Question about Nexus 7010.

Hello everybody,
Just a quick question, how do you restore a running-config (or a Nexus .bin file) to a Nexus 7010. Is it thesame process as the IOS base scenario. Please explain and help. Thank you in advance.

Question about Nexus 3548 vPC setup

Hi.
We have just installed our two first Nexus 3548 switches in our Catalyst environment. We want to set up a vPC domain between the Nexuses, to use for connections to storage and other equipment.
I have read the guide at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/nexus-3000-series-switches/white_paper_c11-685753.html and tried setting it up. I created a vPC domain on both switches like this:
nexus1:
vpc domain 1
role priority 2000
system-priority 4000
peer-keepalive destination 192.168.105.40 source 192.168.105.39 vrf default
nexus2:
vpc domain 1
system-priority 4000
peer-keepalive destination 192.168.105.39 source 192.168.105.40 vrf default
The switches are connected with a port-channel consisting of 2x 10GE. The IP addresses above are the ones we use for managing the switches. When I configure the port-channel as "vpc peer-link", the vpc status looks OK:
vPC domain id                     : 1
Peer status                       : peer adjacency formed ok
vPC keep-alive status             : peer is alive
Configuration consistency status : success
Per-vlan consistency status       : success
Type-2 consistency status         : success
vPC role                          : primary
Number of vPCs configured         : 0
Peer Gateway                      : Disabled
Dual-active excluded VLANs        : -
Graceful Consistency Check        : Enabled
Auto-recovery status              : Disabled
vPC Peer-link status
id   Port   Status Active vlans
1    Po2    up     1,6,100,102,106
The problem I have is that I lose connection to nexus2 when I bring up the vPC. I can no longer access it on its IP (192.168.105.40). I cannot ping it from nexus1 either. The Nexus switches are connected to our core switches, which are Catalyst 6509. nexus1 is connected to coreswitch1 using a portchannel of 2xGE and nexus2 is connected to coreswitch2 the same way. A spanning-tree cost has been set on the uplink from nexus2, to make spanning tree block that uplink, and allow traffic between the nexuses to go over the 2x 10GE portchannel instead of over the core switches. I have attached a drawing of this.
Maybe I shouldn't use the management IP:s for peer keepalive? Does the peer keepalive need to be on a different physical link than the peer-link?
Regards,
Johan

We are not using the management ports for management, but an ordinary Vlan Interface in the default vrf, as seen below. We can of course change that and instead use the mgmt0 port if that is the best approach.
vrf context management
vlan configuration 1,100
vlan 1
vlan 100
name DMMgmtPriv
vpc domain 1
role priority 2000
system-priority 4000
peer-keepalive destination 192.168.105.40 source 192.168.105.39 vrf default
interface Vlan1
interface Vlan100
no shutdown
no ip redirects
ip address 192.168.105.39/23

