Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5000 And 3750 Switch Redundancy
Oct 31, 2012My network consist of that network device. cisco catalyst 3750 with stackwise, 2xnexsus 5000 series and servers.servers connected to nexsus switch. nexsus connect to 3750.
Each server have two link, one of them connect nexsus1 and other connect to nexsus2 switch.(same traffic) each nexsus have one link to 3750. At 3750 the nexsus link configurate etherchannel. but the flapping occur at 3750.
i understand that at 2 nexsus link have the same server source mac address so the flapping occur at 3750. how i solve this problem?
Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5000 Switch To Be Accessed And Managed Inband
Nov 28, 2011we have e requirement for a Nexus 5000 switch to be accessed and managed inband, ie the Management interface can't be connected to the rest of our networks management VLAN because the switch is remote and only connected via fibre. We have enabled the interface VLAN feature and configured an interface VLAN but can't seem to PING the IP address configured on it ?

Well, the same user than have access to another Cisco equipment, with user test1 by sample, can configure anything in the equipment. But in the nexus 5000, el command "show user-account" indicate just the "network-operator" role. Well, I patch this situation with the next commands:

Well, when I do a telnet into the nexus, I can shut the interfaces, config and anything. But, when I ingress by console, I can not to configure the interfaces.I understand that the Nexus 5000 the Tacacs configuration is global for VTY and Console (different in the Cisco equipment Routers by sample).

Cisco Switching/Routing :: VPC On Nexus 5000 With Catalyst 6500 (no VSS)?
Jan 23, 2011The diagram below is the configuration we are looking to deploy, that way because we do not have VSS on the 6500 switches so we can not create only one Etherchannel to the 6500s.Our blades inserted on the UCS chassis have INTEL dual port cards, so they do not support full failover.
Questions I have are.
- Is this my best deployment choice?
- vPC highly depend on the management interface on the Nexus 5000 for the keep alive peer monitoring, so what is going to happen if the vPC brakes due to:
- one of the 6500 goes down
- STP?
- What is going to happend with the Etherchannels on the remaining 6500?
- the Management interface goes down for any other reason
- which one is going to be the primary NEXUS?
Below is the list of devices involved and the configuration for the Nexus 5000 and 65000.
Devices
· 2 Cisco Catalyst with two WS-SUP720-3B each (no VSS)
· 2 Cisco Nexus 5010
· 2 Cisco UCS 6120xp

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5000 Jumbo Packets?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5000 Jumbo Frames
Apr 16, 2013We have a requirement to send span traffic to a destination port for monitoring purposes on two 5000s with some 2000 fex boxes attached.
Some of the servers are making use of frames larger than 1500. we have not changed any mtu configuration on the 5000 since installation, and I can see the policy maps is still on 1500.
My first assumption would be that frames larger than 1500 will not be dropped, but it seemingly not (see below). is there a reason why the switch would forward jumbo frames? Also, is there a limitation on MTU for span traffic? There is a MTU command under the span session, but the maximum is 1518. From what I can read the frame will be truncated if it exceeds this. Does that mean the fragments will be dropped?

May 16, 2013We have our Nexus as our default gateway (101.1) and the default VLAN1 is setup with two subnets 101.X and 102.X. The DHCP server is using a superscope setup to accomodate the overflow of devices requesting IPs on 101, so when 101 is consumed persons are able to obtain a 102.X IP address. The setup is basic on superscope. The issue is some times the routing to the firewall with a 102.X is not always 100%. Somedays all goes well and the 102 subnet is routed out to the firewall and its a good day. However, such as today a 102.X address is not routing as it did 24 hours ago. I am perplexed as to why this is behaving unpredicatable. Here is running-config for VLAN1 to show the 102 as secondary address to VLAN1.

Feb 12, 2012we do not have an out-of-band management network and setting one up at this point is not being planned. We are mainly a swtiched environment and the only devices that are using L3 are the core switch for WAN purposes and the lab because it is mimicking the production environment. I have two Nexus switches that are sitting on the other side of a 3750 switch which is currently acting as a L3 device because this is a pre-production environment for a new project. We had an issue with management of the devices before but our workaround was to put them on the management vlan direcltly off of the core, allowing only management traffic to pass by means of mgmt0 on each device. The problem I'm having now is that I've now setup the mgmt0 interfaces on both for the keepalive link for vpc only (vpc traffic is going accross 2x10gb connections and the link to the 3750 is 1gb each trunked) and have lost my ability to use the mgmt0 connections for management. How to connect my management connection through either the 3750 or directly off the core switch (as that's what will happen once it's put into production)

