Nexus 5548 and Define static route to forward traffic to Catalyst 4500

Dear Experts,
Need your technical assistance for the Static routing in between Nexus 5548 and Catalyst 4500.
Further I connected both Nexus 5548 with Catalyst 4500 as individual trunk ports because there is HSRP on Catalyst 4500. So I just took 1 port from each nexus 5548, make it trunk with the Core Switch (Also make trunk from each Switch each port). Change the speed on Nexus to 1000 because other side on Catalyst 4500 line card is 1G RJ45.
*Here is the Config on Nexus 5548 to make port a Trunk:*
N5548-A/ N5548-B
Interface Ethernet1/3
Switchport mode trunk
Speed 1000
Added the static route on both nexus for Core HSRP IP: *ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.10.150.39 (Virtual HSRP IP )*
But I could not able to ping from N5548 Console to core Switch IP of HSRP? Is there any further configuration to enable routing or ping?
Pleas suggest

Hello,
Please see attached config for both Nexus 5548. I dont have Catalyst 4500 but below is simple config what I applied:
Both Catalyst 4500
interface gig 3/48
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk encap dot1q
On Nexus 5548 Port 1/3 is trunk
Thanks,
Jehan

  • Fabric with two Nexus-5548 and a brocade switch does not get fabric updates

    We have a fabric containing two Nexus 5548 and a Brocade 5000 switch in interop mode 2. When i make changes to the zoning, the first nexus (the fabric principal) and the brocade switch see the zone changes. The second Nexus switch does not see it.

  • ACE and host static routes?

    Hi,
    Does an ACE context work with host static routes?
    I've been trying to set up a context to load balance LDAP where the servers have IP addresses across multiple VLANs and I'm not allowed to change the IP addresses. I've tried bridging and routing configurations. The only case that works is where the server is a member of the server-side VLAN. I noticed a comment in the Routing manual page 2-2 is says that secondary IP addresses are not supported. Is a host static route equivalent to a secondary address.
    Is it possible to achieve my goal.
    Thank you
    Cathy

    The problem is most probably asymetric routing.
    When the client connects to the vip, the ace module will forward the traffic to the server re-using the client ip address so that the server believes it is communicating directly with the client.
    The response from the server is sent to the client.
    Since there are routers inbetween, they route the traffic using the best path which is most probably not through the ACE module.
    So the client receives a resposne from the server which it drops because it is expecting a response from the vip.
    one easy solution is to perform client nat on the ACE blade.
    interface vlan 395
    nat-pool 1 128.243.253.188 128.243.253.188 netmask 255.255.255.248 pat
    Then configure
    policy-map multi-match L4POLICY
    class L4VIPCLASS
    nat dynamic 1 vlan 395
    If it works after that, you'll now you had an asymetric routing issue.
    You can then keep the client nat solution or investigate the asymetry.

  • Labview DLL and Defining Static Variables

    A Labview DLL that I am making currently consists of three parts:
    1) Initialization protocols for a data recorder
    2) Data retrieval from digital data recorder
    3) Uninitialization of the data recorder
    The DLL has one large sequence structure broken into three sections, and inside each segment there is a true/false case statement which allows the code to run or not.  Each case statement is run one-at-a-time by sending a "selection" value to the DLL which signifies which of the three case statements should execute.  There are hard coded wires running between each of the three in-line sequence structures enabling data to flow from left to right as the code in the DLL executes.
    What happens to the state of the data in the hard coded wires when the DLL runs some code in one of the case statements and hands control back to VB?  In other words, in VB I can define variables which are static or self-destruct upon leaving a subroutine.  How is this controlled in Labview?
    Also, in the "false" case statements, what is the effect of selecting "use default if unwired"?  I would like to explicitely define this connection properly but am not sure how to proceed.  I would the data held in this wire to be the same data that passed during the function call when the case was "true".
    Thanks.