Some questions about Muse

First of all, I would like to say that I am very impressed with how well Muse works and how easy it was to create a website that satisfies me. Before I started a daily updated website I thought I would encounter many problems I will not be able to solve. I have only had a few minor issues which I would like to share with you.
The most problems I have with a horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html). Marking and copying of a text is possible only on the last (top) layer of a document. The same situation is with widgets or anything connected with rollover state - it does not work. In the above example it would be perfect to use a composition/tooltip widget on the first page. Unfortunately, you cannot even move the cursor into it.
It would be helpful to have an option of rolling a mouse to an anchor (like in here http://www.play.pl/super-smartfony/lg-nexus-5.html and here http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html). I mean any action of a mouse wheel would make a move to another anchor/screen. It would make navigation of my site very easy.
Is it possible to create a widget with a function next anchor/previous anchor? Currently, in the menu every button must be connected to a different anchor for the menu to be functional.
A question about Adobe Muse. Is it possible to create panels in different columns? It would make it easier to go through all the sophisticated program functions.
The hits from Facebook have sometimes very long links, eg.
(http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/mclaren-p1-nowy-krol-nurburgring.html?fb_action_ids=143235557 3667782&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582). If such a link is activated, the anchors in the menu do not work on any page. I mean the backlight of an active state, which helps the user to find out where on page they currently are. The problem also occurs when in the name of a html file polish fonts exist. And sometimes the dots does not work without any reason, mostly in the main page, sometimes in the cooperation page either (http://www.leftlane.pl/wspolpraca/). In the first case (on main page), I do not know why. I have checked if they did not drop into a state button by accident, moved them among the layers, numbered them from scratch and it did not help. In the cooperation page, the first anchor does not work if it is in Y axle set at 0. If I move it right direction- everything is ok.
The text frame with background fill does not change text color in overlay state (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html). I mean a source button at the beginning of every text. I would like a dark text and a light layer in a rollover, but the text after export and moving cursor into it does not change color for some reason.
I was not sure whether to keep everything (whole website) in one Muse file (but I may be mistaken?). I have decided to divide it into months. Everyone is in a different Muse file. If something goes wrong, I will not have any trouble with an upload of a whole site, which is going to get bigger and bigger.
The problem is that every file has two master pages. Everything works well up to the moment when I realize how many times I have to make changes in upper menu when I need to add something there. I have already 5 files, every with 2 masters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Maybe something to do with Business Catalyst, where I could connect a menu to every subpage independently, deleting it from Muse file? Doing so I would be able to edit it everywhere from one place. It would make my work much easier, but I have no idea jendak how to do it.
The comments Disqus do not load, especially at horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-concept.html). I have exchanged some mails and screenshots with Disqus help. I have sent them a screenshot where the comments are not loaded, because they almost never load. They have replied that it works at their place even with attached screenshot. I have a hard time to discuss it, because it does not work with me and with my friends either. Maybe you could fix it? I would not like to end up with awful facebook comments ;). The problem is with Firefox on PC and Mac. Chrome, Safari and Opera work ok.
YouTube movie level layouts do not work well with IE11 and Safari 7 (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/wypadki-drogowe--004.html). The background should roll left, but in the above mentioned browsers it jumps up. Moreover the scrolling with menu dots is not fluent on Firefox, but I guess it is due to Firefox issues? The same layout but in vertical version rolls fluently in Firefox (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/polskie-wypadki--005.html).
Now, viewing the website on new smartphones and tablets. I know it is not a mobile/tablet layout, but I tried to make it possible to be used on mobile hardware with HD (1280) display. I mean most of all horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2015-hyundai-genesis.html), where If we want to roll left, we need to roll down. Is there a way to make it possible to move the finger the direction in which the layout goes?
On Android phones (Nexus 4, Android 4.4.2, Chrome 32) the fade away background effect does not work, although I have spent a lot of time over it (http://www.leftlane.pl/lut14/koniec-produkcji-elektrycznego-renault-fluence-ze!.html). It is ok on PC, but on the phone it does not look good. A whole picture moves from a lower layer instead of an edge which spoils everything.
This layout does not look good on Android (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html#a07). The background does not fill the whole width of a page. There are also problems with a photo gallery, where full screen pictures should fill more of a screen.
Is it possible to make an option of scroll effects/motions for a fullscreen slideshow widget thumbnails (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06)? It would help me with designing layouts. Currently, it can go from a bottom of a page at x1 speed or emerge (like in this layout) by changing opacity. Something more will be needed, I suppose.
Sometimes the pictures from gallery (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06 download very slowly. The website is hosted at Business Catalyst. I cannot state when exactly it happens, most of the time it works ok.
I really like layouts like this (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a03). On the top is a description and a main text, and the picture is a filled object with a hold set at the bottom edge. That is why there is a nice effect of a filling a whole screen- nevertheless the resolution that is set. It works perfect on PC, but on Android the picture goes beyond the screen. You can do something about it?
In horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html) holding of a filling object does not work. Everything is always held to upper edge of a screen regardless the settings. Possibility of holding the picture to the bottom edge or center would make my work much easier.
According to UE regulations we have to inform about the cookies. I do not know how to do it in Muse. I mean, when the message shows up one time and is accepted, there would be no need to show it again and again during another visit on the website. Is there any way to do it? Is there any widget for it maybe?
The YouTube widget sometimes changes size just like that. It is so when the miniature of the movie does not load, and the widget is set to stroke (in our case 4 pixels, rounded to 1 pixel). As I remember ( in case of a load error) it extends for 8 pixels wide.
Last but not least - we use the cheapest hosting plan in Business Catalyst. The monthly bandwidth is enough, although we have a lot of pictures and we worried about it at first. Yet we are running out of the disk storage very quickly. We have used more than a half of a 1 GB after a month. We do not want to change BC for a different one, because we like the way it is connected with Muse. But we do not want to buy the most expensive package - but only this one has more disk space. We do not need any other of these functions and it would devastate our budget. Do we have any other option?
I’m using Adobe Muse 7.2 on OS X 10.9.1.
and I'm sending Muse file to <[email protected]>

