Why the nexus 2k has 8 uplink ports ?
the nexus 7k or 5k can be devided into 4 virtual devices ( using vdc)and making 8 uplink ports in the 2k will allow us to use the extender for all the 4 vdc's with 2 uplinks ( for redundancy ) from each vdc
we have several uplink ports on a verity of cisco switches connecting to the nexus 7000, recording CRC errors.most are trunked ports with the following configuration. [code]
View 2 Replies View Relatedwe have just purchased a few 3750x's that we intend to add to our 3750g stacks. We've purchased the 10gb uplink modules, C3kx-nm-10gt, but when they are installed they are not appearing in the switches web gui nor can you configure them correctly. If we upgrade a 3750x to 15.0.1 they seem to work fine. All of our current 3750g's are running 12.2(58)SE2 IPBASE so we don't really want to have to upgrade them all to 15.0.1
Are we missing something or do the 10gb modules only work properly with ios 15.0.1?
I know in the past on earlier models of the supervisors that you couldn't use all eight uplink ports(4 on each supervisor) simultaneously when you have two supervisors on the chassis. Is this the same case for the 10Gb uplinks on the supervisor 7-E on the 4500 chassis? I tried doing my research but couldn't find an answer.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Nexus 5500 which is the core of our network and we have access layer switches uplinked to it. I know by default the qos markings will be trusted.
1. On a trunk uplink from an access layer switch to the Nexus, I have "mls qos trust dscp". Will the DSCP marking be preserved when it reaches the Nexus?
2. How do I do prioritization of voice traffic on an uplink on Nexus based on DSCP EF?

View 3 Replies View Relatedwe have two nexus 7k connected via vPC peer. We have edge switch connected to the core using HSRP via vPC.Now we have 1 orphan port connected to each Nexus (WLC).The problem is i cant seem to connect / ping the WLC (only 1 of them) that is connected to the orphan port and i think it is probably due to the packet arriving at the secondary HSRP and traversing through peer-link and dropping the packet.
HSRP address on Core: 10.10.10.1
vlan 10 - N7k1 - 10.10.10.2
Vlan 10 - N7k2 - 10.10.10.3
Edge Sw - 10.10.10.10 - Vlan 10
[code].....
Now what is the best practise for HSRP with vPC for orphan ports ? The problem is i can only ping 1 wlc from a machine. on doing a traceroute i find that the packets seems reach N7k1 and reach wlc that is connected to its own port but not to the WLC that is connected to N7k2 due to the packet travesing through peer-link and dropping at the peer-link.Now what is the best practise to sort this out and reach both WLC at the same time ? Do i move the WLC 2 to N7k1 ?
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 would like to monitor traffic between multiple source ports to multiple destination ports on a nexus 7k. i lknow when you set up monitor session is between source and destination (laptop or traffic analyser) but is there a way i can set up between source and multiple destination ports and capture that traffic ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes Nexus 7K support Multiple VDCs sharing ports on a single line card. One of our cisco parnter engineers stated that cisco doenst recommend using same line card for multiple VDCs.The second VDC (Non-Default VDC) will be used four our Outside, and DMZ Segment, and to phyiscally segregate our Firewall from our Internal/Inside Core Switch without using a physical DMZ Switch.I know Cisco used the Nexus in this way in their PCI DSS 2.0 Compliance Document.

I have a question regarding uplink ports on a switch. Specifically the SFP+ variety. Could these uplink ports be used to connect directly to a fileserver? To be more specific, would the uplink port on the HP 3800 Switches connect directly to a file server that has the SFP+ card installed?
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo the 2T comes with 2 10GE and 3 GE uplink ports. Can you use all 5, one or the other, a mix, or what? How does that work? It's not really clear from reviewing the products webpage or data sheet.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a single HP 2810 switch being used for an iSCSI SAN.We want to replace it with dual higher end switches.But we've got another SAN to also setup now - Dell Equallogic PS6010E - that has 10gb iSCSI SFP+ ports.Can the 4 x SFP+ uplink ports on the Dell PowerConnect PCT5548 or the HP 3800-48G-4SFP+ switch be used for just the 10gb iSCSI, while the other 48 handle the 1gb iSCSI?We were told the uplink ports don't have buffering, making them bad ports for iSCSI traffic and only useful as uplinks to another switch.We only need 8 x 10gb ports (4 for 2 servers, and 4 for the Equallogic SAN), so if the above would work, it would probably save us $10,000 from having to buy a separate 24 port dedicated 10gb switch to handle it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a two Cisco 4510R each with two sup V-10GE redundant. The code on these sup modules are 12.2(31r)SG3. I need some assistance in getting this setup worked out. I have all four of the 10GE populated with appropriate optics. I setup a link from one 4510R to the other using these interfaces. From the documentation I found I had to use Tengi1/1 and Tengi2/2 as the redundant pair. I plugged the up link into these ports. The Tengi1/1 (active supervisor) links up and works fine. But when I look at the ports port Tengi2/2 it isn't showing link or active. Now port 2/1 (nothing plugged into it) is showing as active.
Now is the redundancy supposed to be 1/1 and 2/1? If so, the switch is in production, when I move the connection over from 2/2 to 2/1 will it cause a outage? The reason for this is I now have a system with a 10G port and would like to utilize one of the other 10G ports. Is that possible? Or does it have to be a lag/redundant up link to work (say to another switch)?
If I have two stackable switches one that connects to the 6509 core switch and the other switch does not, do I have to uplink the switch to the other switch so that switch has route to the core switch or because the switches are daisy chain there is not need to cable one switch to to the other switch connected to core switch?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was trying to uplink a switch today on a 1500m run of SMF. I have a 6509 core switch with a 16 port GBIC module. On that end I have a WS-G5486-LX with a 3m SC to LC patch cable.On the other end I have a 3750G with a GLC-LH-SM SFP. I have checked my fiber path and it seems good, (by sight, did not have an OTDR avialable).I can't get the link up at all. Tried swapping Tx Rx at one end, Tried different transceivers. Tried different patch cables. Nothing worked. At about the mid-point of my fiber run the cable passes through another network closet with a core switch for a separate network. If I break my fiber path there and try to connect in either direction it works. The only differences are the length of the fiber run and that the core switch on the other network has a CLC-LX-SM SFP.Is it the distance? Or is there some issue connecting a GLC-LH-SM to a WS-G5486-LX?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm currently trying to diagnose a re-occuring problem with output drops on an uplink interface to a SonicWALL firewall, between 1am - 3am every night we receive alerts that the output drops (discards) counter has incremented.
This time frame happens to be when several network based backups are running so that's probably to blame for the added traffic count but I'm trying to narrow down what's actually dropping the traffic.
The switch hardware is a WS-C3750X-48 running C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M , 12.2 (55) SE3.
My current thinking is that the output drops are indicative of congestion on the link to the SonicWALL indicating that the SonicWALL unit is incapable of processing the traffic flow fast enough thus causing the congestion and ultimately the output drops on the Gi2/0/48 interface.
According to SonicWALL the unit is rated at 1.5Gbps throughput without UTM services (pure stateful), and no UTM services are enabled.
I've posted a section of the show interface command:
Keepalive set (10 sec)
Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s, media type is 10/100/1000BaseTX
input flow-control is off, output flow-control is unsupported

We have a remote site that is using 3750X switches as layer 2 switches back to our home site. The uplink port is showing dropped packets but the utilization on the link is never about 10%. We have a 100Mb circuit to this site. Our speed tests and iperf tests are not showing any issues that we can see. However the port is still droping packets. It is not dropping at a high rate but they are dropping.