    After our disussion above, I was "thinking outside the box" and decided to try a much simpler approach to creating a Labview DLL, which is called by VB.  Being primarily a text based programmer, I wanted to create a Labview DLL project that kept all the function calls in one VI and not have them spread across several VI's, as is the normal practice in Labview coding.  As in text based programming, where multiple function calls can be placed in one module and are easy to read and understand because of their close proximity in the editing compiler, I wanted the same thing from Labview.  This has been accomplished.
    To do this I created the code shown in Simple-DLL.JPG.  All the code is in one VI and all parameters that are meant to stay static during calls to the DLL are maintained by local variables.  I'm sure shift registers could be made to work here, but code in this routine is only called once every five or ten seconds.  There are only three parameters that are passed during each call to the center routine to get data back from a digital data recorder.  Those parameters are 1) lSelector, 2) lArraySize, and 3) dArray[].  As mentioned earlier, the other parameters are held static by use of the local variables.
    I like the simplicity of this approach, and maintenance of code is extremely easy.  Much easier that flipping between multiple function call VI's and the VI holding the global variables.  Reading and understanding the code is also easy to do in this approach.
    Obviously, if one has a project where multiple functions are called with many variables being passed back and forth, then my example may have limitations.  But I wanted to document the above approach for text based programmers to reap the benefits of something easy to understand and implement, especially when their programming experience with Labview is limited, and their Labview project is relatively small.  Your comments are welcome!!

  • Nexus 5548 and vfc Interfaces - WHY?

    What is a vfc and why do we need to configure it? I find this extremely tedious.
    I  have a Dell blade CNA connected to a Dell M8024-k FCoE transit module,  which is then connected to a Cisco Nexus 5K. The Cisco 5K's FC port is  in NPIV mode and is connected to a Brocade 300 switch. An FC target is  connected to the B300.
    So, in configuring this set up, I see that, in the Cisco 5K, one has to map the CNA's Ethernet MAC-address to a vfc!
    Why  do I have to do this mapping? You dont have to do this with Brocade.  For example, in another lab setup, I have a Dell M8428-k FCF (FCoE)  switch, which is a Brocade ODM, and there is no such mapping necessary.  You bring up a CNA at will, the CNA executees a FIP FLOGI, gets an FPMA  from the FC fabric switch, and a construct is seamlessly built  between that CNA (or perhaps more correctly stated, the N-Port component  of that CNA) and a LUN. NO MANUAL MAPPING is necessary.
    Can  someone explain this Cisco vfc construct and why one has to engage in  this laborious task of mapping every CNA to a vfc? Just trying to  understand....perhaps I am missing something.
    Thank you

  • Static Routing vs. Access Point

    I need helping in setting up my media center. I have the Dlink 520 in wireless mode. I have the linksys WRT300N. And I'd like to set up a static route to my wired network's resources. This device is hardcoded with 192.168.1.X and I need a static route to the 192.168.0.X network. Is there a way to do so, so that my media server will be seen by the server on that network.  Please help..  I've looked at port forwarding and DMZ and they all have a hardcoded 192.168.1.X.  Should I just set this device up as a access point,  even though I have other wireless devices that benefit from DHCP.   Please advise. 
    Thank you
    Mr V.

    If you connect the WRT in gateway mode through its internet port to the dlink, you don't have to define any static route on the WRT. The LAN behind the WRT is inaccessible then unless you define port forwardings on the WRT.
    If you connect the WRT in router mode through its internet port to the netgear you also don't have to define a static route on the WRT. You must define a static route for the WRT subnet on the dlink. The WRT will just work correctly as it is. You may also have to define a static route on the dlink to forward packets for the WRT subnet to the WRT instead of the netgear.
    If you setup the WRT as I have suggested you don't need static routes on the WRT either because the internet port is not used and thus there is no routing on the WRT.
    So, whatever you want to do I cannot see any reason in your setup why you think you would have to set a static route on the WRT. You only need routing if the packets have to go one more hop. But the WRT has only two sides and those two sides are your complete LAN. There is nothing else there...
    You cannot define a static route for the traffic from inside the WRT LAN to the outside simply because this is implicitly defined with the configuration of the internet and LAN interfaces.
    I don't have another suggestion. I think I have listed the major reason why it is beneficial to set up the WRT as access point, mostly because you'll only have a single LAN subnet instead of two. Two subnets complicate many things. One of those things is file sharing across the router which may be related to your problems.
    I suggest you try to set it up as I have suggested and we see how it goes...

