Cisco Nexus 7010 Port-Channel

Hi all,
Hi have install a cisco nexus 7010 with the following modules :
Mod Ports Module-Type Model Status
1 48 1000 Mbps Optical Ethernet XL Modul N7K-M148GS-11L ok
2 48 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet XL Module N7K-M148GT-11L ok
5 0 Supervisor Module-2 N7K-SUP2 active *

10 48 1/10 Gbps Ethernet Module N7K-F248XP-25E ok
After trying to build a port-channel with a 1G port on slot 1 and a 1G port on slot 10 i get a messague with incompatible port.
Can any one tell me if its supported a port-channel with ports on the following modules :
N7K-M148GS-11L
N7K-F248XP-25E
Thanks
Patrício

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 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.

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.

Following objects from conventional CISCO-PROCESS-MIB provides you details on CPU on devices:
cpmCPUTotal5secRev     1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.6
cpmCPUTotal1minRev     1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.7
cpmCPUTotal5minRev      1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.8
Following document will be helpful as well:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk362/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094a94.shtml
As many MIBs are not completely implemented on NX-OS so there is one more MIB which can help, i.e CISCO-SYSTEM-EXT-MIB :
cseSysCPUUtilization(1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.305.1.1.1)
Unlike the averaged values from CISCO-PROCESS-MIB, cseSysCPUUtilization returns an un-smoothed value and typically shows more erratic results. It only shares the the average utilization of CPU on the active supervisor. So usually it is recommended to use the CISCO-PROCESS-MIB, ie. cpmCPUTotal5secRev instead.

Logging of commands on syslog server (Cisco Nexus 7010)

Please help.
How to set up logging of commands on syslog server ? (cisco nexus 7010)

Hi Igor
Nexus has internal accounting log: sh accouting log
But it can be sent only to the accounting server, not to a syslog server.
If you want - you man manually export it to some log.

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

Nexus 6K: Port-Channel Load-Balance

Hi all,
I configured "port-channel load-balance ethernet source-dest-mac" on Nexus 6001. But when I use "show run all | in load-balance", it displays module 1 and module 2 are still using source-dest-ip for port-channel load-balance. And for command "show port-channel load-balance" and "show port-channel load-balance forwarding-path interface", it still shows switch using MAC for hash algorithm. The NXOS is 6.0(2)N1(2a).
Does anybody know:
- What is the function of "port-channel load-balance ethernet source-dest-ip module" and in which situation this command will be effective?
- It shows "port-channel load-balance ethernet source-dest-ip module" command for both module 1 and 2. Module 1 is N6K Supervisor and module 2 is 4xQSFP Ethernet Module. Is it possible to set different load-balance algorithm  to these 2 modules?

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.

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.

I was trying :
1. I using non dedicated port in Nexus 7010.
      - rate-mode share
      - channel-group 1 mode active
      - switchport mode trunk
when i using this option, the port-channel in Nexus 7010 was suspended
2. I using non dedicated port in Nexus 7010
     - rate-mode share
     - channel group 1 mode on
     - switchport mode trunk
when i using this option, the port-channel in Nexus 7010 was came up, but in Fabric interconnect was failed.
3. I using dedicated port in Nexus 7010
     - rate-mode share
     - channel group 1 mode active
     - switchport mode trunk
when i using this option, the port-channel in Nexus 7010 was suspended
4. I using dedicated port in Nexus 7010
     - rate-mode dedicated
     - channel group 1 mode active
     - switchport mode trunk
when i using this option, the port-channel in Nexus 7010 was came up and running well.
but, the problem is my costumer do not want using a dedicated rate-mode. if i using dedicated mode the only available port is 8 interfaces instead of 32 ports. i want to using rate-mode share in nexus 7010.
is there any way to configuring port-channel using mode on in fabric interconnect ? i was trying using CLI to create port-channel in Fabric interconect but i cannot configure the channel group protocol.
i attach the topology of N7K with Fabric interconnect.

Hi Manish,
the issue was solved, i was fix it last week.
the solution is:
i enable the license grace-priode (since my license is Enterprise so cannot create VDC) then i create a VDC (ex: VDC 2) so i allocate the interface on all module

N7K-M132XP-12 to VDC 2. after that i delete VDC 2 then all interface back to VDC 1 (default vdc). then i enable the rate-mode share in dedicated port and bundle into port-channel and its working.
i dont know why it must move to VDC first then it will working, maybe cisco can explain the reasons.
So here the result of my port-channel :

Cisco Nexus 9300 Virtual Port Channel Support

Hi,
As I am new to Nexus 9300 and I was wondering if the switch may support virtual port channel (VPC)? I was wondering if there may be any feature matrix to compare it against the 9500/N7Ks/N5Ks
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Marvin,
Appreciate for the information. I believe the customer is in the process of moving to ACI gradually however the setup I will be making will be classical ethernet setup which is similar to VSS setup whereby the N9300 would make use of VPC to connect to catalyst 3K/6K switch. I have illustrated it below for reference:
      Catalyst 6500 Non-VSS (Core)
      |----(VPC)---|
N9300 ----- N9300   (Aggregation/Distribution)
      |----(VPC)---|
Catalyst 3K switch (Access)
Appreciate for clarrifiying the support for VPC for Nexus 9300 as I made a search on feature navigator for "Virtual Port Channel" which only listed the N7K platforms.
Thanks.

Maximum number of interfaces in Port Channel on Nexus 5596

Let me preface this by saying I am not a network expert....
I noticed that our customer had configured a port channel on their Nexus 5596 comprised of 16 interfaces. I thought the maximum number of interfaces in a port channel was 8 interfaces? I see in the Nexus 7000 documentation that if you configure 16 interfaces, the remaining 8 will be in "hot standby." Is this the same behavior on the Nexus 5000 series?
Thank you.

Same behavior on the 5500 series and other Cisco switches like 3750, 3850 , etc..
