Nexus 7010 port-channel to ESXi host running on Dell 910 and 810

Was wondering has anyone had any experience with configuring a port-channel going back to ESXi host. My basic config is below. My issue is with what to put in the spanning-tree port type. Do I use normal, edge, network, or edge trunk?? Yes I have read most of the documentation out there but am just a lil confused. I just wanna be right.
Also if anyone has any suggestions for the Vswitch config as well that would be much appreciated.
int PO 201

  switchport access vlan 99
  switchport trunk native vlan 777
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 220,300,310,320-321,350,390-391
  switchport trunk allowed vlan add 420,777
  spanning-tree port type normal (what should go here)
  speed auto
  medium p2p
  no shutdown

Thanks Guys

Short answer: You could use spanning tree port type edge (trunk; if it's going to be a trunk). The vswitch isn't really a switch, it doesn't participate in spanning tree, so it's fine to make it an edge port.
In my experience, many VMware guys don't like port channels as much as the other more host-centric NIC teaming methods. I think this has to do with ESX having a less than stellar implementation of etherchannel/LACP early on.

    Hi Particio,
    The port-channel/vPC features require that all uplinks are connected to the same type of
    module. You can refer to the following document.

  • Nexus 6K: Port-Channel Load-Balance

    Hi all,

  • Nexus 1000v port-channels questions

    Hi,
    I’m running vCenter 4.1 and Nexus 1000v and about 30 ESX Hosts.
    I’m using one system uplink port profile for all 30 ESX Host; On each of the ESX host I have 2 NICs going to a Catalyst 3750 switch stack (Switch A), and another 2 NICs going to another Catalyst 3750 switch stack (Switch B).
    The Nexus is configured with the “sub-group CDP” command on the system uplink port profile like the following:
    port-profile type ethernet uplink
    vmware port-group
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,800,802,900,988-991,996-997,999
    switchport trunk native vlan 500
    mtu 1500
    channel-group auto mode on sub-group cdp
    no shutdown
    system vlan 988-989
    description System-Uplink
    state enabled
    And the port channel on the Catalyst 3750 are configured like the following:
    interface Port-channel11
    description ESX-10(Virtual Machine)
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport trunk native vlan 500
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 800,802,900,988-991
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport nonegotiate
    spanning-tree portfast trunk
    end
    interface GigabitEthernet1/0/18
    description ESX-10(Virtual Machine)
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport trunk native vlan 500
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 800,802,900,988-991
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport nonegotiate
    channel-group 11 mode on
    spanning-tree portfast trunk
    spanning-tree guard root
    end
    interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
    description ESX-10(Virtual Machine)
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport trunk native vlan 500
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 800,802,900,988-991
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport nonegotiate
    channel-group 11 mode on
    spanning-tree portfast trunk
    spanning-tree guard root
    end
    Now Cisco is telling me that I should be using MAC pinning when doing a trunk to two different stacks , and that each interface on 3750 should not be configured in a port-channel like above,  but should be configured as individual trunks.
    First question: Is the above statement correct, are my uplinks configured wrong?  Should they be configured individually in trunks instead of a port-channel?
    Second questions: If I need to add the MAC pinning configuration on my system uplink port-profile can I create a new system uplink port profile with the MAC pinning configuration and then move one ESX host (with no VM on them) one at a time to that new system uplink port profile? This way, I could migrate one ESX host at a time without outages to my VMs. Or is there an easier way to move 30 ESX hosts to a new system uplink profile with the MAC Pinning configuration.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    From what I understood, you have the following setup:
         - Each ESX host has 4 NICS
         - 2 of them go to a 3750 stack and the other 2 go to a different 3750 stack
         - all 4 vmnics on the ESX host use the same Ethernet port-profile
              - this has 'channel-group auto mode on sub-group cdp'
         - The 2 interfaces on each 3750 stack are in a port-channel (just 'mode on')
    If yes, then this sort of a setup is correct. The only problem with this is the dependance on CDP. With CDP loss, the port-channels would go down.
    'mac-pinning' is the recommended option for this sort of a setup. You don't have to bundle the interfaces on the 3750 for this and these can be just regular trunk ports. If all your ports are on the same stack, then you can look at LACP. The CDP option would not be supported in the future releases. In fact, it is supposed to be removed from 4.2(1)SV1(2.1) but I still see the command available (ignore 4.2(1)SV1(4) next to it) - I'll follow up on this internally:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus1000/sw/4_2_1_s_v_2_1_1/interface/configuration/guide/b_Cisco_Nexus_1000V_Interface_Configuration_Guide_Release_4_2_1_SV_2_1_1_chapter_01.html
    For migrating, the best option would be as you suggested. Create a new port-profile with mac-pinning and move one host at a time. You can migrate VMs off the host before you change the port-profile and can remove the upstream port-channel config as well.
    Thanks,
    Shankar

