I'm trying to get the VFC up in B22-FEX blade in Dell which is connecting to Nexus 5596UP.

I have two Nexus 5596UP that will be connected together via VPC-Peerlink. From there I want to connect both 5596UP's to a 6509-VSS via VPC.The Nexus 5596UP's will be essentially layer 2 switches, all routing will be done the 6509-VSS's.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I read Nexus 5K install guide , I found the follow :The Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch has the following features: # •48 fixed 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet server connection ports on the back of the switch AND The 48 fixed ports support 8-, 4-, 2-, or 1-Gbps Fibre Channel transceivers and 1- or 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceivers. Does these is a conflict ?The 48 fixed port on this switch support only 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet or 8-, 4-, 2-, or 1-Gbps Fibre Channel and 1- or 10-Gigabit simultaneously ？
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have two Nexus switches in our network, one of them is Nexus5020 other Nexus5596UP. System image is identical on both switches 5.2(1)N1(4). When we try to setup VPC between these switches we see that all configured vlans on VPC peer link between Nexus switches are blocked by spanning tree protocol with message "Bridge Assurance Inconsistent, VPC Peer-link Inconsistent". We still can't solve this problem.

I would like to make a design with 4 Nexus 5596UP. 2 of them equipped with Layer 3 Expansion Module so they can serve as core layer and the other 2 Nexus used as Layer 2 for aggregation server layer.The 2 Nexus in the core layer will run HSRP and will peer with ISP via BGP for Internet connection The 2 Nexus in the aggregation layer will be configured as layer 2 device and have FEX and switches connected to them.What I am ensure of is how the vpc and port-channel configuration should look like between the 4 nexus. What I was thinking is to run vpc between the 2 Nexus in the aggregation layer and between the 2 Nexus in the core layer. Than I was thinking of connecting each Nexus in the aggragtion layer to both Nexus in the core layer using port-channel and vice-versa.

In our LAN network design, we have two Nexus 7010 switches on the core connected via vPC. Then LAN access switches are directly connected to the Core Nexus switches via regular port channels on the 3750's and vPC on Nexus. The core Nexus switches will be linked to an existing LAN network and the applications will be progressively migrated from the old to the new network.In this scenario, three VDCs are planned to be configured on the Nexus - One for the Interconnect (and WAN at a later stage), one for the LAN/local services and one for the building facilities/local services.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have 2 nexus 5K installed in our data centre recently and we are connecting new three servers to nexus switches. Each server has 2 10GB ports . 1 port of serverA is connected 5K1 and other port is connected 5K2 ( sameway other 2 server connected to Neuxs 5K1 and 5K2 Switches).So do we need to create each VPC with Portchannel (like VPC 1,2 and 3 ) for each server connection?
View 11 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 am in the process of migrating our existing server farm subnets to our new Nexus server farm and I discovered something I wasn’t expecting. My intention is to migrate our existing legacy server farm which is comprised of for paired 3750 switches off of our core 6509s and onto the Nexus and connect them to the 2232s via multi gig port-channel connections, two port channels per switch stack.
NOTE this is expected to be a temporary move as next year we intend to install additional N2Ks and move servers over to these directly. But to minimize the outage/downtime it will be better to move the subnets and switchs all at once.
These connections would be grouped 1 gig connections as port channels, one from each switch into one of the two 2232s.
Problem I discovered is Cisco does not intend to have switches connected to the Nexus and it immediately disables the ports when they see BPDUs.
I found a config that does work and it does fail over from one port-channel connection to the other but with the limitation that when the original port channel comes back online it does not fail back over to the original one, an acceptable situation for us. But I am wondering if Cisco would support this design if we did experience issues down the road.
The only issue I really see is to get it to work the config is different on the two N5Ks, see the pert config below for the connections. Both are running the same OS

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have 12 Catalyst Blade Switches 3020 for HP running IOS Version 12.2(55)SE. In the configuration of these switches I see the statement shown below.
no spanning-tree vlan 34,45-55,70,600,643,840,843-850
The 12 blade switches are configured as VTP clients and running VTP V2. I did not configure the statement shown above. It appered by itself. And even if I delete it, it will reapper. (The blade switches are interconnected to two 6509s. The two 6509s are the STP root and VTP bridges. I configure Vlans and STP on the 6509s).
why the statement above appers on the blade switches 3020s?
I mean I use other Cisco switches such as 3750s and 3560s and I have never seen the statement above appear by itself.

could an ios upgrade solve this issue? are there any ios related bugs?

I'm having a problem at the moment getting a Cisco switch (2960G) to work properly with a Dell blade enclosure. The config that we have on the switchports is;description Bladeswitchport access vlan 120 speed 100duplex fullndhowever, with this configured, it's throwing up a lot of CRC errors. I've taken the last two lines out, and there are less CRC errors but the connection starts running really slow.Are there any further steps that I would need to take to fully troubleshoot the issue, or is there a simple config change that could be made to resolve it?
