Hi Lucien,
I have a configuration in place according to the attached file net_design_n5k.vsd. Today I tried to configure port-channel interfaces between the FEX (in this case FEX 100) and attached ESX hosts.
When defining a VPC to the port-channel interface first by using stmt “vpc 203”, I received the error-msg below when entering the command “channel-group 203 ….” to the physical interfaces.

The devices are running the latest NX-OS image according to the following screen-shots:
Any hints or tips are very much appreciated.

Allright. Regarding ESX channels: Maybe a better option is to setup VST-mode and loadbalancing based on the virtual port ID on the vSwitch. Then attach the vNIC's to different port-groups (you will have one port group per VLAN). With this setup you don't need to configure a channel on the ESX but you still have a active/active design due to the fact, that the port-groups are distributed to the uplink-NIC's on your ESX host (all vNIC's in port group 1 will be pinned to uplink NIC 1, all vNIC's in port group 2 to the uplink NIC 2, vNIC's in port group 3 to uplink NIC 1 etc. In case of a uplink failure the port group to uplink mapping will recalculate and the port groups uses the remaining uplink NIC's).

Uplink-ID 0 in Nexus 5500 with FEX 2248.
Hi all,
I've got 2 Nexus 5548 and a fex 2248 connected to both of them via a vPC. 1 Uplink port goes to N5K-01 e1/10 and a second Uplink port goes to N5K-02 to port e1/10.
On the log of the first Nexus 5500 I see this:
N5K-01 %FEX-5-FEX_PORT_STATUS_NOTI: Uplink-ID 0 of Fex 103 that is connected with Ethernet1/10 changed its status from Configured to Fabric Up
N5K-01 %FEX-5-FEX_PORT_STATUS_NOTI: Uplink-ID 1 of Fex 103 that is connected with Ethernet1/10 changed its status from Fabric Up to Connecting
N5K-01 1 %FEX-5-FEX_PORT_STATUS_NOTI: Uplink-ID 1 of Fex 103 that is connected with Ethernet1/10 changed its status from Connecting to Active
On the log of the second nexus 5500, I see this:
N5K-02 %FEX-5-FEX_PORT_STATUS_NOTI: Uplink-ID 0 of Fex 103 that is connected with Ethernet1/10 changed its status from Configured to Fabric Up
N5K-02 %FEX-5-FEX_PORT_STATUS_NOTI: Uplink-ID 2 of Fex 103 that is connected with Ethernet1/10 changed its status from Fabric Up to Connecting
N5K-02 %FEX-5-FEX_PORT_STATUS_NOTI: Uplink-ID 2 of Fex 103 that is connected with Ethernet1/10 changed its status from Connecting to Active
What is the difference between Uplink-ID 0, 1 and 2? If I only have 2 uplink ports, why is there a third one?

I used vlan configuration vlan before, but the interface VLAN is DOWN/DOWN.
and then i read this article:
http://www.layerzero.nl/blog/2012/10/nexus-5000-non-routable-vdc-mode/
Yes, thats solution work for 1 Vlan with "management" command on interface VLAN.
But, the other vlan is still DOWN. and Intervlan is not work to.
Anyone, can help me please?
I have experience configure Nexus 5000 with VPC, FEX, Storage, etc, and everything fine without isue in intervlan.
Thanks.Marvin,

Mix of Nexus 5500 & Catalyst 6500
Hi there,
Does Nexus 5500 series require a Nexus 7000 parent device? or it will be supported with Catalyst 6509?
If this is the scenario :
CAT6509 - Core Layer 3
CAT6509 - Distribution Layer 2/3
NX-5548 - Access Layer 2
And FYI, no VSS on Catalyst 6509.
Thanks in advance,
GerardHello Chad,
Cool thanks ... that is perfect. We're eventually moving towards NX at the Core and Distribs really soon. Yeah, that's what I've known with the Extenders requirement with parent 5k or 7k too ...

Nexus 5500 duplicate ICMP echo-replay
I am experiencing inconsistent echo-replay from devices connected via VPC to Nexus 5500s while pinging from the Nexus exec prompt.
In some cases I receive normal response when pinging from one Nexus, but no response when pinging from the other switch. In other instance I receive normal response to one Nexus, and duplicate replays to the other. It looks like a VPC related bug. NXOS is 5.1.3.N2.1

