexus 1, fex 2 to Nexus 2, fex 3 to nexus 1 etc).Are there guidelines on how to connect a server to those fexes.
I can see several possible scenario's at our site. I have drawn some scenario's on a design. I can't find detailed information on which setup is possible and which is not. The goal is to have as much redundancy as we can.When using scenario 1, do I configure an orphan port on the uplink to this server?

I have two different model's of GLC-T SFP's. One is PN 30-1410-02 the other is PN 30-1410-03. The -02 will not work in Nexus 5020 or an ASR-1000 router that I have, but works fine in my Cisco Wireless Controller. The -03 works fine in any device. My problem is when ordering, you can not specify the -03 they get ordered as GLC-T and none of my suppliers can assure me that I would get the -03.What is the difference between these two?

When transferring traffic between two VLANs my throughput rate seems to drop to about 1.5 - 3.0 megabits / second.
My setup is like this...
Two Nexus 5020 switches. (switch01 and switch02)
Two Nexus 2232PP fabric extender switches. (switch03 and switch04)
Two Dell R815s with Chelsio and Intel NICs. (host1 and host2)
The servers run Xenserver 6.0, but as part of testing with this I've tried installing RedHat 6.2, VMware ESX 5.0 (vsphere 5).
The issue occurs when using trunking and transferring data from one VLAN to another. Example...
VM1 is in VLAN401 with an IP address of 10.100.40.40. The VM is on Host1. VM2 is in VLAN402 with an IP address of 10.100.50.50. The VM is on Host2.
I've been using a network throughput tool called iPerf to test and I find that I can only get a throughput rate of about 3.0megabits.
If I switch VM2 to be in VLAN401 with an IP address of 10.100.40.41 I get a throughput rate of about 6.7gigabits/sec.
In the above scenario, I'm using a Layer3 interface on the Nexus 5020, but in production we use a Vyatta virtual firewall.
I worked with Citrix for about 3 months and that was a dead end.

I've got LACP-enabled port-channels between a Cisco 3750 stack and a few different switches (some Cisco 3750s and some Juniper EX2200s). The Ciscos are all sending slow LACP updates, the Junipers are sending fast LACP updates (but the Cisco they connect with is responding with slow LACP updates).
I have a couple of questions:
1) what are the pros and cons of slow vs fast updates? my research has led me to the conclusion that fast updates are better for network resiliency as long as you have plenty of bandwidth overhead (which I do at the moment). is there anything to add to this conclusion?
2) is there any way to configure the Cisco 3750s for fast updates?

We're trying to configure our Cisco 4507 (Supervisor Engine IV) to allow a new Dell server with a pair of Broadcom 5708 GigE NIC's to aggregate its NIC's to give us a 2gbps link to the switch.
So far we seem to have got the team and LACP up and enabled, but the adaptor that the Broadcom Admin Util creates for the team is only showing a 1gbps connection where I would have expected it to show as 2gbps.
The individual NICs show as connected at 1gbps. We're not Cisco experts so are struggling on how to get the 2 NICs to aggregate.
On the server side we've done nothing other than create a team using 802.3ad LINk Aggregation using LACP.
This is what I think the relevent output from "sho conf" is, more available if needed.

I am trying to configure a 6509 as the passive receiver from a Dell Force10 10Ge switch with 2 sfp to 2 gig ports on our 6509 switch, I see LACP is up on both sides but cannot pass traffic, I have only 2 vlans that will carry across the aggregate link from our vmware boxes, this is just a temp until I get a 10ge in our 6509 chassis.

We have 2x WS-C3560X-48 with the 10Gb SFP C3KX-NM-10G module.I want to use the 10Gb SFP (with a redundant 1Gb link) between each of the switches.Below is the configuration what I think I should use. Is this correct?
SWITCH1
int TE1/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode active
[code]....
We also want to utilise Link Agrrigation for the servers that attach to the switch. Would this config be correct?
port-channel load-balance src-ip
int range x
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 1 (They are all on the default vlan)
spanning-tree portfast
channel-group x mode active
(Then I would configure the LACP config on the server) Is there anything I am missing?

Is it possible to configure LACP etherchannel to a Catalyst 3750? Playing around with the SMB switches for the first time.
I know how to do it on the 3750 but am having trouble figuring out the sge2000p.

I have a cisco 3560E switch setup with LACP, when using LACP i receive alot of packet loss / output drops
When a ping from the server behind LACP:
--- google.com ping statistics ---
44 packets transmitted, 39 received, 11% packet loss, time 42990ms
what would cause this packet loss with lacp?
some output from the switch:
Port-channel12 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
Hardware is EtherChannel, address is d0d0.fd58.7390 (bia d0d0.fd58.7390)

If after having an active peer-link port-channel between a couple of nexus 7010 I change lacp system-priority on both boxes and then I add a new member interface on that port-channel , that interface will be aligned with new lacp system-priority value but the old member do not and so I have to reload those modules which include old member interface.

we have 6500 series switches by default all port channel loadbalancing is src-dst-ip.Now we have a requirement to change LACP load balance method to src-dst-port.
1) If we change LACP loadbalance method whar are the effects we are going have on our core network and all the existing servers
