C-200 M2 with P81E to Nexus 5548UP

Hi all,
I'm working on a project which is about to set up a Cisco UCS Lab.
Actually the topology looks simple and easy but there must be some missconfiguration on my side because i can't see any of IDs (P81E's wwpn and mac address info) from the Nexus 5548UP.
I connected my 5548UP to MDS 9124 for providing the FCoE traffic to the C-200 Farm.
Then i configured the MDS with NPIV and converted couple of ethernet ports to the FC ports on 5548UP (which i'm using to connect to the MDS)
Finally i connected my C-200M2's VIC to the 5548UP but i couldn't see any information about server. The ports actually are up. But can't see nothing.
Some help and advises will be appreciated.

Padma,
Right now i connected the N5548 directly to the storage for that reason you can not see the fc uplink connections on running-configuration.
On Nexus 5548 ;
     Ethernet 1/1 and Ethernet 1/2 are the server ports (P81E)
     Ethernet 1/15 is the Uplink Ethernet port
     Fc 1/31 1/32 is the Storage Ports
     Storage has been configured for the wwpns and LUNs.
And here is the configuration :

  • Nexus 5548UP with 1Gb ether to 10Gb ether on same switch

    I have a Nexus 5548UP switch with a couple of systems some of which have been configured with 1Gb nic's running various OS's and other that have 10Gb nic's.  When I try to SSH from 1Gb box to a 1Gb box everything is fine, when I SSH from 1Gb to 10Gb box it does not work but 10Gb to 10Gb boxes will work.  The switch is a fresh install and has one VLAN 51 the first 2 ports are setup with LACP and the only differences is speed of 1000 and 10000 for the boxes attached.  Is there some trick or additional configuration that is needed to make 1Gb to 10Gb work for SSH and other applications?  I trying to setup some test boxes now to have a repeatable environment and will update when completed.

  • Cisco Nexus 5548UP and FI6248UP compatibility with FC SFP

    Cisco Nexus 5548UP and FI 6248UP comes with Unified Ports. What are the SFP types this port can take? 1Gig, 10Gig and 2/4/8FC. Could you please clarify?  
    Thanks,
    Cheriyan

    Hi Cheriyan,
    Here is te URL to the 6200 series FI data sheet:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/ps10265/ps11544/data_sheet_c78-675245.pdf
    Check for the table to supported SFPs.
    Same for the 5500 switches

  • Nexus 5548UP with Checkpoint firewall

    I know this is a little out of scope, but was hoping someone would have some insight.
    I have two Checkpoint firewalls connected to Cisco Nexus 5548UPs 10G. I am noticing a lot of dropped RC on the Checkpoint interfaces. I'm wondering if the firewalls cannot support the fast cut-through speed of the Cisco switches. Is there anything I can do on the Cisco side to help the Checkpoints handle the traffic? Flow control maybe? Thanks.

    Hi Adnan,
    Kindly check the PPT attached  for more detailed design tips for same.

  • LMS User Tracking for NEXUS 5548UP

    Dear,
    A while ago I received a ticket from one of our customers because User Tracking was not working for NEXUS 5548UP on LMS 3.2. I opened a TAC case for this but this was normal since it is a Datacenter switch. Now the customer came back on this because they really want to see which server is connected to which switch port. I understood from the TAC engineer this is not on the roadmap to integrate in LMS 4.x. They want to know if there exists another product (they thought about DCNM) and wanted to know how this integrates or works together with LMS...
    Kind regards,
    Sven Laureyssens                    

    My latest understanding of User Tracking and Nexus 5K series is that it is not supported due to a limitation of the MIB support in the NX-OS.
    The current DCNM (release 5.2) is distinct from the LMS and Cisco Prime umbrella but that wil be changing a bit moving forwad as DCNM is enhanced and rolled into the Cisco Prime family. Last I heard there should be some information coming out of Cisco Live this week and a new release will have some additional functionality and better integration. Still, I doubt we'll see UT for the 5K due to the NX-OS limitation.
    One way to do what you're asking apart from use of any of the Cisco products is to enable LLDP on your Nexus and servers. That will at least give you the ability to pull the information from the NX-OS command line ("show lldp neighbor")

  • Nexus 5548UP L3 card swap out for L2 cards

    Hi everyone,
    I have two Nexus 5548UPs and I am going to swap out the L3 cards and put in L2 cards.
    I can't seem to get a straight answer out of TAC so I thought I'd try here.
    How will this affect the current configuration (apart of course from removing the L3 capability)?
    Will swapping the cards clear the config?
    Will swapping the cards clear the licenses?
    It's a very simple config so that doesn't worry me that much .. but if it will clear the licenses installed than I need to take action on that.
    Thanks,
    BR

    on first switch i made slot 2 as fc ports & after reload  i can see fc ports.
    slot 2
      port 1-16 type fc
    However with same procedure on switch 2 , i cant see any FC ports nor module 2 ports.
    if i turn module 2 ports to ethernet i can see E2/1 - E2/16 , but no ports when they are configures as FC.
    any idea ???
    Confused as both switches have same lic installed.
    Thanks in Advance.