Unfortunatley, there is no way to get a code view in Muse. I know quite a few people requested it in the previous forum, but not really sure where that ended up. Also, you may not want to bring the html into DW unless you only have 1 or 2 small changes 2 make. Two reasons. First, it isnt backwards compatible, so if you are planning on updating that site in Muse, you will need to make those changes in DW everytime you update. Second, by all accounts the HTML that Muse puts out is not pretty or easy to work with. Unlike you, I am code averse, but there was a lenghty discussion on the previous forum on this topic. I know they were striving to make it better with every release, just not sure where it is at this point.
Dont think I am reading that second question right, but there was a ton of info on that old site. You may want to take a look there, people posted a ton of great unique solutions, so it worth a look.

Nexus 7010 fabric extender timing out

Hello -
We have a Nexus 7010 and we are testing out using the fabric extenders for a need. We have a demo 2224 unit and have it connected to our M132XP-12 10G blade in the 7K but the FEX won't come online.

Hi Jack -
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, yes that is already complete. I was hoping that would be an easy fix. When we upgraded to 5.1(2) we did the 5.1 EPLD. I ran the install all impact command noted below for the 5.1 EPLD just to make sure it didn't report anything else as needing upgrade.

Nexus 7010 upgrade path

We currently have two Nexus 7010 with 5.0(2a) as system images.
We would need to know the correct upgrade path to 6.1(1). On the release notes it reads the path is from 4.2(8), 5.0(5) or 5.1(6) to 5.2(5) then to 6.1(1).
Also if ISSU is possible or, because we may need to upgrade EPLD, if there is no upgrade path to do a non-disruptive upgrade.

You probably need to dig a little deeper to get a definitive answer (sup1 or 2, type of cards, etc..) but here is a diagram in the release notes for 6.1 found here:

Question about the new Yoga 10 HD+

Hi
A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD+ which I hope you can answer.
I bought the old model last year. Loved the design and long battery time but a few major issues made me return it.
Somewhere I read that it can't read NTFS over USB so I presume that's the same with an NTFS formatted microSD card?
Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
Anyone observed issues regarding audio over bluetooth?
(I know BT isn't exactly High End HiFi but the old Yoga 10 for some odd reason - most likely a driver issue which nobody cared to fix - sounded *much* worse with quite noticeably distortion while both my phone and a cheap noname tablet I have zero fidelity issues - no matter which of my bluetooth audio devices I tried aptX or not)
So to avoid buying this only to return it too I really would like to see if I can have my questions answered before buying it.
While I love the form factor and long running time the above issues are just two mayor dealbreakers to me. Bad audio quality = no joy listening to spotify, local MP3s etc. No NTFS or exFAT = no large movies.
My old noname android tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious whether this can be it or I should look at the competition and sacrify form factor and battery runtime.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
If it's not supporting either NTFS or exFAT on the microSD have anyone tried ext3 and/or ext4?
I mean with Androids Linux roots it should be a nobrainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where there *might* be some issues with Microsoft.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks!
OK. Seems I should just stay clear of this and look elsewhere
Sony for sure I know support exFAT. I'm usure about Samsung. Odd it seems so hard to find out. File sizes of +4 GB should be taken for granted - it's not 199x anymore...
Oh well. Wonder whether to just go for one from the competition or perhaps just save the money and wait until 64 bit catches on. Rumors is that the next Nexus 8 will be 64 bit... (I really don't expect an answer on this)

Disruptive ISSU 6.1.4a- 6.2.8 on Nexus 7010 sup1 because of LACP timers.

