Cisco Switching/Routing :: How To Configure Nexus 1000v Switches With Vmware
May 29, 2012
According to Cisco, Nexus 1010 can host up to (6) Virtual Service blades. I can't find out how many Virtual Supervisor Modules and Virtual Ethernet Modules that make up one Nexus 1000v switches can be supported by each Virtual Service Blades. In other words, how many Nexus 1000v switches can be created with Nexus 1010 appliance?how to configure Nexus 1000v switches with vmware. without Nexus 1010, the standalone nexus 1000v switches was configured from vCenter as an OVF. But how to configure Nexus 1000v switches with vmware where nexus switches are hosted on Nexus 1010 appliance.

We have a requirement for private VLANS for DMZ hosting within one of our datacentres. I just want to query how private VLANs would work in our environment.We have physical servers connected to fex ports (2 fex per rack for each 5k) of a 5548UP switch, virtual servers using the nexus 1000v (vmware hosts connected to fex ports) Out firewalls and load balancers are connected to an upstream pair of nexus 7ks using vPCs.My question is this, ordinarily the firewall would be in a promiscuous port but as these reside on a physically separate switch will the normal vPC trunk still be sufficient or would the "switchport mode private-vlan trunk promiscuous" be required on the vPC up to the northbound 7k.As these connections are already in production I do not want to affect the existing traffic that doesn’t use private VLANs.

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 want to configure snmp-traps regarding stpx (root-inconsistency, loop-inconsistency) on a Cisco Nexus 1000V. The command "show snmp traps" lists stpx as a trap that could be configured and which is not at the moment.
MKBE1NX1# sh snmp trap
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trap type Enabled
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
entity : entity_mib_change Yes
entity : entity_module_status_change Yes
entity : entity_power_status_change Yes
[code].....
Nothing about stpx... Is there some other way to configure more traps?

have a single host that refuses to register his VEM in VSM, I can see him in show svs neighbors and all other servers went in although a couple of them we had to do more than once but I have all indications it is working, have correct license, sees him, pings him, everything looks fine but from timeto time just get the message:
N1KVSM-B# 2012 Feb 10 15:45:32 N1KVSM-B %VMS-5-DVS_HOSTMEMBER_INFO: A host with name=[ky-dc1-esxi13.cajones.local] and uuid=[00000000-0000-0000-8000-0025b5010019] is added to the dvs. The host is not found as a module in the VSM configuration
So I even added him to the VSM configuration statically as VEM 7 the next available and nothing.

According to the note at the bottom of a VMware KB Article "Cisco Nexus 1000V and VMware vCloud Director 1.5,"
"Note: You are must use the Cisco Virtual Network Management Center (VNMC) virtual appliance from Cisco. This is a separate products and needs to be licensed from Cisco."
Is this actually the case? I know you could use portgroup based network pools with vCD 1.0 and 1kv. Can I use the 1kv with VLAN-backed network pools in vCD 1.5 without the Virtual Network Management Center or is it required?

We are trying to install the latest version of Nexus 1000v to ESXi5.1 and the installer application is much better than the previos one, but we are having problems with implemetation, because deploying of OVA file times out.
First attempt: Nexus-1 was successfully deployed on ESXi-1, but Nexus-2 which should be deployed on ESXi-2 returned an error: "Deploy OVF template":"Operation timed out." Second attempt: Deploying of Nexus-1 returned the same error Third attempt: The same as the first attempt.
It looks like that there is a time limit which is used for deploying OVA file and since file needs to be uploaded to ESXi it takes too long, so the installation fails. Is it possible to extend this time?

We've gotten two Nexus 7009's in and I'm starting to configure them when I found I couldn't add VDCs. I found there was no license installed but the only licenses I found that came with them are "Cisco DCNM for LAN Enterprise Lic for one Nexus 7000 Chassis". So my question is this - do I need to configure a DCNM server to get the license pushed to these two 7009s or should there be another PAK for each chassis that I can register and get my enterprise services?

I just installed a N1K (with code 4.2(1)SV1(4a)) and I was trying to setup a private vlan.
Example:
vlan 300
name PRI-VLAN
private-vlan primary
[Code]....
I upgraded another n1k (that already had pvlan configured) to this version of code and it has the private vlan option. This was just installed yesterday so I don't have the license on it yet.

I've been asked whether we can use HP-branded 10G SFP+s (P/N 455885-001) in Nexus 2Ks to provide 10G connections to HP C-Class enclosures. We've used HP-branded twinax, and Cisco-branded SFP+s and twinax, but we have a raft of HP 10G SFP+s sat in a store room gathering dust and now we want to save some money by not having to buy the Cisco parts to match.

Configuring OSPFv2 on a Nexus 5K switches, after configuring area 0 or area 10 it shows as 0.0.0.0 or 0.0.0.10 instead, I'm planning to uplink a couple of ASAs with OSPF enabled, just wondering if the area format showing will be a problem, is this how is supposed to look in the Nexus 5K? and will the 5K be able to form adjacensies with other non-Nexus devices that have area 0 and 10?

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 have 2 NEXUS switches in VPC. When I create/delete a VLAN gets updated in the same switch, but the VLAN information does not get propagated to the neighboring switch. Revision number remains the same even if I modify the VLAN. Had also tried changing the VTP status to transparent mode & reverting it to client mode but no luck.Have double confirmed on the VTP domain names & password. However the same setup in different location which works perfectly fine.

I am trying to understand what load balancing method is used on a port channel on a Nexus switch . I have a server connected by a VPC to two Nexus switches. The nexus switches are only acting as layer 2 switches. I have a 6509 connected via a upstream link that does all of the routing for my VLANS. If have a server connected to the Nexus switches and it talks to a server on my 6509 what load balancing happens on the Nexus going across VPC 27 which is a layer 2 trunk going up to my 6509. Is it done on layer 2 or layer 3 flows?
My Nexus shows the default load balancing configurations
Port Channel Load-Balancing Configuration:System: source-dest-ip
Port Channel Load-Balancing Addresses Used Per-Protocol:Non-IP: source-dest-macIP: source-dest-ip source-dest-mac

We are looking forward to implement IBM BladeCentre Swiches connectivity with Nexus 2k module.I would like to brief you about my network over as follows:
Coreswitch : 6513 ( Layer 3 switch + Spanning Tree root)
Nexus 5010 : Layer 2 switch
Nexus 2k 10G ports based module.
Currentl Solution : we want to connect the IBM Blade Switches (4) as demonstrated in the attached diagram which will be connected to Nexus 2k module as Ether-channel Access port.
Initially we been proposed by our vendor with this design and Now vendor is recommending us to connect the Blade switch etiher to Nexus 5k switch or directly to 6513 core-switches instead of Nexus 2k modules as they say Nexus 2k modules are only to connect the Edge devices .
We do not have ports available on Nexus 5010 to connect the cables from IBM Blade Centre Switches. Otherthan that, incase if we go ahead and connect the IBM Blade switches as access ether-channel access port with Nexus 2k module what are consequences we have to face realted Spanning tree or any other.

Connecting a legacy Nortel switch (425/450/470/BPS) to a Nexus 7000 via gigabit fiber? I have a customer trying to do it and they say that the connection never comes up. The support on the Nortel stuff is long since expired, so Avaya is not being particularly useful. Apparently Cisco says the issue is "fast link pulse to the BayStack to determine the capabilities of the uplink and the BayStack is returning all zeros." I have not verified this and actually have not yet gotten my hands on the Nexus side of things
