N7k - Domain ID for double-sided vPC topology

I´m planning the configuration for 2 N7k using the following network diagram:

Hello Clark, thanks but this is not my case, I have 2 N7k, with 2 VDC on each, so I'll create a vPC from Core Switches and another vPC from Aggregation Switches, and my question is for vPC domain ID for each vPC configured.
What I had found till now, it's that it has to be different vPC domain ID.

Double-sided vpc Nexus7K and NExus 5K

I have two 5548UP connected to two Nexus 7k forming double sided vPC design. The 5k is acting as access layer top of the rack and 7k as aggregate. The 7k is configured with vrf contexts and vlans with vrrp.
I followed the best practices for double-sided vpc described in this document
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/design/vpc_design/vpc_best_practices_design_guide.pdf
I'm using the same port-channel-id and vpc-id in all 4 devices. I also have different vpc domain-ids for the N5K (domain-id:20) and N7K (domain-id:10)
All physical connectivity has been verified. I have 16-ports port-channels (8 ports on each peer)
I have also verified all vpc status: show vpc, show vpc consistency-parameters global, and everything looks good int both N5K and N7K: keepalive is alive, peer adjacency formed ok, all consistency status are success, etc
I have also checked port-channel configurations and each individual interface member of the port-channel
The problem I have is the port-channel in the N7K is no coming up and I just can't figure out why. I've checked all I can think of, and tried different things and the only way I can bring the port-channel up is if I shutdown all interfaces in the N5K connecting to the N7K except those between 5K-1 and 7K1 (primary devices) and remove the "vpc 31" command under port-channel 31
In the Nexus5K, things looks good, this is what I see when I check the status of the vpc
vPC status
id     Port        Status Consistency Reason                     Active vlans
31     Po31        up     success     success                    14-16,24,28
                                                                 -31
However, in the N7K this is what I get. There are not consistency errors, but still the status of the port-channel is down.
vPC status
id   Port      Status Consistency Reason                  Active vlans
31   Po31      down   success     success                    -
sh int po31
port-channel31 is down (inactive)
admin state is up
vPC Status: Up, vPC number: 31
Any ideas what could be wrong? has anyone experienced similar issue?
Any suggestions are welcome.

Could you provide a quick diagram and the output of 'show port-channel summary' on both switches.

Double sided VPC/enhanced VPC and MST

Hello,
I have some doubts/clarifications regarding MST with VPC--
There are two N7K core switches and four N5K switches and eight N2K.
there will be double sided VPC between N5K and N7K.
there will be enhanced vpn between N5k and n2k.
N7Ks will be connected to fifteen 4500.
Each 4500 will be in a VPC with N7k.
Each 4500 is single homed to 15 catalyst edge switches
Assume MST needs be configured in this network.
1) On MST instance - on N7K as per cisco design guide
2) Map all vlans (1-3967,4048-4093) in this instance N7K as per cisco design guide
3) No need to hard code root as peer switch command will be used
Now the concern that i have is regarding MSt configuration on all 4500.
1) 4500 number 1 may have vlans 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 4500 number 2 may have vlans 2,11,12,13,14,15,16
so can i just map all vlans to the single instance like instance 1 vlan 1-4094 on all catalysts 4500?
2) catalyst edge switches all run PVST+, i believe 4500 mst will interoperate with edge switch pvst+.
Is there any othe things that need tobe taken care of in this scenario?
Regards

1) If you are using MST with single region, I don't see the point. It can be done with RPVST+ without any interop worries.
2) Same as 1.
3) This is not true, with peer-switch feature, it is a BP to hard code the N7K as STP root with the same priority value, otherwise, the smallest switch ID will be the root. In you case, most likely the oldest switch will become the root if you don't hard code it.
To your second set of questions:
1) Yes, you need to match all your region(s) with the same VLANs, otherwise, you will have MST inconsistency.
2) Yes.

How do I setup magazine to view pages consecutively, but print for double sided 11x17?

I have a quarterly newsletter I've begun. I set it up as (8) 11x17 pages with (2) 8-1/2" x 11" page views per 11x17 page, so that when they print double sided, there are consecutive. The problem is that when I am trying to navigate from page to page, they are not consecutive on the screen. Is there a way to set up the pages at 8-1/2" x 11" consecutively in InDesign, but send to printer for two sided 11x17 and have the pages come out in the right place?
Not sure that I am describing properly. For instance viewing an 11x17 page (Page 1 as far as InDesign is concerned), the right half is Page 1, and the left half is page 16; or (page 2 in InDesign) is page 15 on the left side, and page 2 on the right side. This all prints perfectly, but navigating it during layout is extremely cumbersome. Also, printing for general public PDF viewing is impossible.
Thanks, Rick

LOL - That for sure I knew. I just didn't know what to do about it. I checked Acrobat...but I never really noticed that "booklet" option before, and right now the magazine isn't setup right, so I can't tell if it's working. will it know that page 1 and page 16 go on the same side of one 11x17 sheet, and pages 2 and 15 go on the other side of that same page when printing two-sided?