  • Nexus 1000v - port-channel "refresh"

    Hi All,
    My question is, does anyone have any information on this 1000v command:
    Nexus-1000v(config)# port-channel internal device-id table refresh
    I am looking for a way for the port-channel interface to be automatically removed from the 1000v once the VEM has been deleted, currently the port-channel interface does not disappear when the VEM has been removed. This seems to be causing problems once the same VEM is re-added later on. Ports are getting sent into quarantine states and ending up in invalid states (eg. NoPortProfile state when there is actually a port-profile attached).
    Anyway, if anyone can explain the above command or tell me how to find out more, it would be great, I can't find it documented anywhere and the context-sensitive help in the NXOS is vague at best.

    Brendan,
    I don't have much information on that command, but I do know it wont remove any unused port channels.  They have to be manually deleted if they're no longer needed.
    The port Channel ID will remain even after a VEM is removed in case the assigned VEM comes back.  When a VEM is decommisioned permanently, I'll do a "no vem x" to also remove the Host entry for that VEM from the VSM.  This way the module slot # can be re-assigned to the next new VEM inserted.  After adding/removing VEMs just do a "show port-channel summary" to see any unused Port Channel IDs, and delete them.  It's a quick & painless task.
    I would hope this wouldn't be a common issue - how often are you deleting/removing VEMs?
    Regards,
    Robert

  • FI 6248 Nexus 5548 Port-channel problem

                       Hi all
    I have a strange behavior between 2 FI and 2 nexus 5k configured as VPC , From a remote location and from my desktop I can ping odd ip and not even , from an other desktop in the same LAN the reverse, for both the tracert are good.
    The only solution is to shutdown  ports 1/1-2 on nexus A or FI A and in that case both desktops can ping both IP.
    All seems OK, no log error , no error on interface , I give below some commands
    What thing to know is that the nexus b has a L3 card , not the Nexus A , In fact I am waiting for a spare L3 daughter card.
    On both NexusI have such configuration and status

    Any ideas, A configuration I forgot on FI ?
    Regards .

    In fact in the probem I described the path is Esx -> FAB A - > N5K-A (for layer 2) -> N5K-B (for L3) -> routing to the LAN
    And what you told me is that such configuration is not supported with VPC configuration , so I need to wait to receive the L3 card for the N5k-A. and check later if I have the same problem.

  • FCoE Port Channels on Single Nexus 5K - possible?

    I'm looking for information regarding FCoE on a single Nexus 5548. I'm trying to set up a port channel from a Netapp filer's CNA adapters (2 twinax cables). I was told that for some reason port channels do not work on a single Nexus 5K design (i.e. no vPC), but I didn't know if that meant simply without the use of LACP. I've configured it in both fashions, and it seems that the VFCs do not want to come up, meaning that my filers cannot log in to the SAN. This behavior is what was described to me as what would happen if I tried doing a port channel in this way - basically I've bound the VFCs to the port channels, and since the port channels are composed of ports on the same switch, it just doesn't work. Seems odd that this would bet the case, though it would normally force me to simply buy a second N5K (sneaky sneaky).
    Any tips?

    That's not my issue. I'm using only one Nexus 5K, meaning that if I want to have a port channel running between the 5K and the Netapp filers, I have to bind the virtual fibre channel interfaces to that port channel. I believe that in doing so, when there are more than one links as a member of that port channel, the VFCs simply go down by design and will not come up. For some reason VFCs require to be bound to a single physical interface, whether that interfaces is a single phyiscal port or a port channel that's only configured to have one port in it.
    Either way, I had to configure the Netapp side to be active/passive. I've bound the VFCs to each port (total of 4, so 4 VFCs as well). No port channels are being used on the Nexus side. This is not ideal but it works.
    I would still like to see some documentation regarding the behavior of the VFCs when presented with multiple links in this way. Has anyone seen any documentation regarding this?

