New N7K-F248XP-25

Ciao,
in my previous post I understand that this linecard will be officially released on 18th ... and today I discovered something new in the DS published.
"This extremely comprehensive set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions makes this module ideal for data center networks, where density, performance, and continuous system operation are critical."
Performance
• 720-mpps Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding capacity for both IPv4 and IPv6 packets
The DS is here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps9441/ps9402/data_sheet_c78-685394.html
is this new linecard N7K-F248XP-25 a L2/L3 like the M series???
And, according to the Dynamic Configuration Tool it's stated:
"A separate VDC is needed when deploying the N7K-F248XP-25 modules in a chassis that also contains other families of modules (i.e. N7K-M1xxx and N7K-F1xxx).The VDC feature is enabled by the N7K-ADV1K9 license. A separate VDC is NOT required when the chassis contains only N7K-F248XP-25 modules."
And also NX-OS Version 6 required ...
Any ideas??
Ciao e grazie!

Hi Robert,
The F2 module is L2 and L3 capable. It is quite a step up from F1 as it has no L3 capabilites, plus adding FEX to the F2 is a great improvement. As far as F2 vs M1, the M1 still has larger L3 tables and can hold more routes in hardware as well as run OTV. So the two types of modules are for different locations in your data center. M1 is a great fit for your routing edge due to this.
Lucinao,
For fabric 2 on 7010 and 7018 you must have NX-OS 6.
As far as the new VDC requirement for F2. Since the Nexus 7000s modules all have their own forwarding engines they must all run in a compatible mode. Think of it like mixing a 6500 with sup2 and a module with a DFC3...you can't do it.
So instead of just saying your chassis can only contain F2 or F1/M1 we are able to seperate the "generations" up by VDCs within the same chassis.

Hi All
My clients want 2
N7K-F248XP-25
and 1 N7K-M148GS-11
So how many N7K-ADV1K9 license i must take?
1 for M1 and 2 for F2
or
1 for M1 and 1 for F2..
My chassis is;
N7K-C7010-BUN2-R

10Gig Copper SFP for Nexus F Series module (N7K-F248XP-25E)

Does Cisco have 10Gig Copper SFP which can be supported on Nexus platform in the F Series module (N7K-F248XP-25E)

Leo,
Thank you for the answer, you mentioned 10Gig Copper module in your reply (Part# N7K-F248XT-25E) but I already have Fiber Module (Part# N7K-F248XP-25E), I just need 2 10Gig copper ports for my storage and cant afford to buy a whole new Copper module. My question was if there is any 10Gig Copper SFP supported on F Series Fiber Module (Part# N7K-F248XP-25E), (not a twinax/DAC cable since my distance is longer and Twinax wont work)

How to do routing on N7K-F248XP-25E (Nexus 7010) ?

Hi all,
Please educate me the following scenario : I have Nexus 7010 with 2 L3 modules, N7K-M132XP-12L and N7K-M148GT-11L. Now to increase more ports for end devices, I add in the module N7K-F248XP-25E and believe it's for Layer 2 switching only. Is there a way to do routing on these L2 modules without having to go to the L3 modules ? Thanks for all help.

Is there a way to do routing on these L2 modules without having to go to the L3 modules ?
No. If you have an M1/M2 card and routing is enabled, the F2E card will "step down" and do Layer 2 work. All Layer 3 work will be done by the M1/M2 card.

N7K-F248XP-25E 32k Route limit

We have a nexus 7009 with N7K-F248XP-25E, the F2 is limited to 32k routes, how can this be bypass and use the 7k limit of 5.2mil routes? Does anyone know if it can.
Thanks.

No I dont see the way to increase it. Please find below details:

Nexus 7009 does not show the N7K-F248XP-25 modules ethernet ports n sh run

Hi everyone,
I have a question...
I going to install two Nexus 7009 with three N7K-F248XP-25 modules on each one, I am planning to create 3 VDC, but at the initial configuration the system does not show the Ethernet ports of these modules, even with the show inventory and show module I can see that the modules are recognized and its status is OK. There is something that I have to do before start to configure these modules...? enable some feature or license in order to see the ports with show running CLI...?