Hi all.
The problem.
Today I updated my Nexus 7010 sup1 from 6.1.4a to 6.2.8.
I want did it in ISSU mode, but after impact check I got this:
Compatibility check is done:
Module bootable Impact Install-type Reason
1 yes non-disruptive rolling
2 yes non-disruptive rolling
3 yes non-disruptive rolling
4 yes non-disruptive rolling
5 yes disruptive reset Some LACP ports not in steady state or operating in 'rate fast' mode.
6 yes disruptive reset Some LACP ports not in steady state or operating in 'rate fast' mode.
7 yes non-disruptive rolling
8 yes non-disruptive rolling
9 yes non-disruptive rolling
10 yes non-disruptive rolling
Additional info for this installation:
Service "lacp" in vdc 1: LACP: Upgrade will be disruptive as 6 switch ports and 0 fex ports are not upgrade ready!!
Issue the "show lacp issu-impact" cli for more details.
(modified the impact to <Hitful> for module <6>)
Do you want to continue with the installation (y/n)? [n] y
I went on with yes and update script reboot both sups after updated all modules.
It was quite a surprise for me (yes I know I must see word "disruptive" opposite my sups 5 and 6). Because I already had done two ISSU updates on two nexuses (from 5.1.* ->5.2.7 and 5.2.7 -> 6.1.4a) and didn`t have any trouble with LACP timers. Is it a new feature of the 6.* train?
I have another Nexus that I want to update. And it also has same problem with LACP timers.
show install all impact give me the same disruptive result because of LACP.
Can I somehow suppress such ISSU behavior? In case of LACP. I don`t have vPC, just ordinal PC.
It is a way better if some LACP interfaces flap in process, than an almost 14 minutes of all 7010 chassis reboot that I had.
Although problem with LACP timers is that they must be the same on the switch side and on the other side. And in case of switches, linux boxes or HP VCs changing LACP timers isn`t a big problem. IT is a biggg problem in case of the Windows Server.
sh lacp interface ethernet 8/13
Interface Ethernet8/13 is up
Channel group is 13 port channel is Po13
Local Port: Eth8/13 MAC Address= 40-55-39-23-1e-c1
System Identifier=0x8000, Port Identifier=0x8000,0x80d
Operational key=12
LACP_Activity=active
LACP_Timeout=Long Timeout (30s)

System Identifier=0xffff, Port Identifier=0xff,0x1
Operational key=17
LACP_Activity=active
LACP_Timeout=short Timeout (1s)
They must be the same and equal 30s for successful ISSU

Data Center Hall Temperature for Cisco Nexus 7010

Hi,
I Have a Nexus 7010 that sometimes raise an alarm about temperature thresholds that are being exceeded.... I was wondering if Cisco has a recommendation (or best practice) about the correct temperature that the Nexus need in the cold and hot hall of the data room. I know that the operative temperature of nexus is 0 - 40°C but i´m not sure if my halls are in the best temperature.

Hi Salvador,
As long as you keep your Data Center environment in this operative range your N7K will be fine.
The usual is around 18°C and 24°C.

Nexus 7010 mgmt0 useage opinion

As a Senior Network Engineer I have entered into a bit of a debate with our Architect about the use of the mgmt0 interfaces on the nexus 7010 switch (dual-sups, M2 and F2 linecards).
I would like to know opinion of the Cisco support network.
I believe the mgmt0 interface should left alone for control plane traffic only and Out Of Band management access (ie ssh). At the moment I have made a subnet for all VDCs with the mgmt0 (vrf management) sitting in a common subnet. The physical mgmt0 interfaces from both SUPs are connected a management hand off switch. The mgmt0s also serves as our control plane for VPCs. The VPC peer-link however is using main interfaces of the line-cards.
The opinions;
- The Architect thinks we should use all the mgmt0 interfaces for snmp, ntp, tacacs netflow-analysis and switch management.
- However, I think I should use a traditional Loopback to perform these functions within the linecards. The mgmt0 should only be used if traditional restricted switch access has failed.
My Basis;
the Loopback never goes down, uses multiple paths (the OOB hand off switch could fail closing switch management access completely). The mgmt0 should be used as a last resort of management access to CMP.
Thoughts please - Cheers

