Issues with a port-channel between Nexus 5K and 4506

I'm having some trouble configuring an up-link from a Cisco 4506 to a set of Nexus 5k switches and cannot get either side to recognize the media. My configuration is as follows...
Nexus 5k
interface Ethernet1/22
  description ## 1A ##
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk native vlan 150
  speed 1000
Cisco 4506
interface GigabitEthernet1/6
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk native vlan 150
 switchport mode trunk
I am using 1gb sfp's (GLC-SX-MM) and I have verified that the fiber cables I am using and the fiber between closets is in working condition. But I cannot get the interface to come up. 

I tried that and I could see the status light on the ports come on but it still showed not connected.
I configured another switch (a 3560) with the same config and the same layout with the fiber and I got the connection up on it. I just cant seem to get it on the 4506, would it be something with the supervisor? Could it be wanting to use the 10gb port instead of the 1gb ports?

  • SAN Port-Channel between Nexus 5000 and Brocade 5100

    I have a Nexus 5000 running in NPV mode connected to a Brocade 5100 FC switch using two FC ports on a native FC module in the Nexus 5000. I would like to configure these two physical links as one logical link using a SAN Port-Channel/ISL-Trunk. An ISL trunking license is already installed on the Brocade 5100. The Nexus 5000 is running NX-OS 4.2(1), the Brocade 5100 Fabric OS 6.20. Does anybody know if this is a supported configuration? If so, how can this be configured on the Nexus 5000 and the Brocade 5100? Thank you in advance for any comments.
    Best regards,
    Florian

    how many ports are you using in this port channel.
    can you paste the configuration of the channel ports and the interface.
    check the sh log if you are getting any log related to the port channeling.

  • Create port channel between UCS-FI and MDS 9124 (F Mode)

    Dear Team,
    We were trying to create  port channel between UCS FI and MDS 9124
    But the port channel not getting active in F mode on MDS 9124
    FI is in FC End Host Mode
    We have enabled FC uplink trunking on FI
    We have enabled NPIV on MDS
    We have enabled trunk on MDS
    FI and MDS in default VSAN
    To check we changed the FI mode to FC Switching mode and port channels became active but in E mode
    when we enabled FC uplink trunking on FI and FC Switching mode port channels became active in TE mode
    but in both the above cases showflogi database shows WWPN of SAN alone not showing any from FI.
    How to achive this?
    Have read that no need to change the swicthing mode to FC Switching mode and keep as FC Endhost mode
    SO how to achieve Port channel with F mode in MDS and FI ( Mode showing as NProxy)
    Does it has to do anything with MDS NX-OS version? (https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2179129)
    If yes how to upgrade as license for ports came along with Device and we do not have any PAC/PAK or license file as it came
    with license
    Also we have seen 2 files availabe for download (m9100-s2ek9-kickstart-mz.5.2.8b.bin and m9100-s2ek9-mz.5.2.8b.bin) which to use
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Jo Bo,
    what version of software if your MDS running?
    On your UCS do connect nxos and show inteface brieft and look at the mac address.
    it is possible that you might be hitting the bug below. if this is the case you might need to upgrade the firmware on your MDS.
    Add MAC OUI "002a6a", "8c604f", "00defb" for 5k/UCS-FI

  • Configure port channel between IO Module and FI

                       Hi,
    I have the current setup
    UCS chassis (4 uplinks) --> FI --> (Port channel) --> N5K --> (port channel) --> VSS 6500
    I configure port channel between IO Module and the FI by changing to policy to "Port Channel" and set the link to 4
    FI has created a portchannel under "Internal" containing all the FI interfaces that are connected to the IO module.
    I have installed ESXI on a blade but i was unable to reach it, even the esx was unable to ping the gateway.
    VLAN tagging is enabled from the ESX server.
    I have issued the command "show mac address-table | inc <mac address of the vnic assigned from thre service profile> on both the N5K and thr 6500 and the mac is there.
    I have allowed all the vlans on the vNIC from the service profile.
    am I missing anything?
    thanks

    Hello,
    Can you please check whether your ESXi vmkernel interface ip address learned on right VLAN on FI / upstream switch or not.
    connect nxos
    show mac-address-table | inc

  • HT4557 Issues with my home sharing between my iPad and my iPhone

    I have recently changed my Apple ID name, its still the same account. I have logged out of iTunes and Music on my iPhone and iPad and logged in with the new name for my apple ID. My home sharing is now not working. I have just bought a song on my iPad and when I see it on my iPhone I just shows as being purchased and won't let me ICloud it over to my iPhone

    All purchases are tied to one apple ID. That is not the same as the email you may have changed with the ID.
    If I initially purchase with [email protected] and then try to change the id to [email protected] it will not work. However, if I purchased with [email protected] and changed the email associated with [email protected] to [email protected] then there should be no issues.
    You really need to answer Diesel's questions above so we can help you better.