  • Multiple instances of EIGRP or static routes

    I'm building a network which needs to have All but one of it's private networks pass through a DMVPN, all the routes are advertised through EIGRP, that part works great!
    I have a private VLAN that only has access onto the internet, the address is Nat'ed over to a public IP address. Each router, there's six of them, are neighbors to two other routers. The furthest router to the internet has to go through three routers to get to the internet. My current idea is to use static routes on all the routers to the Internet gateway router. Then let recursive routing sort out each hop. What I would rather do is have EIGRP do all that. I really don't want to mess with the EIGRP that's running for the DMVPN tunnels, I'd like to have another instance of EIGRP run on the routers that will route the users to the Internet.
    Does anyone have any thoughts concerning this design.
    Thanks.
    Mitch

    Mitch
    I am not clear about what you are attempting to achieve and not very clear about the topology. So my answer may or may not be on target. If it is not perhaps you can help us understand a little better what is involved.
    I believe that what you are saying is that you have an existing network with multiple locations connected over DMVPN and that you run EIGRP as the routing protocol for that network. I believe you are also saying that there is one network segment which needs access to the Internet but should not be able to access the other parts of your network.
    You say that the address of this other segment is NATed but are not clear whether the translation is ont the router where the segment is located or is on the Internet gateway router.
    Probably the traditional solution for this would be to provide a default route for this segment pointing toward the Internet gateway router, to have a route on the Internet gateway router (and other routers along the path toward where the network is located), and a series of access lists on each router along the way which allows passage to the Internet and denies access to local resources.
    I would propose a somewhat different solution. I believe that it would work if you configure a GRE tunnel between the router where the segment is located and the Internet Gateway router. On the router where the segment is located you could do Policy Based Routing to send traffic from the private segment to the Internet over the GRE tunnel (which effectively isolates it from your other resources). You might want Policy Based Routing on the Internet gateway router to be sure that traffic from the private segment was forwarded only to the Internet (though you might not need that). The Internet gateway router could have a route (probably a static route) which sends traffic to the private segment over the GRE tunnel.
    Let us know what you think of this. And if it is off the mark perhaps you could clarify a bit.

  • Servers connected to Nexus 5548 only getting 200 Mbps of throughput

    Servers connected to NExus 5k were only getting 100 Mbps of throughput. So I disabled Flow control recieve on all the ports. After this we are getting 200 Mbps of speed. The servers are connected throuh 10 gig port. Could you guys please suggest why the throguhput is still low? Atleast we should get 1Gbps of thrpoughput.

    Hi Adam,
    I think we probably need a little more information to go on. Can you answer the following?
    What type of servers and NICs?
    What OS are you running on the servers?
    What cables do you have from the servers to the switch?
    Are the two servers in the same subnet or is the traffic between them routed?
    If routed, is that in the Nexus 5548 or some other router?
    How are you testing throughput?
    Presumably you're not seeing any errors on the switch ports that the servers are connected to?

  • Configuring FET-10G-SR for NEXUS 5548/2248

    Hey everyone-
    I am a little newer with configuring switches and routers, and I have been asked to troubleshoot a FET-10G-SR in our NEXUS 5548 and NEXUS 2248.  I am aware that the ports need to be configured to except FET parts, and I have tried using the "switchport mode fex-fabric" command to configure the ports, but the command will not work for some reason. Can anyone help me with configurations step by step to have these parts work properly? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
    Chris Hazell

    It should normally work unless the port is not the proper type of has a configuraiton applied that's incompatible.
    Can you provide the output for "show run int eth ___" and "show int eth___" (substituting your interface number for the "___") for the interface in question?
    Also, if it's the first fex you are adding, you must have enabled "feature fex" globally.

  • Vlan on Nexus 5548

  • Is it possible in IOS to have two static routes for the same subnet, one a higher priority and "failover" between the 2?