Creating PDFs for Double Sided Printing Problem

I'm not having trouble printing, but with generating a pdf that will print double sided correctly. Currently I have a pdf with many invoices on it. Some are an odd number of pages long and some even. The problem I have is if I don't insert a blank page to the invoices with an odd number of pages (to make it even), then the next invoice's 1st page will be on the back of the previous invoice.
Example:
Invoice #1 has 3 pages
Invoice #2 has 4 pages
Invoice #3 has 2 pages
After double-siding
Invoice #1
Page 1
Front: Page 1 from Invoice 1
Back: Page 2 from Invoice 1
Page 2
Front: Page 3 from Invoice 1
Back: Page 1 from Invoice 2 <------ This is my issue

Hi Brian
this is addressed in 5.6.2, you can force and odd or even page to end the document, if you need the extra blank page to finish on a odd page say XMLP will insert it for you. Check the docs, http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_11/current/acrobat/115xdoug.zip

Double sided VPC- adding one more pair

I have 2 pair of 5k connected in double side vpc configuration. can i connect one more pair of 5k to the existing domain ?

Hi,
I don't see any issue with double sides vPC between two pairs of 5Ks. I think, the reason you don't see it often is because usually you have a set of 5ks with vPC as layer-2 and a set of 7Ks as layer-2/3. Of course you could use a second set of 5Ks in place of 7Ks and use them as layer-2/3. This is with daughter cards installed on 5Ks.

How to show the layout option for double-sided printing on Acrobat Pro X on Mac?

Adobe Acrobat Pro X version 10.0.0 print dialog does not show the option to select Layout for two-sided (double-sided) printing. How to fix it?
System: Mac OS X 10.6.6 on Mactel
Thanks.

David,
Wow, it worked. Many thanks. This is what I did, following your directions to print PDF files as double-sided:
01-Command P & Click "Printer button".
02-Click Yes.
03-Click the Popup Arrow to display contents.
04-Select Two-sided "Long-Edge binding" or whatever needed and Click Print.
05-Click OK to Print.
What fooled me is that from Word (.doc) files the screen on step 3 and 4 show directly selecting a popup menu on the initial print window, whereas when printing PDF files it is required to go through steps 1-2-3 above.
Again, many thanks. You made my day!!!

How do I set optrion for double sided e-print?

HP Office Jet 6500A Plus - Windows 7 -
I can set printer features to print double-sided, but Webprint always prints single sided only. Please help.
Thank you.
This question was solved.

Hello antuan333,
At this point ePrint does not support duplexing (double-sided) printing. ePrint is continually receiving updated features on a daily basis and hopefully this option will be available in the future but not presently.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

Acrobat print driver for double-sided option?

i pretty much feel like i am brain dead or something since moving back to mac OS when it comes to printing - and that is saying something considering i moved from windows.
in any event, despite the fact i have had a ton of help in trying to figure this out i still cannot figure out how to get an option to print double-sided on my HP officejet pro. every time i get in one of these to print to a second paper tray or to create black and white only prints or two to a page or whatever i feel like i am in some hall of mirrors created by mc escher. i /have/ gone in and set presets on the mac pro for 2 to a page through 16 to a page for black and white and for color prints and i have gone ahead and done the same for my laptop as well (sigh) - however something as simple as printing to a second tray for 11 x 17 or 12 x 18 paper on the epson (i move the trays /manually/ from to the first slot to get this to work) or printing 2 sided out of acrobat (i still can't figure this out) is mind bogglignglingling.
can anyone help me figure this out? i go rooting around around in here and then just flat out give up.
am i printing out of a mac user interface and i need to download an acrobat driver or something? someone helped me out on this earlier and i am trying to get it all finalized as best i can...
THANKS

hi eric. big thanks.
i am attaching the screenshot showing the two-sided HP option (in this case it is buried under "Driver").
i don't know but for the record - i am in 2014 and every email i get says "think of the environment before you print" and HP and Mac OS and Adobe can't get it together enough to let me /easily/ print to two sided paper???? am i missing something or is burying this setting in Settings > Select Your Printer > Driver a total wormhole and - well, why after checking this am i still at a loss to print to two sided paper out of Acrobat? i have an 104 page pdf document sitting here i can't print.
i mean, i think eric was kind enough to point this setting out to me before (and lord knows mother earth dearly hopes that the checkmark is the default setting...) but why with these three powerhouses am i still at a loss to get to two-sided out of acrobat?
at least Preview buries other things and leaves this one option staring me in the face each time i print...
THANKS

No longer receive dialog box for double sided printing

Usually when printing double sided documents the odd numbered pages print and then I get a dialog box telling me to flip over the pages and click continue and then the even numbered pages print. That box no longer appears after the odd numbered pages print and I'm unable to print the even numbered pages. 1. How do I get the dialog box back (perhaps someone clicked the box stating "do not show this message again"? 2. If I don't get the dialog box back, how do I print the even number pages without the dialog box? Currently, the power light blinks and no other documents can print. I have F380 printer and I have Windows Vista.