  • LACP port channel between 6509 and Nexus 7K

    We are in the process of migrating from dual 6509's to dual 7010's.  We have moved our 5k/2K's behind the 7K and have layer 2 up between the 6509 and 7K.  This link is configured as a port channel with 2 1gig links using LACP.  The port channel is up and working and traffic is passing but it doesn't appear the load it equally distributed between the links.  Both the 7K and 6K are setup for src-dst-ip for the load balancing.  The links have been in place for over 12 hours and I would have expected them to "equal" out.  Has anyone had this issue in or is this to be expected?  For clarification there is not VPC inolved in this configuration it is simply a port-channel between one 6509 and a 7010.
    Thanks,

  • FC Port Channel between UCS and MDS.

    Hi All,
    I am new to Cisco Fabric Concepts. In my enviornment i have a F port channel(8 Port Group) created on MDS 9513 switch and this Fport 
    channel is connected to Cisco UCS 6296 FI. The Cisco UCS Blade servers are connected to the Fabric Interconnect .
    On MDS NPIV is enabled.
    Can anyone explain the below questions.
    1. Why do we create an F port Channel Group and connect it to the UCS FI? Is this something similar to Brocade Edge to AG Switch Connectivity.
    2. How to configure F port Channel Group in MDS . Can anyone explain with an example.
    3. Do we need to make any Configuration on UCS FI ports for server connectivity and Channel port Connectivity if yes what are the steps required to 
    do the same.Does the WWPN shows up in the FLOGI Database if the connectivity and configuration looks good in UCS FI and MDS.
    4. What happens when a VSAN on MDS switch is added to the Port Channel.
    Thanks and Regards,

    1. Why do we create an F port Channel Group and connect it to the UCS FI? Is this something similar to Brocade Edge to AG Switch Connectivity.
    F port channel is proprietary; therefore any such F port channel between UCS FI and Brocade doesn't work.
    2. How to configure F port Channel Group in MDS . Can anyone explain with an example.

    flogi database is on the MDS, not FI; there are however UCS CLI commands, like "show npv ...."
    4. What happens when a VSAN on MDS switch is added to the Port Channel.
    If its not created on UCS, it will just not become the status "up"

  • SAN Port Channel between 6120 and Brocade

    Has anyone setup or know how to setup a SAN Port Channel between 6120s and a Brocade FC switch? I know that it requires UCS firmware 1.4 but I don't know what the Brocade requirements are.

    The SAN port channel is Cisco proprietory. You cannot setup SAN port channel with Brocade. Sorry

  • What can be the max difference in cable lengths that we can have between the ISLs in a port-channel between MDS switches?

    Hello All
    What can be the max difference in cable lengths that we can have between the ISLs in a port-channel between MDS switches? Do we have any documentation?
    Thanks
    Chetan

     competitive solution instead recommends a distance variance of 30 meters or less among ISLs within a trunk. If the distance variance is greater than 30 meters, undesired and degraded performance will occur. For example, if a trunk has a distance of 100 kilometers, the competitive trunking solution allows a cable length variance of only 0.03 percent!

  • FC port channels between MDS and UCS FI best practice?

    Hi,
    We would like to create FC port channels between our UCS FI's and MDS9250 switches.
    At the moment we have 2 separate 8Gbps links to the FI's.
    Are there any disadvantages or reasons to NOT do this?
    Is it a best practice?
    Thanks.

    As Walter said, having port-channels is best practice.  Here is a little more information on why.
    Let's take your example of two 8Gbps links, not in a port-channel ( and no static pinning ) for Fibre Channel connectivity:
    Hosts on the UCS get automatically assigned ( pinned ) to the individual uplinks in a round-robin fashion.
    (1)If you have some hosts that are transferring a lot of data, to and from storage, these hosts can end up pinned to the same uplink and could hurt their performance. 
    In a port-channel, the hosts are pinned to the port-channel and not individual links.
    (2)Since hosts are assigned to an individual link, if that link goes down, the hosts now have to log back into the fabric over the existing working link.   Now you would have all hosts sharing a single link. The hosts will not get re-pinned to a link until they leave and rejoin the fabric.  To get them load balanced again would require taking them out of the fabric and adding them back, again via log out, power off, reload, etc...
    If the links are in a port-channel, the loss of one link will reduce the bandwidth of course, but when the link is restored, no hosts have to be logged out to regain the bandwidth.

    Jim