I see your point about wanting to mitigate the impact of losing the OOB switch. I don't think the mgmt0 interface going down is considered the level of failure that will trigger a Supervisor switchover though. That's the way I read the Nexus 7000 HA whitepaper (and what I've seen based on some limited experience with taking apart a 7k pair).
So, no the 7k can't send you an SNMP trap or syslog message if it's configured management path is offline. Mitigation of that could be via your NMS polling the devices's mgmt0 addresses. No response = trouble in paradise. Investigation step would be to log into the 7ks using the loopback IP and local authentication since your TACACS source-interface (mgmt0) is offline and going from there.
The handful I've built (mostly 5k setups) I go for a Cat 3k switch with dual power supplies as the OOB switch. Once one of those is setup and seen not to be DOA, it's generally going to stay up until someone goes in and uplugs it or initiates a system reload.

Ciscoview Package File for Nexus 7010

I found an old support modules table at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_ciscoview/device_support/table/cvsdt.html
dated Feb 28, 2012. I cannot find one newer.
I have LMS 4.1 and I'm trying to render a Nexus 7010 in Ciscoview. I have downloaded the latest package files. The Sup2 and Fab2 modules (N7K-SUP2 and N7K-C7010-FAB-2) show as "unsupported card".
What packages and versions are required to recognize this card with LMS 4.1?

The Sup2 requires 9.0 of the package file (dated 1/2/2013). You can download it here. (Click all Releases, 6.1.0, then choose the Nexus 7000 package.)
The readme is here. It mentions the N7K-C7009-FAB2 is supported (since 7.0) but nothing about the 7010-FAB-2 so you may still be out of luck on that one.

Configuring NTP on the nexus 7010

Hi All,
I'm a little confused about how to configure NTP on the nexus 7010. I have an admin VDC and four working VDCs. I read that you can only configure NTP on the admin VDC but the commands are also available on the other VDCs. As the admin VDC is setup as an admin VDC it doesn't allow any commands other than those used to configure the other VDCs. If I configure 'clock protocol ntp vdc X' from the admin vdc conf t cli it doesn't appear to apply that command to the individual VDCs. If I try that command on each of the VDCs I get an error message. If I do a 'show ntp peer-status' I get a message stating 'the clock is not controlled by ntp' with an explanation teling me to use the 'clock protocol ntp vdc X' command however as already explained that doesn't appear to work. I'm running nxos 6.2
Any help, documentation etc would be greatly appreciated.

An update.
I have now configured NTP. The 'clock protocol ntp vdc X' command is accessed from the conf t Cli within the admin VDC. From my reading of the NXOS documentation from 6.2 you should be able to run NTP in multiple VDCs however this does not appear to be the case. I've configured the admin VDC as the NTP master.

Nexus 7010 and ESX Host

Hi,
We are currently seeing issues on a ESX Host using 10G Fibre dual connectivity to a pair of Nexus 7010's using vPC for the port channel to this ESX host which was working fine , up to this weekend. No changes had been made on the Nexus or ESX host.
We have changed the hardware path for the believed fault on a vmnic which when part of the virtual switch cause VM's on the Host to stop pinging, although we still see a CDP neighborship with the ESX from the Nexus, but changing fibre and Nexus ports has not worked.
As part of the testing , the vmware guy was removing this 'faulty' vmnic from the Virtual switch , which is part of an ether channel bundle his end. My first question is, how does the Nexus detect a link leaving the bundle for the ESX host , when the actual physical link is still up , and all they have done is software removed it from on the ESX, as the Nexus will still attempt to push traffic across both bundled links. I know there is the Cisco 1000V software , which can be used at an extra price, but is this the only option.
Any help will be gladly welcome.

Hi
How the switch detects a link 'moving out' of the Etherchannel would depend on how you have configured it...
If you have used 'channel-group x mode on' under the physical ports in the channel, then it will not detect the change, and you will get problems. The solution is to ensure the config of the channel on both ends (server/switch) is consistent in this case. An inconsistent config will cause you connectivity issues.
If the switch automatically negotiates the Etherchannel (i.e. you are using LACP, and the server supports LACP) then it should detect the change.
Regards
Aaron