    Hi All
    Is it possible in IOS to have for a particular subnet:
    a) Two static routes?
    b) Make one static route a higher priority than the other?
    c) If one static router "goes down", failover to the lower priority static route?
    We have a l2tp/vpdn connection to a supplier which can be accessed via two vlans/routes. I would like to make one route the preferred one but the "route" to failover if the preferred route goes down.
    Again, many thanks in advance for all responses!
    Thanks
    John

    Hi John,
    Hope the below explaination will help you...
    R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 2.2.2.2
    R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 3.3.3.3 10
    If you notice the Administrative Distance for the secondary route pointing to ISP2 is increased to 10 so that it becomes the backup link.
    The above configuration with just two floating static routes partially accomplishes our requirement as it will work only in the scenario where the routers interfaces connected to the WAN link are in up/down or down/down status. But in a lot of situations we see that even though the links remain up but we are not able to reach the gateway, this usually happens when the issue is at the ISP side.
    In such scenarios, IP SLAs becomes an engineer's best friend. With around six additional IOS commands we can have a more reliable automatic failover environment.
    Using IP SLA the Cisco IOS gets the ability to use Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) pings to identify when a WAN link goes down at the remote end and hence allows the initiation of a backup connection from an alternative port. The Reliable Static Routing Backup using Object Tracking feature can ensure reliable backup in the case of several catastrophic events, such as Internet circuit failure or peer device failure.
    IP SLA is configured to ping a target, such as a publicly routable IP address or a target inside the corporate network or your next-hop IP on the ISP's router. The pings are routed from the primary interface only. Following a sample configuration of IP SLA to generate icmp ping targeted at the ISP1s next-hop IP.
    R1(config)# ip sla 1
    R1(config)# icmp-echo 2.2.2.2 source-interface FastEthernet0/0
    R1(config)# timeout 1000
    R1(config)# threshold 2
    R1(config)# frequency 3
    R1(config)# ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now
    The above configuration defines and starts an IP SLA probe.
    The ICMP Echo probe sends an ICMP Echo packet to next-hop IP 2.2.2.2 every 3 seconds, as defined by the “frequency” parameter.
    Timeout sets the amount of time (in milliseconds) for which the Cisco IOS IP SLAs operation waits for a response from its request packet.
    Threshold sets the rising threshold that generates a reaction event and stores history information for the Cisco IOS IP SLAs operation.
    After defining the IP SLA operation our next step is to define an object that tracks the SLA probe. This can be accomplished by using the IOS Track Object as shown below:
    R1(config)# track 1 ip sla 1 reachability
    The above command will track the state of the IP SLA operation. If there are no ping responses from the next-hop IP the track will go down and it will come up when the ip sla operation starts receiving ping response.
    To verify the track status use the use the “show track” command as shown below:
    R1# show track
    Track 1
    IP SLA 1 reachability
    Reachability is Down
    1 change, last change 00:03:19
    Latest operation return code: Unknown
    The above output shows that the track status is down. Every IP SLAs operation maintains an operation return-code value. This return code is interpreted by the tracking process. The return code may return OK, OverThreshold, and several other return codes.
    Different operations may have different return-code values, so only values common to all operation types are used. The below table shows the track states as per the IP SLA return code.
    Tracking
    Return Code
    Track State
    Reachability
    OK or over threshold
    (all other return codes)
    Up
    Down
    The Last step in the IP SLA Reliable Static Route configuration is to add the “track” statement to the default routes pointing to the ISP routers as shown below:
    R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 2.2.2.2 track 1
    R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 3.3.3.3 10
    The track number keyword and argument combination specifies that the static route will be installed only if the state of the configured track object is up. Hence if the track status is down the secondary route will be used to forward all the traffic.
    Please rate the helpfull posts.

