View 3 RepliesNeed 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.

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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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?
I can't find anywhere whether it is possible to create a vPC domain with 2 Nexus 5548UP switches, where only 1 Nexus 5548UP has a L3 daughter card.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis 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] ..........
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe 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.
Can I configure a DHCP Servero on the Nexus 7018?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe 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.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have 2 nexus 7010 switches configured with HSRP in the network. For all the vlans core1 is Master and Core2 is standby. In the current setup we have external dhcp server and dhcp relay is configured for all the vlans on Master and standby switch. The setup is running the IOS 5.2
Activity Done: During the Maintainacne activity, we isolated core1 switch in the network by disabling the vpc/keepalive and all the uplinks from access switch. The core2 switch was master for all the vlans.
Issue observed: It has been observed that new users were not getting ip address from the dhcp server. The ethereal capture showed that dhcp server was not getting the dhcp requests from the core2 switch. We disabled the dhcp feature in core2 and enabled again with dhcp relay again configured on vlan interfaces .even after doing this no change was observed in behaviour. Finally we got core1 back in network by enabling all the links.
Observation: The moment VPC link came up between the core switches, users started getting ip's from dhcp. Then we started enabling all the uplinks on core1.Core1 again become master for all the vlans and users continued getting ip’s. Network running fine.
Further Testing
1. For one of the vlan, core 2 switch has been made primary and for new users checked the dhcp functionality and it was working fine. The aim was to identify if anything wrong on core 2 related to dhcp relay
2.Again we changed the priority for this vlan and made core1 master for the same. This time we disabled this vlan on core1 and tried new user with core 2 became master and dhcp functionality worked fine for new user. Actually in this case we have simulated the same behaviour when we observed the issue with only difference of VPC was not available during the issue time as core 1 was isolated form network
Inputs needed.
Is there any known behaviour for dhcp functionality when VPC is unavailable? If we see the test scenario2 (wherein core1 was master for the vlan and we disable this vlan on core 1 and core 2 was able to relay dhcp requests for new users in this vlan.) it was actually same as scenario we observed during issue time..
I have a 3945 with a basic DHCP configuration applied to it. This 3945 is connected into one of the access ports of my nexus switch. I'd like to simply have the 3945 hand ip addresses out to other clients connected to the nexus switch. I have zero experience with nexus & haven't been able to turn much up through searching the net.

Config tips for Nexus 5k for New server
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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI used to use a CentOS self-made server for intranet for my little office, but I bouth few days ago a Cisco 861 router to replace the linux box.
1. I have 2 public IP classes from my ISP. 1 class is limitted to 80mbit upload, the other to 30mbit upload. So I need some sort of DNAT to be able to know exactly which intranet computer uses big internet and which one limitted internet.
2. I need DHCP server and with static IP addresses (one computer must always have the same IP address, etc).. i have my needs for this.
3. Also I need external access to some servers inside (web, ftp, etc) [code]
So far so good, all looks simple and I can achieve this in 2 hours on a centos linux box (correct routes, ip forwarding enabled and few iptables rules for NAT/SNAT/DNAT).
But on this brand new Centos router well, i'm not even successful in pinging the outside world, nor the inside world I'm tired of reading the forums, the documentation..i want (at first) a simple scenario: vlan+dhcp, fa4 with 1 public ip address and ACCESS to the real world. I wasn't able to achieve not even that much. [code]
