Cisco Switching/Routing :: Change Number Of Internal Port-channel On Nexus 5000

Jan 3, 2012

I'm in the middle of a Nexus 5000 project and recognized today while configuring port-channels, that some of the interface numbers are reserved for internal use.
 
Is it possible to change or configure which port-channel interface numbers are allocated for internal use by NX-OS?
 
Unfortunatly I wasn't able to find a solution for this issue in the offical Nexus documentation, the search function of this forum or Google. If I did miss something or didn't look careful enough at the Nexus docs, I'm also happy with RTFM (... fine manual) responses and links to the info :-)
 
Additional info:
 
Nexus5k(config)# interface port-channel 128 ignored port-channel128: internally used, configuration not allowed
 
Port-Channels 111, 113, 115, 119, 121, 200, 211, 222 were created manually, but 127 - 129 were not.
 
Nexus5k# show port-channel usage
Total 11 port-channel numbers used

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Unexpected Traffic On Nexus 5000 Trunk Port?

Feb 6, 2013

So 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 
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10, 20

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Create A Port Channel Between HP Servers (4 Nic) And Two Nexus 2k?

May 9, 2012

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.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548 - Hardware Port Channel Resource

Mar 30, 2012

I am having hard time in understanding the hardware port channel resource concept in Nexus 5Ks. Which scenario is considered as a hardware port channel and which is not. According to Cisco documentation, 5548UP switch with layer 3 daughter card only supports 8 hardware port channels, does this mean we can connect only 8 dual homed Fex to those 5Ks.Will a dual homed fex consumes a hardware port channel?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5k Adding And Removing Vlans In Port-channel (vpc)

Dec 4, 2012

I am a bit confused by the output of 'show run' and 'show run switch-profile' that pertains to a port-channel interface configured in a switch-profile. My main gaol is to find out how can I add/remove the allowed vlans the port-channel (configured as trunk) carries. The setup is like this. I have 2 N5k in vPC domain and Etherner1/11 on both switches is configured as trunk vPC that connects to a core switch. When I issue ‘show run’ for the port-channel and physical interface I get the following output. [code] From above it seems the switch-profile configuration is missing the 'switchport trunk allowed vlan' in the port-channel interface. If want I to remove vlan 30 from the allowed vlan, should I go under the switch-profile mode and remove vlan 30 from the allowed list even though the switch-profile configuration seems to be missing this.

Nov 8, 2011

We have a couple of IBM blade chassis with Nexus 4000I 10G blade switch in it. Four 10G ports from each Nexus 4000I switch are bundled into a port channel and connected to Nexus 7K. On the 4k end, one port in the port channel is doing down and coming up as an idividual port. After few minutes it is going down again and coming up as a port-channel member port. It is happening quite offen. [code]

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Create A Port Channel That Spans Two Different Nexus 2248TP Switches

Oct 20, 2011

I have a router on  which I would like to create a port channel that spans two different Nexus 2248TP switches, and then create a couple subinterfaces on the router's po interface.  I've done this successfully on my primary router, but the config doesn't seem to work on the backup router.  The primary is running IOS 15, while the backup is running 12.4.25d advanced IP.  I do see the trunk come up from the switch side, and my router subinterfaces and po interface show up, however I'm not able to get anywhere from the router.  It's not even able to reach other hosts on the same network.  As soon as I remove the port channel config and use the physical interface and assign the same address used on the port channel interface, everything works as expected and I have connectivity.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 7000 - (service Policy Type Queuing Output) On Port-channel?

Jan 24, 2013

We are planning to implement the following policy map for egress traffic on an Nexus 7000:
 
policy-map type queuing dd-1p3q1t-8e-out-10G    class type queuing 1p3q1t-8e-out-pq1      priority level 1      shape percent 10     class type queuing 1p3q1t-8e-out-q2        bandwidth remaining percent 5    class type queuing 1p3q1t-8e-out-q3        bandwidth remaining percent 5    class type queuing 1p3q1t-8e-out-q-default        bandwidth remaining percent 90
 
We are using two N7K's to which is one N5K connected through a vPC. From the N5k we use a port-channel with 4 * 10G. Two of this four ports are connected to on N7K and the other two are connected to the other N7K. On the n/K's we are using vPC.
 
My question now are:
 
1. Where i have to connect the policy map? To the port-channel or on each physical interface?

2. When i have to connect this policy to the port-channel, how does i have to set the shape percent, when i would like to reserve 10% from the 40G?    Does i have to set the shape value to 5% on each N7K because vPC?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5000 Tacacs

I have a little problem. My customer is using TACP-PLUS ALPHA (F4.0.3.alpha.v9). 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:

aaa authorization config-commands default group TACSERVER local
aaa authorization commands default group TACSERVER local
 
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, 2011

The 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
·         2 UCS Chassis
     -    4  Cisco  B200-M1 blades (2 each chassis)
          - Dual 10Gb Intel card (1 per blade)

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5000 Jumbo Frames

Apr 16, 2013

We 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?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5000 LAN Routing Connection Deployment

May 16, 2013

We 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.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Setting Up Nexus 5000(s) For Inband Management?

Feb 12, 2012

we 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)

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 / MTU Mismatch In Layer 2 Network?

Dec 26, 2012

I 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).