Smartform Printing Problem for double sided printing

Hi Techies,
I have created a smartform for invoice printing, using double side printing.
The requirement is that in the front page, page number has to be printed and at the back side static text is to be printed. So if my line items exceed to two pages. Than in printing, it is getting priinted as "Page 1 of 4" for the 1st invoice items page and "Page 3 of 4" for the second items page. But the client is asking it to be printed as "Page 1 of 2" & "Page 2 of 2" respectively.
Currently I am using Page&SFSY-PAGE& of &SFSY-FORMPAGES&.
Can anyone guide me how to achieve this requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Vinit.

Hi vinit,
better u declare your own variable . and check with sfsy , the footer window must be final window
data : lv_page type sfsy-page,
lv_tot_page type sfsy-page.
if sfsy-formpages > 2.
lv_tot_page = sfsy-page / 2.
if sfsy-page >2
lv_page = sfsy-page - 1.
else.
lv_page = sfsy-page.
endif.
else .
lv_page = sfsy-page.
lv_tot_page = sfsy-formpages.
endif

HP LaserJet 1300 - No Finishing options for double-sided manual printing

I connected my HP Laserjet 1300 printer to my iMac and installed the drivers but I do not have the same capability I had with Windows XP. I do not have the Preferences options to select "Print On Both Sides (Manually). Actually, I do not have access to the Printer Preferences screens with the Tabs - Advanced, Paper/Quality, Finishing, Effects. Are these capabilities available on the Mac?

I plan to keep the iMac. I ordered the new software CD for my LaserJet printer. I just don't know all the option clicks that are there. I called Apple Care and found out about the small box with the triangle that pulls down more printer options.
I really would rather not use Boot Camp. I plan to migrate completely to the Mac world. I started migrating my few Publisher docs to Pages. I just found flip4mac. I just have to accept the steep learning curve for about 1 month or so.
I'm going to mark this resolved at this time.
Thank you,
Ed

Tips for double sided printing

Hi team.
I have been working on a document which is in various sizes.
In essense its like tabs you pull out from a sleeve, so each one is exactly 2.3cm smaller than the last.
They work their way up to the size of UK size A4
Outputting from indesign produces these pages at their various sizes which is fine, but I need to print back to back onto A4 paper then trim. the result is back to back causes the print to be on say the left side of the page on both sides, meaning its not back to back.
What I think I need is for the files to output to A4 with appropriate marks, so I can print back to back simply. At the minute the only way I can think is to output to PDF then bring them page for page into illustrator and manually line them up for each page then output to PDF again. Seems really clunky.
I guess what I am asking is, even though the page is one size can I somehow output at A4 with it centered. Or does anyone have any tips on how I can best achieve this for printing with domestic style printers?

Create a new InDesign document, A4 with the apropriate number of pages.
Place then the original InDesign (File->Place). Don't forget the "Show Import Options" to be able to select all the pages of your document and apropriate cropping.
After this, you can manually put crop marks for each page to get the correct trim and export this to a PDF file.
Each time you change your source document, you need to update the links in the second file before outputting to PDF.
You have once to do some manual work for the rest I think it is quite straight forward.
When you add pages to the source document, you only need to import that page.

Can a PDF be made to by default print with "flip on short edge" set if printed double-sided?

I'm producing a 4-side, 1-sheet PDF booklet download. Our main target audience is professionals (not necessarily tech-profecient) who will download it and print it on regular office printers. Most modern office printers can print double-sided, so we expect people to print it on one sheet, fold it in the middle, and use it like that.
This gives us a problem: the default setting for double-sided printing in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat appears to be to flip on the long edge. For a folded booklet, this results in the centre pages printing upside down. I, personally, know how to change this setting - but our audience won't, and we've found that even within our own tightly controlled office network, the options for changing this setting are in different places for different people - so giving everyone who downloads it instructions on how to change the setting will be difficult. I'm tech profecient enough to confidently poke around in the various printer settings dialogs until I find it, but most of our audience won't be, and many people will get it wrong even with basic guidance telling them what to look for.
The "Flip on long edge" default appears to be based on the assumption that printed documents are to be held and read portrait, regardless of how they are printed. Is there any way to set a PDF to instruct Adobe Reader etc that this document is to be read landscape (or, folded), so that it can know to flip on the short edge by default for this particular document?
I'm not fussy about what software I use to create or edit the PDF. I'm using InDesign at the moment but will happily use Acrobat, or even hack the code of the PDF with a text editor, if that's what makes it work. I'm asking on the Adobe Reader board since it's not so much a question of how to set this, as whether there is anything in Adobe Reader that is actually capable of interpreting and acting on such information from a PDF.
Another type of answer that could solve my problem is, is there some universal way to set "Flip on short edge" where the steps the user follows are the same regardless of whether they are using Reader or Acrobat, PC or Mac, and regardless of specific printer drivers or printer software?

You should post here for Apple to get your feedback:
