Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nx 5548UP After Reboot Log Shows Vpc Down
May 23, 2013
We have a Nx5548up pair connected to FI6248 via a vPC. We had to reboot a FI (in order to configure more FC ports) ; following that reboot, we meet many issues.The first log shows the vPC down showing the FI rebbot.2013 May 23 12:31:45 sw-n5kup-fr-eqx-01 %ETH_PORT_CHANNEL-5 PORT_INDIVIDUAL_DOWN: individual port Ethernet1/2 is down
I have followed every piece of cisco documentation I could find on this and I still can't get vPC configured to actually work. The VLANs stay in a suspended state so no traffic flows across. Below is my configuration:vrf context management ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.86.0.1vlan 1,vlan 86 name I.S_Infrastructure,vpc domain 1 role priority 1000 peer-keepalive destination 10.86.0.4,interface Vlan1,interface Vlan86 no shutdown description I.S._Infrastructure ip address 10.86.0.1/24,interface port-channel1 switchport mode trunk vpc peer-link spanning-tree port type normal,interface Ethernet1/1 switchport mode trunk channel-group 1 mode active,interface Ethernet1/2 switchport mode trunk channel-group 1 mode active ,interface Ethernet1/3,escription Connection to Mgmt0 switchport access vlan 86 speed 1000.
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.
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.
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?
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.
I am looking to implement a QoS policy on a pair of Nexus 5548 UPs. FCoE is a factor here. I have created the following configuration and would like to get a few pairs of eyes to take a look at this for a quick sanity check.
How to make sure this config is valid. Also, I realize I'm applying an MTU of 9216 to all classes right now, this will be phased out incrementally.

I have 2 sites located approximately 30 kilometers apart. I will call them site 1 and site 2.The sites are connected by a Layer 2 1GB fibre connection.I would like to add 2 X Cisco nexus 5548UP switches at site 1 and connect these 2 X Cisco nexus 5548UP switches via GLBP
I would then like to add 2 X Cisco nexus 5548UP switches at site 2 and connect these 2 X Cisco nexus 5548UP switches via GLBP.I would then like to connect the 2 X Cisco nexus 5548UP switches at site 1 and the 2 X Cisco nexus 5548UP switches at site 2 via GLBP.
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.
The best option for load balancing between 2 X Cisco nexus 5548UP switches located at one site and connecting to 2 X Cisco nexus 5548UP switches located at another site.
The sites are connected via a 1GB fibre connection. I am unable to use GLBP until GLBP is supported in further software releases.
I'm seeing several error messages like these in the logs of my Nexus 5548UP switches.

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.
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.
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. [Code] ..........
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.
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.
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.
On our ASA 5510 we have two security contexts. After opening ASDM I can see and manage admin context, but cannot see second context. I can do changes to second context via CLI but as probably you know it's easier and quicker doing it via ASDM.
I have installed a WS-X4448-GB-RJ45 on a 4503 chasis. I could not get input or output rate, just shows 0 bit/seg wether or not is forwarding traffic. I would like to know if I have to make any configuration or workaround. The IOS version is 12.2(37)SG1.
I have a remote 3G Cisco router (Cisco 819) that occastionally drops it's EzyVPN and the local guys just reboot the device so when I log on and check the logs it is empty. My syslog server shows very little, can I keep the logs locally or up the logging to the syslog server?
I have 3560X-24T-S switches with IP Services loaded at remote sites that I have been having troubles with. Originally, they had IOS 12.2(58)SE1 on them. I have up to four diverse paths via point-to-point microwave at the remote sites. The Microwave equipment is by Microwave Networks and is a Prodeus M series which Ethernet support. The original issue manifested itself as hardware loopback errors on some of the ports that were connected to the microwave links.
My experience in the past has been that when a hardware loopback error occurred it is usually a bad switch port. In this case however, if I disconnected all of the microwave Ethernet links and rebooted the switch and then connected the Ethernet connections to the microwave links again, everything works fine. No hardware loopback errors. That is, until the next switch reboot. Then the hardware loopback error would return. Interestingly, it would come back on different ports connected to the microwave links every time. So if a reboot was done without disconnecting the microwave Ethernet links the hardware loopback error would change from one microwave link to another after each reboot.
I then went through and read the lengthy release notes for IOS version 15.0(2)SE and found several fixes that I thought could fix my issue. So I downloaded it and updated a couple of the offending switches (not all of them were having this problem). After going through the second update required to resolve the 'open file error' that happens going between 12.2(58)SE1 and 15.0(2)SE the problem seemed to be resolved on the offending switches. So, I went ahead and updated the IOS on all of the switches with point-to-point microwave connections.
I now have one switch that was updated that is crashing and rebooting continuously when the Ethernet links for the point-to-point microwave are connected. Again, if I disconnect all the microwave links and reboot, it comes up fine ands stays fine when the microwave links are connected back up. It will work fine until the next reboot and then the crash and reboot loop starts over again. Below is a portion of the putty log when the crash occurs:

I am facing a problem with a cisco 6509 that goes into rommon every time i restart. If i give the command
rommon 1> boot
it will pick up the IOS on the sup-bootdisk: or bootdisk: and boots up but i dont understand why on reboot it wont pick up this IOS and boot itself and why do i have to write boot command everytime on rommon.
I have also explicitly given the command "boot system bootdisk:IOSNAME.bin" in the startup config file but still no luck.
I tried to put QoS in a WS-C3560CG-8TC-S version 12.2(55)EX2.It shows 0 traffic in class-map. Here is the config My question is why I can not see the traffic via class-map?it should in the default Q if incorrect mark.I erased the config and config with the autoQoS, shows the same result.

Need your expert input in sorting out the below problem.I have a cisco 6513 switch which is going into SP mode after a reboot whci i have done during BCP activity in my organization.Below are the log for your reference.
Yesterday my router was hangs and my services was stuck. I start the router hard booted and it works fine.This was second time i was facing this kind of scenario. The attached are the "show tech support" of the cisco router 2821.
We recently wanted to swap our existing WS-SUP720-base with a WS-SUP720-3B in a 6513 chassis.Had the existing configuration config saved in a txt file and replaced the supervisor. Booting went fine and we pasted in the original config. There was one failure message about unnsupported command but didnt take further notice."boot system flash sup-bootflash:" was probaly the line that the 720-3B didnt support.After wr mem and reload it went in continious loop and rebooting due to inncorrect boot device. Had to put back the old supervisor and have now the 720-3B in a 6504 chassis. Tried some commands in rommon, but are not getting any further.
Our 6500 was reboot by self with crash info and i found it was happened by CPU HOG. The log is below for CPU HOG and you can see many times from attached crash info file.
%SYS-SP-3-CPUHOG: Task is running for (16000)m secs, more than (2000)m secs (15/12),process = RPC pagp_switch_mp2sp. [code]....
I think this process made high CPU & memory issue and then there were internal communication fail.. isn't it? So i need to know what PRC pagp_switch_mp2sp is to prevent next issue.
I am configuring a Cat 2960 port for connecting a VOIP phone, authenticated by MAB. On connecting the phone, I get the port authenticated and assigned to the correct VLAN, with LLDP-MED advertising the correct voice vlan. However, I then see no traffic from the phone on the switch. I can see the MAC address of the phone is learned in the right VLANs, but the mac address is showing as "Drop", which normally means the address is statically configured to be blocked. There is no static mac address table blocking configured on the switch.
