Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP - (Physical Address Changes) Messages In SolarWinds

Dec 9, 2012

We have recently upgraded oor LAN and we are using couple of Nexus5548UP switches in the core with 2960 stacks as access switches. Each access switches stack is connnected to both core switches with link being port-chanels and VPCs. All is working fine, but our SolarWinds management platform (NPM) is being flooded with "Physical Address changed" events. Here is an example of messages:
 
NSW_Core_2 - Ethernet1/7 Physical Address changed from 000000003811 to 73616D653811
NSW_Core_2 - Ethernet1/7 Physical Address changed from 200B82B43811 to 000000003811
 
For each interface I have messages like these repeating.I am not sure what those messages means or if there is actually anything wrong. Performance of the network is good, there are no errors on any interfaces and I do not see anything related in the switch loggs.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP / Two Management Interfaces For N5k

Jan 10, 2013

I have a Nexus 5548UP that would be managed by two organizations. Is it possible to set IP addresses for mgmt0 and an SVI (or an L3 interface) without using the L3 daughter card? I don't want to route between VLANs, just to separate management traffic.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP / L3 Cannot Do Inter-VRF Communications?

Aug 28, 2012

I'm trying to get a node in SVI1 on VRF1 to speak to another node in SVI2 on VRF2 to reach each other.  After hours of failure, I went to outside resources.  Everything I read on the internet says it's not possible on this platform and at least one TAC engineer seems to agree.
 
I just can't believe such a high-end data center switch is not capable of handling such a basic feature.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Replacing C4507R-E With Nexus 5548UP?

Jul 25, 2012

We currently have an environment with a 4507 as the core switch connected to four stacks of 3750e's in the wiring closets. A pair of Nexus 5548UP's also hangs off the 4507, but at the moment more or less dedicated to a certain purpose..The 5548UP's have the L3 daughter card installed.
 
My question is: Can a pair of Nexus 5548UP's do a C4507's job? Would we be able to decomission the 4507 and replace with the existing 5548UP's + FEXes?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP To 2248 Design

Aug 10, 2012

This past networkers I was at the Cisco booth discussing how the 2248 can connect to the 5548 and have server connectivity.  It was told to me that now, as of a fairly recent NX-OS release, you can have the 2248 going dual-homed to both 5548 via VPC and then have a server connected to both 2248 and be in active-active mode.  Is this correct?
 
When we first deployed our 5548 and 2248 we had to put the 2248 in a straight pin mode, where it only had connections to one 5548 and then the server would dual connect to the 2248's and be in active-active mode.  I was told that this changed with an NX-OS release however documentation still seems to be fragmented on what exactly is the case.

How separate is the management interface on a Nexus 5548?
 
In context - what's the risk of having a layer 2 only Nx5K in a DMZ and running the managment ports down into an internal managment VLAN, to form peer-keepalive links and software upgrades.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP With L3 Card / Inter-VRF Not Possible?

Aug 28, 2012

I just received a Nexus 5548 to configure as the core of the Datacenter LAN.  Is it true that the VRFs created cannot talk to each other???  I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this and at least one TAC engineer half-heartedly believes it's not possible, either.
 
Basically, I'm trying to get an SVI in VRF1 to be able to talk to an device on another SVI in VRF2.
 
I can't believe this high-end switch, that is so capable in every regard, cannot handle this feature.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: LLDP Chassis Discovery On Nexus 5548UP?

May 1, 2012

I'm seeing several error messages like these in the logs of my Nexus 5548UP switches.

2012 Apr 24 16:39:41.470 SSV_5K_SW2 %LLDP-5-SERVER_ADDED: Server with Chassis ID aaaa.bbbb.cccc Port ID mgmt0 management address X.X.X.X discovered on local port mgmt0 in vlan 0 with enabled capability Bridge

I will say that these 5548s are serving as the distribution layer for a UCS chassis (2x 6120 FIs) but didn't know what kind of visibility the Nexus would have into that - the chassis keyword is what's alluding to this in my mind, and I'm seeing these messages whenever interfaces that connect downstream to the fabric interconnects are brought up or down.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP Connectivity With Router 2811

Aug 15, 2012

In the existing network we have Cisco 2811 router connected to Corporate MPLS cloud. Cisco 2811 is connected to Catalyst 6509 switch(set based IOS with MSFC card). Along with that we have two Catalyst 5509. We are upgrading the access layer by replacing catalyst switches with Nexus 5548 & 2248.
 
For a purpose of testing I have connected 5548 & 2248. Created cPC and ether channels between two. SVI and HSRP configuredon 5548. I am terminating 2651 (test router) on 2248 port 101/1/1. On 5548 I have enabled EIGRP on vlans. I am unable to ping to 2651 from nexus switch 5548 and vice-versa. I can see both devices on CDP but I do not see eigrp neighborship formed.
 
