Cisco Switching/Routing :: SFP-GE-T Module Support On Nexus 5548?
Jan 7, 2013
I am trying to install SFP-GE-T module on Nexus 5548UP Switch, but is giving the ‘SFP validation Failed’ error. The details of the switch is given below
Model : N5K-C5548UP-FA
The interface is configured with speed 1000 before inserting the module, still we are getting the same error. PFA logs for more details We have 8 Nos of SFP-GE-T modules , all are giving same error. We tried to insert the module on onboard as well as expansion module.
The same module is working fine on Cisco 3750X-24T-L Switch As per the Hardware installation guide , SFP-GE-T transciever is supported on N5K platform. Please extend your support in configuring SFP-GE-T module on N5K platform? We tried with SFP-GE-S module on the same switch , and the same is found working fine.

Can 10Gbase SFP+ module support 1GB traffic on a Nexus 5596T.
The module for 10Gb is Cisco SFP-10G-SR. My scenario is connecting the 10GB SFP+ module to an access switch 1GB fiber uplink, will this work?

I have Nexus 5548UP, Version version 5.0(3)N2(2b), with a flat configured network. Customer has put several IP subnets on one Vlan. In one subnet is an Siemens SPS wich connects to a Server. This SPS is not reachable since I send a ping from the N5k, then everything works fine. Sniffering that port no arp requests from the N5k are captured. That hapens with every device (Siemens SPS) in the network. Every other clients and server are working fine and there are no problems.

I've been searching in Google/Cisco about the eth_port_sec hap reset and cannot find any reason, just something about the same error but in different technology:

CSCub36000 #SNMP polling on eth_port_security objects no longer causes an eth_port_sec hap reset.I just to want to be sure, is the same reason...Or do you know something than can cause it on a Nexus Switch?

We have just purchased and installed the L3 daughter card for our 5548UPs and have also installed the L3 Enterprise Services pkg. The problem is, I cannot enable the EIGRP feature even though we have the Ent Svc lic. After doing a little more research, I see that the Lan Base lic is required to enable the L3 card and many of the L3 features (the card is currently in an "offline" state).
From what I have read on this board, the Lan Base lic is a free license that should be included with the L3 daughter card -- however, Cisco licensing will not issue me that license without a sales order (even though a Nexus engineer said it was included, the licensing group will not issue with an official sales order). Well, our vendor ordered the card and the Ent Svcs lic but for some reason we were never sent a PAK for the LAN Base lic.

using the 55xx as a L3 Distribution switch or even as a Core. By enabling the L3 features does it allow you enabled L3 SVI's for VLAN interfaces or are there interfaces on the daughter card that are used for routing instead?

The Nexus 5548 is running 5.1.3.N2.1a and has the L3 daughter card (N55-D160L3)I have the EIGRP feature enabled. By the way, when doing a 'sh feature' four EIGRP features show up like this: [code] To create the L3 SVI, I go into config mode and attempt to type 'interface vlan 10'. but this doesn't work. These are the only options under the keyword 'interface':
- ethernet
- loopback
- mgmt
- port-channel
I must be missing something simple but can't seem to see what that is. What do I need to do in order to create an L3 SVI on this 5548?

I want to configure management for some Nexus 5548's?I wanted to manage the switches via an SVI. I have read the following document which gives details about the Management SVI but doesn't answer all questions.[URL]I am not running any layer 3 functionality on the switch, no layer3 license (which it mentions in the above link) Will I still be able to create a management SVI. I know I will need to enable the feature 'interface-vlan' to setup a Management SVI, does that require a license?

I encountered problem while trying to copy file from Nexus 5548 to my ftp server (proteus - 192.168.12.220 - the Nexus switch is able to resolve name proteus correctly to 192.168.12.220). See below the working and not working scenarios. I have serached through Cisco Bug Database but unable to find any related bug associated to this problem. This Nexus is running the following NX-OS version.