You can enable F1, F2, M1, M1XL and M2XL Series modules. There are no restrictions on the type of mix allowed for the system module-type command. The system module-type command allows a mix of F1, F2, M1, M1XL, and M2XL Series modules in the VDC.
Note The limit-resource module-type command controls the restrictions on the module-types that can be mixed in the VDC.
Note Use the system module-type f2 command to allow F2E Series modules into a VDC. The ports from F2 and F2E Series modules can be allocated like any other ports.
Note The modules that you do not enable must not be powered on after you configure this feature and enter yes. An error message will force you to manually disable these modules before proceeding. This prevents major disruption and service issues within a VDC.
The no form of this command resets the configuration mode to allow all modules.
hope this helps

Does the F2 linecard (N7k-F248XP-25) on Nexus 7010 support Layer 3?

Does the new N7K-MPLS1K9 it can be support the MPLS VPNL2?

I would like to know that the N7K with MPLS lincense it can do the Xconnect on L2 or not? I appreciate for your help.

Hi,
The first set of MPLS features are supported in NX-OS 5.2 release and it is expected to be released very soon ( probably in April, May time frame).
Hope this will help.

Change VDC type on n7k sup1

Hi.
I have a pair of Nexus 7010 with sup1 running 6.2(8)
There is default VDC only:
# sh vdc detail
Switchwide mode is m1 f1 m1xl f2 m2xl f2e f3
vdc id: 1
vdc name: nex7010-12
vdc state: active
vdc mac address: 40:55:39:23:1e:c1
vdc ha policy: RELOAD
vdc dual-sup ha policy: SWITCHOVER
vdc boot Order: 1
vdc create time: Tue Dec 20 11:23:37 2011
vdc reload count: 0
vdc uptime: 989 day(s), 22 hour(s), 10 minute(s), 34 second(s)
vdc restart count: 0
vdc type: Ethernet
vdc supported linecards: m1 f1 m1xl m2xl
I want to add N7K-F248XP-25E line card. So as I understand I should enter
(config)# vdc nex7010-11 id 1
(config-vdc)# limit-resource module-type m1 f1 m1xl m2xl f2e
And then insert line card. Is this right?
So my questions. Is this operation disruptive to traffic forwarding? Do I lost allocated interface and/or limit-resources after change VDC type and need to retype them again?

Hi insharie,
thanks for fast answer :)
My config:

"Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 6.2(2), F2e module type can exist with M1, M1XL, and M2XL module types in the same VDC."
And as I understand F2e will be working in Proxy Mode
"When you enter the limit-resource module-type command and it changes the F2e mode between the old VDC type and the new VDC type, you are prompted to enter the rebind interface command"
From the table "Table 7 VDC Types Impacted By F2e Proxy Mode" I do not see my case
Old VDC: M1,F1 --> New VDC: M1,F1,F2e
And can not figure out the impact.

Hi,
I have a question...
I going to install two Nexus 7009 with three N7K-F248XP-25 modules on each one, I am planning to create 3 VDC, but at the initial configuration the system does not show the ethernets ports of these modules, even with the show inventory and show module I can see tah the modules are recognized and its status is OK. There is something that I have to do before start to configure these modules...? enable some feature or license in order to see the ports with show running CLI...?

Nexus N7K Sup 1 replacement to SUP2E rollback plan and EPLD upgrad time.

Dear Expert,
My customer has N7K SUP1 with HA as below and I need to replace 2 with SUP2E 6.1.2 from SUP1(6.1.1).
As per Cisco document, it is required EPLD upgrade from SUP1 to SUP2E with Fabric-2 module, but there is no guide time for EPLD.