    After the port type has been changed from Ethernet to FC, the FC port will not be enabled on the switch until FCOE feature is enabled:

    fc_plugin extracted successfully
    FC plugin loaded successfully
    FCoE manager enabled successfully
    FC enabled on all modules successfully
    Enabled FCoE QoS policies successfully
    After that, we verify that the port type is changed successfully and the FC ports appear on the switch:

  • Nexus 5548UP airflow

                       is it possible to change the airflow of the Nexus 5548UP in the field by replacing fan and power supply or must the correct airflow been ordered.

    I just completed the change of airflow direction for Nexus 5548UP while the switch is still online and running.   It is possible to swap fan and power modules without shutting down the switch.  There are few catches that you need to pay attentions when you want to change the airflow directions:
    To swap two fans and two power modules on Nexus 5548UP while it's running:
    1) make sure you have the latest IOS or at least 6.0+, I have system: version 6.0(2)N2(1).  Also, please don't forget to save running config just in case if the switch will be shutdown.
    2) make sure you have all your new fans and power modules unpacked and ready to be installed 
    3) connect to the switch console port to monitor the logs and status
    4) Pay attention to the switch console, it will give out warnings about fan failure (but switch will continue to run).
    5) Important: The first new fan that you just replaced (with opposite airflow direction), the switch will detect the the incorrect airflow, and begin to give out warnings with countdown timer.  You have only less than 60 seconds to complete the rest of swapping before the switch will shutdown.  Not only you need to swap out each module quickly, but need to pay attention to each new module wait for it online before replacing the next module.
    6) To start the process, insert in the first new fan with opposite airflow direction, take about few seconds and wait for spinning up [green light].  The switch  console will display:  "incorrect airflow detected, the switch will shutdown in 60 seconds.....".  Just move onto next step...
    7) replace the second fan, wait few seconds for new fan to spin up [green light].  
    8) replace the first power module
    9) Important: make sure the first new power module is online [green light], then you can proceed and replace the second power module. 
    10) Completed! you may check "show inventory" to see if all new fans and power modules are online and shown.  The switch was up and running the whole time.
    Please give rating if it helps you!  Thanks!

  • Connecting many Brocade switches to Nexus 5548UP

    Hello,
    I have a SAN network composed of few separate PODs. Each POD is divided into SAN-A and SAN-B. Most of those PODs are Brocade switches (FOS 6.1). There are also few Nexus 5520s. Now, we have built new core infrastructure with Nexus 5548UPs and many MDS 9148s. We would like to move all servers and sotrage from old Brocades to the new SAN. As we cannot move all devices at the same time, all segments must be connected to the core for some time. Each POD has different zoning. Some zonings on Brocade switches are based on PWWN, some on Domain ID and Port ID. In my opinion, the only way of successfuly connecting all PODs together is to merge zones manualy (in excel, etc). and paste them on all switches. However, maybe there is some other way of merging all zones? What if I leave Nexus 5548UP in native mode (so zones from Brocade will not get merged), and only implement that manually merged zoneset on Nexus 5548UP? Will the ISL links get isolated due to zoning merge failure? Or they will maintain operational state even if zones are different on each POD? I do not have any lab boxes, so I cannot test it. Any advidse will be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Krzyszof

    well since you can not cluster the 45K as a virtual switch ( Cisco with new sup will start support VSS in the 4500 try to check which sup exactly and if you can upgrade as this will make a significant improvement to your design )
    anyway the only method that you can use currently is the traditional way which is depending on STP ( use rapid-PVST)
    from each N5K use one separate link to each 45K and STP will put on of the links in blocking mode
    however you might do some STP and vlan design for load sharing where you can send vlan x over link1 and vlan y over link b to the 45K using STP cost

  • Connect Nexus 5548UP-L3 to Catalyst 3750G-24T-E Layer 3 Switch

    Please help!
    Could anyone out there please assist me with basic configuration between Nexus Switch and Catalyst Switch, so that devices connected on the catalyst switch can talk to devices connected on nexus switch and vice-versa? In my current setup all servers on VLAN 40 are connected on the Catalyst Switch A as shown in the diagram below, and all desktops and all other peripherals are connected on the Catalyst Switch B.  I am required to implement/add a new Nexus Switch 5548 that in the future will replace the Switch A. From now I just need to connect both switches together and start moving the server from Switch A to the Nexus Switch.
    The current network setup is shown as per diagram below:
    SWITCH A – this is a layer 3 switch. All servers are connected to this switch on the VLAN 40.
    SWITCH B – all desktops, VoIP telephones, and printers are connected on tis switch. This switch is also a layer 3 switch.
    I have connected together the Nexus 5548UP and SWITCH A (3750G) using the GLC-T= 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver module for Category 5 copper wire. The new network is shown as per diagram below:
    Below is the configuration I have created in both Switches:

  • Nexus 5548UP Nx-OS.7.0.5.N1.1 GLC-T known issue

    Hi,
    We have a couple of Nexus 5548UP Nx-OS .7.0.5.N1.1.
    since we upgraded from 6.0.2.N2.1, we can't use newly configured ports with GLC-T .
    The Already configured and in use GLC-T's are still working.
    Are there any known issue?
    Do I only have to upgrade or Sale the GLC-T ?
    Thank

    Hi, I have upgraded from 5.2.1.N1.4 to 7.1.0.N1.1b.
    There were many bugs.
    I found we can't upgraded to 7.1.0 from NX-OS prior to 7.0 in Cisco official.
    So, I have upgraded to 7.0.5N1.1 then to 7.1.0N1.1b.
    In result, some part of startup-config such as logging server  is lost.
    I'm going to try to upgrade in same process a few times.

  • Cisco Nexus 5548UP connecting to HP P4330 StoreVirtual over iScsi

    Hi,
    I need some advice when it comes to how to setup a port-channel between Nexus 5548UP and a HP StoreVirtual 4330 device. The idea is to use 2 10 GB ports in a port-channel group and this far I've this on the port-channel group;
    interface port-channel1002
      priority-flow-control mode off
      switchport access vlan 400
      load-interval counter 2 30
      load-interval counter 3 300
    What about priority-flow-control, any needs to change anything here? Any other things that needs to be considered when using iScsi?
    Much appreciated!
    Tony Lewis

    Hi Tony,
    You do not have to worry about PFC. Priority-Flow-Control is something which is related to FCOE or DCBX protocol. With iSCSI as this is a TCP traffic, you have to make sure that you have a proper QOS for the IP Subnet or VLAN that has your iSCSI hosts transmitting the data. As iSCSI rides over TCP this is the major issue that I have seen related to the valid QOS config for the traffic. There is not best practice for it but you have make sure that you added it to a class other than BE or Scavanger class.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Cisco Nexus 5548UP upgrade path

    Hi,
       I'm planning to upgrade Nexus 5548UP (no L3 services) from 5.2(1)N1(6)  to 7.0(5)N1(1). Is this upgrade path vaild? or is there any intermediate version; also advise if ISSU is possible.
    Regards,
    Navin RK

    Hi,
    Yes you can upgrade directly from 5.2(1)N1(6) to 7.0(5)N1(1).  ISSU is possible, provided you meet the requirements.  You can copy the kickstart and system image to bootflash, then run the "show install all impact" command to see whether or not ISSU will be possible with your configuration.
    Here is a document supporting the statements above: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5500/sw/upgrade/705_N1_1/n5500_upgrade_downgrade_700.html#pgfId-640981

  • Cisco Nexus 5548UP to Brocade SAN Connectivity

    Hi,
    I have a Server-SAN-Storage setup as shown in the attachment/below. There are new Cisco UCS rack mount servers with VIC 1225 and Virtual servers on VMware Esxi hypevisor connected to a new Cisco Nexus 5548UP switch in IP+FCoE mode. The new 5548 switch then connects to an existing production SAN of Brocade 48000 Director SAN switch which connects to storage in production environment.
    I need to know the best way to connect the 5548 switch to the Brocade SAN switch without disrupting the existing Production SAN environment i.e. Brocade SAN switch configurations & setup e.g. Fabric Principal switch. priority etc.
    Would configuring the 5548 switch in NPV mode be best practice?

    See Figure 6-2 Converged Multi-hop FCoE Network Design Using FCoE NPV
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/operations/fcoe/513_n1_1/ops_fcoe/ops_fcoe_npv.html
    You have to use NPV on N5k, there is no FC interop support on N5k, to connect to Brocade.