We have two 5548 switches connected to a pair of 6509 running in VSS mode. I am trying to understand the benefit of having bridge assurance on the uplink ports.
If we have the command spanning-tree port type network enabled we cannot do a non disruptive upgrade. If there is bridge assurance on the uplink it warns you of this. Yet if I do not run bridge assurance on the uplinks I can do a upgrade without any disruption.
Why in god would I enable bridge assurance on this VPC link if I cannot do a non disruptive upgrade?

I need to upgrade the code on our two Nexus 5548's in order to facilitate the installation of a few FEX's, but due to the fact that seemingly all of my port-channels are in the STP DESG forwarding state, an ISSU upgrade is not possible. Everything connected directly to our 5548's are utilizing VPC's, including an HP Blade chassis, and several Netapp devices. If I follow the normal upgrade route, should I experience an outage, or should the secondary switch just continue passing traffic?

I'm trying to setup SNMPv3 on a Nexus 5548. We are using SNMPv3 on 3750's without any issue, but haveing issues getting it setup on the Nexus.I have been using the following link for the setup following it line by line. [URL]The part that I'm having issues with is when I try to enforce SNMP message encryption on a per user basis. When I issue snmp-server user (username) enforcePriv, I get warning: unable to update CLI users database. reason: role does not exist grounp not found.

I am setting up a new environment with 2 5548's and some 2248TP-1GE Fex's and Im running into an issue. I have the peer link and peer-keepalive link that appear to be good. When I configure the fex and vpc for the fex manually on each switch without pre-provisioning the slot the fex comes online and everything appears to be good. I can see all the ineterfaces when doing a sh int br and the sh fex detail shows all good. When I do the exact same thing but pre-provision the slot the fex stays in an offline state. Ive tried disabling the port(s) connected to the fex while configuring everything then enabling them but same thing. [code]

regarding PVLANs and the Nexus, my understanding is that we cannot configure Private VLANs on a FEX trunk port with a NX-OS release older than 5.1(3)N2(1) for the Nexus5548... Is there any known workaround for this limitation (appart from performing a SW upgrade)?

I am working for an Air Force client and am adding a handful of 5548s into their network. My question is how Tacacs+ is configured. My hands are tied in regards to testing in an operational environment so I want to ensure the configs are correct prior to deployment/maintenance window and avoid any remote issues.
I have read the "Cisco Press - TACACS+" config guide and it was somewhat vague in regards to operational deployment.
My basic NX-OS configs are as follows:
- feature tacacs+- tacacs-server key 7 "002A52xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx8"- tacacs-server host 128.xx.xx.xx timeout 10- tacacs-server host 128.xx.xx.xx timeout 10- tacacs-server directed-request
When I try to set the following command string, aaa authentication login default group tacacs+ local, the NX-OS asks me the input a "server group name". There are no server groups configured. Do I need them? Can I get by without configuring a group name because the client probably will not.
The Cisco IOS devices are configured with normal aaa authentication/authorization parameters. Also, do the VTY ports default to sshv2 and the correct tacacs+ parameters with the "transport input ssh" command (not available)?

I am trying to interconnect a pair of Nexus 5548 at adjacent sites, using 2 2960-S switches at each site, the reason being that the Multimode Fiber between the sites will only support 100mb and I need this up while I finish having SMF laid.
I have attached a diagram, just debating whether to use etherchannel or vPC - would like to hear some opinions...
Assume the interconnect between the 5548's needs to be 802.1q trunk

just a simple question. Is it possible to use a nexus 5548 UP switch as a layer 3 router between different vlans on the switch without the layer 3 card ? Or is there no 5548 as a router with the layer 3 card ?

Current our environment is the following:
Core1 ---- Core2
| |
Nexus5k
| |
N2k, N2k, N2k (FEX)
||
Servers, hosts, etc..
We would like to add another Nexus5k to this topology. However, it has to be a zero downtime infrastructure add-on. When setting up the keep-alive, peer-link, vPC and vdc domain, will there be any upset in network traffic on the current N5k?Also, are the Nexus5k configurations synchronized or are they independent from one another? Before setting up the new 5k, should i configure it to teh 6509's, and vPC's to the Nexus2k's before setting up peer-link?

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.