JarekHi
I found this in the configuration guide for the Nexus 7000 configuring VPCs
"When you enable this feature (peer-gateway), Cisco NX-OS automatically disables IP redirects on all interface VLANs mapped over a vPC VLAN to avoid generation of IP redirect messages for packets switched through the peer gateway router."
However this is not happening automatically on the 5K, so you need to manually add "no ip redirects" on each VPC vlan interface to prevent duplicate pings. -
Connecting the nexus 5500 with multiple vsans
Hi,
it's my first experience in the fibre channel world and i have a few doubts about the best way to connect the nexus 5500 to a EMC storage.
This is my scenario
this is my configuration:
vsan database
vsan 2
vsan 2 interface fc 1/1
vsan 3
vsan 3 interface fc 1/2
interface fc1/1
switchport mode f
no shut
interface fc1/2
switchport mode f
no shut
now I don't know how can I connect the port fc1/3 to the vnx storage, I think I can't make a trunk like ethernet, can anyone help me?
Or i only can do this with zoning
Thanks
FredHello Fred,
All interfaces must be in the same vsan for them to see each other
vsan database
vsan 2 interface fc1/1, fc1/2, fc1/3
exit
Then you can zone each separately
example:
zone name host1 vsan 2
member pwwn 11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11 (host1 pwwn)
member pwwn 33:33:33:33:33:33:33:33 (VNX)
zone name host2 vsan 2
member pwwn 22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22 (host2 pwwn)
member pwwn 33:33:33:33:33:33:33:33 (VNX)
zoneset name Zoneset1 vsan 2
mem host1
mem host2
zoneset activate name Zoneset1 vsan 2

DCNM SAN 6.2 + Nexus 5500 not using interface mgmt
When trying to discover a newly setup fabric we have set the SVI of one of the Nexus 5500 switches as seed device in DCNM SAN server. Problem do seem to be the same in DCNM 6.2 as in DCNM 5.x, one can not use a SVI.... After adding the seed switch with the IP adress of the SVI it appears in the Admin->Data sources->Fabric with the ip address of the mgmt interface. Thing is that this ip address can not be reached from the DCNM SAN server since we have only used a cross over ethernet cable for peer-keepalive over the mgmt interfaces.
Is there a way in DCNM SAN 6.2 to force SAN management over a SVI instead of the mgmt interface?Here is the solution:
in the menubar on the top, in the lower one go to Admin > Server Properties
scroll to the middle of the list, locate “fabric.managementIpOverwrite” and set it to false
restart the DCNM Servers -
Hi,
If I use a SFP-10G-SR transceiver in a Nexus 5500, can I have FCoE in this port?
Sorry for the question but i'm begining in the FCoE world
ThanksThanks Vinayak
I'm very excited to be working with Nexus switches. Currently we only going to use ethernet, but with the new servers will be able to use FCoE. -
Nexus 5500 to Nexus 5500 Fiber Etherchannel with different lengths
Hi,
I'm in the very first phase of designing a small datacenter infrastructure based on the Nexus 5500 series. I haven't got any hands-on nexus experience yet so please forgive me if I'm asking a silly question here...
What I would like to build is a 4 unit, redundant datacenter design. Two units in one DC, and two units in the other. I would like to connect both DCs together using a redundant darkfiber. One link is 10 miles, the other is 20 miles.
The Nexus switches are going to be connected "back-to-back" with and the redundant etherchannel between the DCs, like this http://www.netcraftsmen.net/component/content/article/69-data-center/859-configuring-back-to-back-vpcs-on-cisco-nexus-switches.html
Can I expect any problems with this design? In particular with the different lengths of fiber, like buffering issues or failing transmissions?
Thanks!That should not be an issue. You will need single mode fiber and single mode optics, and as long as all your optics support distance of 20 miles or more, then you should be fine.

Nexus 5548 fex interface configuration in vPC scenario
Hello Forum Team!
I have a pair of Nexus 5548UP configured as a vPC domain active-standby couple with six Nexus 2248TP Fex's in a dual-homed scenario (each fex is connected to each 5548UP). At the same time, both 5548UP are dual-homed to a pair of VSS Catalyst 6509.
I have a couple of questions regarding performance and configuration:
1. When configuring a fex interface, I've noticed that if the configuration is not the same or replicated on both 5548UP, the fex interface won't come up; is this normal behaviour? For now I am replicating manually the configuration on both 5548UP (not confyg-sync).
2. When performing ICMP tests from the 2248TP to the VSS, the response time is around 1ms to 2ms; from the 5548UP to the VSS pair is approximately 0.5ms. Is that normal delay response time from the 2248TP? I was expecting less response time from the 2248TP (the fex's have 20 Gigs of uplink bandwidth to the 5548UP pair and the 5548UP pair have 40 gig's of bandwidth to the VSS pair).
Thanks in advanced team!Hi,
1. When configuring a fex interface, I've noticed that if the configuration is not the same or replicated on both 5548UP, the fex interface won't come up; is this normal behaviour?
Yes, that is a normal behavior. Since yours FEXes are connected to BOTH 5ks, you have to configure both 5Ks in order for the FEX to come up. If you connect your FEX physically to only one 5k, then you only configurethat one 5k, but in your case you need to configure both 5ks exactly the same.
2. When performing ICMP tests from the 2248TP to the VSS, the response time is around 1ms to 2ms; from the 5548UP to the VSS pair is approximately 0.5ms. Is that normal delay response time from the 2248TP? I was expecting less response time from the 2248TP (the fex's have 20 Gigs of uplink bandwidth to the 5548UP pair and the 5548UP pair have 40 gig's of bandwidth to the VSS pair).
I have never tested this, but I would think since the 2k needs to to 5k for every packet including talking to another host on the same 2k, the delay would slightly be higher then when you ping directly from the 5k.