1. Can I have no downtime to do this activity ?
As per Cisco HW installation guide, It seems I should replace 2 SUP at same time, but if I can replace separately, please let me know.
2. How many minute is required for upgrade EPLD with above HW inventory ?
I assummed this time about 1hr ~ 90 min(max), is it correct ?
3. If this upgrade is failed, then I need to rollback from SUP2E(S2-6.1.2) to original SUP1(S1-6.1.1).
Is below step is correct for rollback ?
- Turn off the power to the switch
- For each Supervisor 2E module installed in the switch, remove the module and replace it with a Supervisor 1 module.
- Power on and verify all module is fine, sh version to check to rollback to S1-6.1.1.
- Run ‘install all epld bootflash:n7000-s1-epld.6.1.1a.img parallel’ after rebooting with original SUP1.
- Verify configuration and status
4. when I downgrade to n7000-s1-epld-6.1.1a, only linecard will be downgrade > or All SUP and FAN or Power module EPLD also downgrade ?
If so, how many minute will re required with previous HW inventory ?
I assummed this time about 40 ~ 60 min(max), is it correct ?
5. From S1-6.1.1a to S2-6.1.2a upgrade, will N2K FEX Software be upgrade as well ?
I need to update this downtime by tomorrow morning, so I seek your advice urgently.
Please share your experinece with me, thanks in advance.
Jason.

Hey Jason,
Regarding your queries:-
1. Can I have no downtime to do this activity ? As per Cisco HW installation guide, It seems I should replace 2 SUP at same time, but if I can replace separately, please let me know. - Replacing supervisors will have downtime as you need to move hardware physically in and out of chassis.
2. How many minute is required for upgrade EPLD with above HW inventory ? I assummed this time about 1hr ~ 90 min(max), is it correct ? - Once the supervisor is upgraded, you may upgrade all the modules parallely so considering the boot time of all these modules you are in safe limit.
3. If this upgrade is failed, then I need to rollback from SUP2E(S2-6.1.2) to original SUP1(S1-6.1.1). Is below step is correct for rollback ? - Indeed its correct.
4. when I downgrade to n7000-s1-epld-6.1.1a, only linecard will be downgrade > or All SUP and FAN or Power module EPLD also downgrade ? If so, how many minute will re required with previous HW inventory ? I assummed this time about 40 ~ 60 min(max), is it correct ? - Check this:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/6_x/epld/epld_rn_6-1.html#wp93995. Also everything will b downgraded so again calculate the booting time + downgrade, i think with this inventory 60 minutes is managable.
5. From S1-6.1.1a to S2-6.1.2a upgrade, will N2K FEX Software be upgrade as well ? - Yes, it will be upgraded.
I also suggest the following links for smooth upgrade:

Nexus 7010 Slot 3 problem

Hello everyone,
Here is my issue. We have a Nexus 7010 and for the third time now slot 3 will not allow a module to run in it. This is what we have done so far. RMA'd the module and the chassis. When the module is put into another slot it comes up without any issue. The only difference between this chassis and the other one we have is that we only have 2 of the 3 power supplies in it. The chassis itself has 2 sup mods and 3 48 port 10 gig mods. On a side note after we RMA'd the chassis slot 3 worked fine until we configured the new VDC and allocated the card to it. Any help will be appreciated.

Yes I am still have this issue. Here is the output you asked for.

Vlan XLT Mapping

Hello,
While checking the VPC consistency for layer 1 on a port-channel interface, the output shows that "Vlan xlt mapping" is enabled in the peer and not locally.
However my vPC is up and this mismatch is not being treated as an inconsistency.
Since we are going to migrate a service to this new C7010 pair, just want to confirm what this feature really means and is it going to affect when traffic goes live,

LMS + Nexus F2 linecards

I'm wondering if anyone else is using LMS 4.2 with the F2 series Nexus 7K linecards (N7K-F248XP-25).
I'm trying to but they show up as "Unsupported Card" in CiscoView (despite having the latest 7.1 version of the CiscoView Nexus 7K package).
At this point I'm not sure if it's a CiscoView- or VDC-related issue but I'm leaning towards the former.

You should be able to manage those cards in CiscoView once you update the CV package for the Nexus 7k to version 8.0. (Youll lneed the latest SwitchAddlets also.)
Per the package release notes:
WHAT IS NEW?
============
This 8.0 release of the Nexus7000 device package provides support for the following devices and modules:

Hi,
I have a question...
I going to install two Nexus 7009 with three N7K-F248XP-25 modules on each one, I am planning to create 3 VDC, but at the initial configuration the system does not show the ethernets ports of these modules, even with the show inventory and show module I can see tah the modules are recognized and its status is OK. There is something that I have to do before start to configure these modules...? enable some feature or license in order to see the ports with show running CLI...?