I've just plugged in 4 Nexus5548 switches and ran through the initial setup without any issues. However, the fans seem to be stuck on full speed. At the moment they're the loudest thing in the server room.
I know this isn't the most recent OS however I was hoping to avoid updating if necessary as I don’t have the service agreement linked to my account and can’t download the update without it. Is there anything else I can try first or anything I have missed?

We are trying to connect 2 nexus 5558UP (5.1.(3)N1(1)) with 10G-SFP+-LR interfaces. The interfaces are not genuine cisco's (smartoptics) but as far as we can tell, they are accepted by the hardware. If we take a look at the optical levels, we can see that the switches can see eachother (double-checked by bringing down one interface to see if optical levels really disappears) on optical level, well within limits. I found a notice about changing debounce timers but this doesn't work, setting it to 0 or 1000 doesn't make a difference. Copies of the different show int commands can be found at the end of this text.

The server team has asked me to implement jumbo frames on a single VLAN, the one they use for v motion. We have two pairs of 5548s, each pair running VPC for most connections. I am aware of many postings that describe how to enable jumbo frames globally, like this:
policy-map type network-qos jumbo
class type network-qos class-default
[code].....
I am not clear how I can extend this principle to one VLAN only.
Also, I am aware of a posting [URL], that shows some pitfalls of implementing jumbo frames in a VPC configuration. Pretty well all my connections are VPC, including all the FEXes, which are all dual-homed. In many cases, the VPC extends through to the servers so that the servers run port.channels across two FEXes. I am unclear whether the pitfalls are still valid, or whether I have to wait until my next maintenance slot (6 months away) to implement jumbo frames. Can jumbo frames be implement safely on the fly? How does enabling jumbo frames fit in with "conf sync" mode?

I currently have two Nexus 5548UP switches in my environment running the latest code (n5000-uk9.5.1.3.N1.1a.bin). Both of these switches are connected via a VPC Peer Link (two ports on each switch in an Ether Channel) and a VPC-Keep Alive Link (a dedicated port). Hosts connect to each switch via a VPC for both IPV4 and FCOE.
As of right now, everything works. I currently have a stack of two 3750 switches that each Nexus is connected to. This stack is doing all the Intra-VLAN Layer 3 Routing for the Nexus Switches. However, I plan to get rid of the 3750s, and move the Layer 3 Routing the Nexus 5548's, so the backplane is 10 Gig instead of 1 Gig.. I have the Layer 3 Daughter Card installed in both switches, as well as the LAN_BASE license.
So, at the moment, I am trying to find the best way to accomplish Layer 3 Routing on these two switches. Since the Nexus switches are not stacked, and the FCOE portion of HA is taking care of by the Multipathing agent on each host, I believe am just concerned with providing Intra-VLAN routing in an HA build where if one switch goes down, VLANs still route through the other switch.
Again, since the Nexus switches are not stacked, I am guessing the best way to handle this is with HSRP, but my experience with that has always been with routers that have a switch in the middle. Can I make HSRP work without having a switch between the Nexus switches? Can I track the VPC peer link, or how do I do it? I guess I am looking for a sample config.
Let's pretend I had two VLANs:
VLAN 20:
10.20.20.254 - GW and 10.20.20.0/24
VLAN 40
10.40.40.254 - GW and 10.40.40.0/24
And I wanted the Nexus switches to route these VLANs regardless of which switch was up / down..

I have two 5548s as core. 8 FEXs are multihomed (advanced vPC topology?) to both the cores.Suppose, I have to configure a bunch of ports on the FEXs, say Eth101/1/10 - 20. I would login to the first core and apply the configs.
My question is - do I have to do the same on the second core also? Or would the first core replicate the stuff to the second core? I know about port-profiles/CFS and such. But, without that would it automatically sync to second core?
For testing purpose, I went to Core 1 Eth101/1/10 and put a description "TEST". Wrote the config. After 5 minutes logged into second core and did show run Eth101/1/10. But, the description "TEST" didn't show up there.
Also, doing sh run on any FEX port is faster on one of the cores and very slow on second core... all the FEXs have 20 GB uplink to core 1 & 2 (so total 40GB in vPC, max pinning 1)

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?