  • OSPF load balancing across multiple port channels

    I have googled/searched for this everywhere but haven't been able to find a solution. Forgive me if I leave something out but I will try to convey all relevant information. Hopefully someone can provide some insight and many thanks in advance.
    I have three switches (A, B, and C) that are all running OSPF and LACP port channelling among themselves on a production network. Each port channel interface contains two physical interfaces and trunks a single vlan (so a vlan connecting each switch over a port channel). OSPF is running on each vlan interface.
    Switch A - ME3600
    Switch B - 3550
    Switch C - 3560G
    This is just a small part of a much larger topology. This part forms a triangle, if you will, where A is the source and C is the destination. A and C connect directly via a port channel and are OSPF neighbors. A and B connect directly via a port channel and are OSPF neighbors. B and C connect directly via a port channel and are OSPF neighbors. Currently, all traffic from A to C traverses B. I would like to load balance traffic sourced from A with a destination of C on the direct link and on the links through B. If all traffic is passed through B, traffic is evenly split on the two interfaces on the port channel. If all traffic is pushed onto the direct A-C link, traffic is evenly balanced on the two interfaces on that port channel. If OSPF load balancing is configured on the two vlans from A (so A-C and A-B), the traffic is divided to each port channel but only one port on each port channel is utilized while the other one passes nothing. So half of each port channel remains unused. The port channel on B-C continues to load balance, evenly splitting the traffic received from half of the port channel from A.
    A and C port channel load balancing is configured for src-dst-ip. B is a 3550 and does not have this option, so it is set to src-mac.
    Relevant configuration:
    Switch A:
    interface Port-channel1

    This is more FYI. 10.82.4.0/24 is a subnet on switch C. The path to it is split across vlans 10 and 11 but once it hits the port channel interfaces only one side of each is chosen. I'd like to avoid creating more vlan interfaces but right now that appears to be the only way to load balance equally across the four interfaces out of switch A.

  • Port Channel Downtime/Convergence time when adding interfaces

    I am looking to add a 3rd and maybe a 4th physical port to an existing port channel as we are running out of capacity, at peak we are pushing around 1.3Gb over the 2Gb channel and we are expanding services out of this location. My question is this, what will the downtime and convergence time be on the port channel when i add in the extra interfaces. Will i drop packets, will my customers notice any service disruption ?
    Currently configured as follows:

  • Port-channel - type Peer STP

    Hello,
    We have two Catalyst 4006 as core switchs in our network. Other access layer and server layer switchs (also Catalyst 4006) connect to the two core switchs; two Gigabit Ethernet links between one layer switch and one core switch form a port channel.
    Now I add one Catalyst 4507 switch in the backbone, Il connects to each core switch by two GE links formed a port channel. The show spanning-tree command presente different port-channel type for the older(P2P Peer STP and the new port-channel (PO31, only P2P, not peer STP).

    Thank you.
    Jessie Dong

    Hi Jessie,
    You are running RSTP, which sends version 2 BPDUs. If the switch receives on a port version 0 BPDU (i.e. regular STP BPDUs), it will go to an STP compatibility mode and will start sending version 0 BPDUs on this port.
    So basically, what you are seeing is that all your neighbors are running STP, except the one connected to Po31 who is running RSTP.
    Regards,
    Francois

  • Config port channel across different type of media

    Please help with the question if we could config port channel across different media type such as Gigabit and Ethernet 10/100 ports ? thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    no, that is not possible.
    When assigning interfaces to a specific port channel, the interfaces must be all Fast
    Ethernet or all Gigabit Ethernet. You cannot mix interface types within a single port
    channel.
    Check the following link:

  • Configuring Port Channel on Cisco 2960S-48LPS-L

    When I try to move port channel connections to two of the SFP ports on our Cisco 2960S switch, one of the connections fail.

  • Port-channel problem with WiSM

    Has anybody met following similar problem:
    I put WiSM into slot 3(also tried slot 6) of 6506(sup720-3B, s72033-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH.bin), using following command to setup the port-channel:
    interface Port-channel1
    switchport
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport trunk native vlan 5
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-1000
    switchport mode trunk
    int range g3/1-4
    switchport
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport trunk native vlan 5
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-1000
    switchport mode trunk
    channel-group 1 mode on
    I can use "session slot 3 pro 1" to login to the WiSM, but can't ping WiSM's management IP address from 6506, then I find the port-channel has problem, only G3/1 is up and included in the channel, G3/2-4 are up but line protocol is down, then I found from the log that: "AESUT: %EC-SP-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2: Gi3/2 is not compatible with Gi3/1 and will be suspended (qos-card type unavailable for Gi3/2 or Gi3/1)". It says those GE port are not compatible for qos-card type, but I checked the configuration, all GE using the same configuration. Don't know why, maybe a bug? Appreciate for any feedback

    I have the same problem, but it has something to do with QoS. When you disable "mls qos" on the switch, the port-channel will function normal again.
    It doesn't help when you configure "mls qos trust dscp" on the port-channel!!!!!