  • Define static IP for both LAN and W-LAN devices with an Airport Extreme Base Station

    Hey guys,
    I have a lot of different devices connected to my Airport Extreme Base Station (5th Gen) either wirelessly or via ethernet cable. Since I control some of them via VNC and currently have to find the corresponding IP-addresses through trial-and-error, I'd like to define static IP-addresses for the computers in question. My network consists of a cable modem connected to a TP-Link WR1043ND router in the basement, from which an ethernet cable leads to the WAN-port of the aforementioned Airport Extreme Base Station on the 2nd floor. Two of the devices I want to remote-access are  wired to a D-Link DES-1005D switch, which in turn is connected to the 1st ethernet port of the Airport Base Station. The remaining 3 remote clients are connected over 802.11n. All computers run Windows.
    My problem now is that even though I was able to define static IP-addresses employing the "DHCP only" router mode, this didn't seem to work for the two computers connected via ethernet. Not only did I lose any internet connectivity with those, I even lost the ability to remote-connect to them using the VNC-viewer.
    The question now is: how do I specify static IP-addresses for my ethernet devices correctly?
    I hope you can help me.

    My network consists of a cable modem connected to a TP-Link WR1043ND router in the basement, from which an ethernet cable leads to the WAN-port of the aforementioned Airport Extreme Base Station on the 2nd floor.
    If you read the information in the other post, my answer would be the same here.
    The Router Mode of DHCP Only is rarely used, and would only really be appropriate if your ISP was providing you with a fixed bank of multiple fixed or static IP addresses to use. This does not appear to be the case in your post.
    If this were the case, the first IP address would be used as a Static IP address for your connection, and other devices on your network would receive the other fixed IP addresses.
    99%+ of the time, you would use the Router Mode setting of DHCP and NAT on a network when you want the AirPort to perform as the main router for the network.
    But......your post also indicates that you have another router upstream on your network from the AirPort Extreme.  You would not want to run two routers in series on a network. That explains the problems that you are having.
    The AirPort Extreme needs to be configured in Bridge Mode. It cannot be the "main" router on your network when you already have another router on the network. That is a fundamental networking rule.

  • C220 M4 w/ VIC1225 and Nexus 5548

    I have four UCS C220 M4 servers that each have a VIC 1225 and are connected up to a Nexus 5548.  I have set them to trunk ports and have set the appropriate VLANs in ESX and the portgroups.  I can ping the gateway and other hosts on the network, but for some reason I can't ping any of the other C220 M4 servers that have a VIC1225.  All of the C220's can ping other devices on the network, but not each other.  Is there some setting I need to modify on the VIC or switch?  Currently the VIC is running as Classical Ethernet mode.

    There is no special configuration to make connectivity work in the rack servers, I assume these servers are in standalone mode and not integrated with UCSM.
    What L3 device is doing your Inter-Vlan routing? Is it the N5K these servers are connected to or there is another device doing this job?   If it is the N5K, are all the servers in the same network segment? I mean, is there a single SVI or multiple?  can your Nexus 5K ping each of the servers?

  • FCoE using Brocade cards CNA1020 and Cisco Nexus 5548 switches

    All,
    I have the following configuration and problem that I am not sure how to fix:
    I  have three Dell R910 servers with 1TB of memory and each has two  brocade 1020 CNA cards dual port.  I am using distributed switches for  the VM network and a second distributed switch for VMotion.  I have two  of the 10G ports configured in each distributed switch using IP Hash.   The management network is configured using a standard switch with two 1G  ports.
    The  Nexus configuration is we have two nexus 5548 switch connected together  with a trunk.  We have two VPC's configured to each ESX hosts  consisting of two 10gig ports in each VPC with one port going to each  switch.  The VPC is configured for static LAG.
    What  I am seeing is that after a few hours the virtual machines will not be  accessible via network anymore.  So if you ping the VM it will not work  and if you get on the console of the VM then ping the gateway then  nothing as well but if you try to ping another virtual machine on the  same host on the same VLAN then it will work so traffic is going through  the ESX backplane.  If I reboot the ESX host then things will work  again for another few hours or so then the problem repeats.
    The version of vSphere I am using is ESXi4.1
    Please assist I am stuck.
    Thanks...

    Here is the link for Nexus and Brocade interoperability Matrix
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/interoperability/matrix/Matrix7.html#wp313498
    usually this table would show those models those have been tested and verified
    However I do not see  Brocade 5300 listed in the table . It could be, interoperability may have not been tested by both vendors perticularly to 5300 type Model.