What configuration should go in 2248 and 2651 in order to establish a connection between two? If test is successful then I will connect 2811 to 2248 during actual migration. I assume that in testing if it works for 2651 then it must work on 2811 router.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP Change Peer Keep Alive Link

Apr 19, 2013

I have a pair of Nexus 5548UPs that have some high priority servers running on them.  Servers are ESX hosts running Nexus 1000v's.  Each host has multple connections in a VPC to both 5548s.  We have been having intermittant ping loss and slowness of traffic to the VM's on these hosts.  I was poking around trying to figure out what the issue could be and found that the peer-keepalive command was not set to send the heart beat across the mgmt0 interface.  I would like to change this to point it accross the mgmt0 interface. Any tips or advice for me on making this change with production servers running on the switches?  I do not want to cause any loss to any systems when I make this change.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5548UP With 2232TM Fabric Extender And Server Teaming

Need clarification on the VPC with 5k and 2248 Fabric Extenders. My question  is can each fabric extender uplink to two different 5ks, and  at the same time, have servers connected to two both fabric extenders with a VPC.So basically, the server NIC will team with two different fabric extenders, and each fabric extender will connect to two different 5k's.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Enable Jumbo Frames On Single VLAN (Nexus 5548UP)

We are currently using two Nexus 5548UP's as our Datacenter Network Core.  I have a pretty simple objective:  I would like to enable Jumbo Frames on a single VLAN only(VLAN 65).  This VLAN is used strictly for backups.  I do not want to enable Jumbo Frames on the other VLANs(VLANs 1-10).  Im not sure what the best way to do this is.....or if it is even possible but I am hoping to get some configuration examples.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 7000 Not Generating Log For Duplicate IP Address?

Sep 19, 2011

Recently I had came across 1 issue where one of the server IP  had conflicted with VIP of Nexus core switch. The blade server was physically  connected to Nexus Distribution switch which in turn connects to Nexus  core. Neither Nexus core nor distribution had generate any logs in  regards to IP conflict which ideally happens on Cisco catalyst  switches. I haven't find any document on cisco as well as on internet for  this issue . I dont know what logging need to enable on Nexus for this specific  case . There are different logging levels define for every feature like hsrp,  ip,monitor etc... 

We have Nexus 7k with latest release 4.2(6)  Software
BIOS: version 3.22.0

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 5508 WLC And Nexus 7K - Clients Cannot Obtain IP Address Intermittently

Jan 22, 2013

I have a strange behavior between a WLC 5508 (version 7.0.116.0) and NEXUS7010.
 
WLC
The WLC is configured in DHCP Bridging Mode (it sends DHCP requests without change)
 
Nexus
The VLAN interface is configured as follows
 
interface Vlan501
  ip access-group acl-int-vlan501-in-1 in
  no ip redirects
  ip address 10.12.56.4/21
  ip ospf network broadcast
  ip router ospf 100 area 10.23.0.0
  hsrp 51
   
Clients can not obtain an IP address intermittently. If I deactivates the ACL when the problem appears(when the client can not obtain an IP@) the probleme is resolved
 
Note: Before the WLC was connected to Catalyst 6500 and worked properly for 2 years (with same configuration)
 
I saw this note about differences between DHCP relay on the NEXUS7000/NXOS an Ip helper one the 6500/IOS URL. Do you think the problem may come from the DHCP relay or ACL on the NEXUS.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 7010 New Users Were Not Getting Ip Address From Dhcp Server

Jun 8, 2013

We  have 2 nexus 7010 switches configured with HSRP in the network. For all  the vlans core1 is Master and Core2 is standby. In the current setup we  have external dhcp server and dhcp relay is configured for all the  vlans on Master and standby switch. The setup is running the IOS 5.2
 
Activity Done: During  the Maintainacne activity, we isolated core1 switch in the network by  disabling the vpc/keepalive and all the uplinks from access switch. The  core2 switch was master for all the vlans.
 
Issue observed: It  has been observed that new users were not getting ip address from the  dhcp server. The ethereal capture showed that dhcp server was not  getting the dhcp requests from the core2 switch. We disabled the dhcp  feature in core2 and enabled again with dhcp relay again configured on  vlan interfaces .even after doing this no change was observed in  behaviour. Finally we got core1 back in network by enabling all the  links.
 
Observation: The  moment VPC link came up between the core switches, users started  getting ip's from dhcp. Then we started enabling all the uplinks on  core1.Core1 again become master for all the vlans and users continued  getting ip’s. Network running fine.
 
Further Testing

1. For  one of the vlan, core 2 switch has been made primary and for new users  checked the dhcp functionality and it was working fine. The aim was to  identify if anything wrong on core 2 related to dhcp relay

2.Again  we changed the priority for this vlan and made core1 master for the  same. This time we disabled this vlan on core1 and tried new user with  core 2 became master and dhcp functionality worked fine for new user.  Actually in this case we have simulated the same behaviour when we  observed the issue with only difference of VPC was not available during  the issue time as core 1 was isolated form network 
Inputs needed.

Is  there any known behaviour for dhcp functionality when VPC is  unavailable? If we see the test scenario2 (wherein core1 was master for  the vlan and we disable this vlan on core 1 and core 2 was able to relay  dhcp requests for new users in this vlan.) it was actually same as  scenario we observed during issue time..