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5000 / MTU Mismatch In Layer 2 Network?
Dec 26, 2012I am just wondering on how mismatched MTU sizes are handled in Layer-2 networks and also inside a particular switches internal architecture.Layer 2 devices do not do fragmentation in the even of MTU mismatch. is this because Layer 2 devices do not re-write header information (like inserting destination IP and next hop MAC into the newly created frame.) i believe this is what they call per-hop behaviour? if this not the reason, then...? assuming this is the reason, let me proceed to my next question. When we set MTU on an interface , there is no mention of direction (ingress or egress), so i take this as means in both directions. so if a jumbo frame comes in on an interface which is set to recieve jumbo frames and forwarding decision is made and the frame is scheduled to egress via an interface whose MTU is not set for Jumbo frames, will the switch drope the frame at the egress buffer? if not, this implies MTU is an ingress property(only for incoming packets). But, again if it drops the packet, then MTU shoud have been system wide or global configuration as opposed to interface level configuration (just like nexus 5000).

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Unexpected Traffic On Nexus 5000 Trunk Port?
Feb 6, 2013So I took a laptop with wireshark and plugged it into a nexus 5000 port that is configured as a trunk with 3 vlans allowed on it. The laptop was seeing all kinds of traffic on the wire, most of it was not involving my laptop.
For example: Server A VLAN 10= 10.10.10.1 Server B VLAN 20= 10.20.20.1 and wireshark laptop is plugged into a trunk port which is allowing those vlan's. The vlan's are routable.
10.10.10.3 is seeing the entire conversation when 10.10.10.1 backs up 10.20.20.1 even though it has no reason to see it. It is as if the trunk is spanning traffic to the laptop port. No span is setup however. It's really weird. This is not just broadcast traffic, but actual tcp taffic between Server A and B. Why would a trunk port see traffic between 2 other servers talking to each other on the vlan.
Trunk port configuration below:
Interface Ethernet 141/1/3

P1-5KA is the Active with P1-5KB as Standby.
I can ping between the four using their SVI addresses. I am unable to ping the HSRP virtual address .1 from P2-5KA or P2-5KB.I can ping ok only if I shut the VPC between P2-5KA or P2-5KB or define another mac address under the HSRP config other than the system default. IP Packet debugs show that ping sourced from P2-5KB to P1-5KA loop between P2-5KA -- P2-5KB. Pings sourced from P2-5KA to P1-5KA are transmitted but none of the 4 device debugs show a receive. both peer-gateway and delay restore 120 have been configured under all vpc domains and all units rebooted.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5000 Esx Host Lose Connection To Net-App SAN For 10-16 Seconds
Dec 4, 2011I have two 5000. Uplinks are Vpc to nexus 7000 and downlink are connected to Esx host. When I reboot one 5000, some Esx host lose connection to the NetApp SAN (Iscsi and CIFS) for 10-16 seconds. This is enought to generate errors and event corruption on disk. The 10-16 blackout occur when the switch as reloaded.
My theory is that VPC interface comme up 10-16 seconds after the edge interface(ESX). This create a blackhole effect for ESX host.

Oct 15, 2012I am designing a network for my client where I have to implement a 10 Gig end to end connectivity. The major factor of concern from my management is about scalability (space to include more 10Gig servers as the nodes grow up). I have suggested Cisco 5596UP with 2232 PP as this gives ample amount of 10Gig ports. The setup has to be implemented across 2 different datacenters located 40 Kms apart, connected with 10Gig DC Interconnect.
I understand that Cisco Nexus 2232 is a Layer 2 Only switch and would need to communicate with parent 5K switch very frequently. Is it necessary to have the 2K and 5K pair in the same datacenter or in proximity? Is it possible to have the SFP uplinks connected to the DC interconnect? Because we have two datacenters located 40 Kms apart and having 1*Layer 3 - 5K switch at DC A with Layer 2 - 2K nexus Switch at DC B will be cost effective. We do require more 10Gig ports and not much requirement on Layer 3 usage. What are the type of communication that would be much frequent between 2K and 5K?

Before i do that, I just wanted to make sure that that's the correct way to do it or if there are actual commands that I will need to run on the devices to properly power down. I know that the FI do have a command to reboot, but i need them to completely be power down.