While configuring vcenter to N5K connection(svs connection just like in Nexus 1000v) we need to connect only thru vpc primary switch i.e. connect command under svs connection <name> only applied on vpc primary switch. What happens when VPC primary switch is reloaded and secondary becomes operational primary. I tested this but it seems that while primary switch is going thru reboot second switch does not automatically bring up vcenter connection. Also while primary is going thru reboot process the whole vpc domain breaks connection to vcenter.

Nexus 5500 - Fabricpath Core Port - Error disabled. Reason:DCX-No ACK in 100 PDUs
Has anyone seen Fabricpath Core Interfaces between two Nexus 5596UP switches error-disabled because of missing DCBX Acks after 50mins?
I do not see interface errors and the peer is another 5500.
Both switches are running 5.1(3)N2(1) with this port config:
int e1/3
switchport mode fabricpath

RobertCan you send the output of

show lldp dcbx interface ethernet 1/3
a workaround may be to disable lldp on both sides on these physical interfaces -
Layer 3 config design on Nexus 5500 with Fabric Path
I trying to Network deisgn for new data Center , i am new to DataCenter desgin, i attached the network diagram
i would like to know if can configure my layer3 on 5500 and configure Fabric path to uplink switch
please help give your suggestions on this designYou can configure layer-3 on the 5500 series, but you need to install a daughter cards in each 5500.
See this link:

Nexus 5500 VoIP cos 3 and FCoE
Hi
I have a requirment to do QoS for a DC that includes some VoIP as well FCoE with CNAs in the servers. I want to use COS 3 for the VoIP signalling and drop it in the same input and output quues to the servers as FCoE.
so we have
class-map type qos class-fcoe
class-map type queuing class-fcoe
match qos-group 1
which is the default for FCoE and I have 50% bandwidth assoicated with it.
policy-map type queuing
class type queuing class-fcoe
bandwidth percent 50
class type queing someother class etc
The issue is the "class-fcoe" is a default class and there doesnt seem to be anywhere I can edit it to add the VOIP control traffic to the same class or can I just add it here:
class-map type queuing match any class-fcoe
match qos-group 1
match cos 3
Thanks
PatHmm
From the UCS 8 SRND
For instance, voice signaling traffic with L3 DSCP value of CS3 is mapped to L2 CoS value of 3 by Nexus 1000V. All Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) traffic is marked with L2 CoS value of 3 by Cisco UCS. When voice signaling and FCoE traffic enter the Cisco UCS 6100 Fabric Interconnect Switch, both will carry a CoS value of 3. In this situation voice signaling traffic will share queues and scheduling with the Fibre Channel priority class and will be given lossless behavior. (Fibre Channel priority class for CoS 3 in the UCS 6100 Fabric Interconnect Switch does not imply that the class cannot be shared with other types of traffic.)
This seems ti pmply you can run Call SIgnalling COS 3 in the same queueu as FCOE COS 3. I kow its talking about a 6100 fabric switch but thats very similar to a 5500.
Could I not do something like:
class-map type qos match-all voice-signal-global
match-cos 3
policy-map type qos classify-global
class voice-signal-global
set qos-group 1
class class-fcoe
set qos-group 1
But then I cant see how to link this where we set the queuing bandwidth percentages as this uses the "class-fcoe"
policy-map type queuing global-fcoe-queuing-in
class type queuing class-fcoe
bandwidth percent 50
Could I create a class to replace "class-fcoe" and jsut match on qos-group 1 to define whats in it ?

Nexus 2K FEX dual-homed to two Nexus 5K Configuration
Hi.
I am trying to look for Nexus 5K config when the nexus2K FEX is dual-homed into it.
What will be the configuration on both 5K especiall the pinning?
Assuming one N2K 10G port is connected to N5K-1 and another N2K 10G port connected to N5K-2?
N5Ks are also configured as dual-sided vpc with two N7K.
