Nexus 5k-2148 Integration to 6509VSS

Hi experts
am new to this Nexus family and planning to do new deployement as per attached setup.
After going through the Nexus docs i have prepared the configuration of Nexus 5000.(No box available yet and its awaited)
Request you to please validate the same and let me know the correction.
The VSS end configuration can be managable and i can configure the 2 links on each core as part of port channel and will configure layer2 MEC.SVC's for vlans will be configured in VSS which will act as default gateway for the end servers.
Thanks in advance.

  • Fex 1 Nexus 2148 to 2 Nexus 5010 problem?

    hi all
    I'm having trouble when fex(ing) 1 nexus 2000 to 2 nexus 5000.
    I've configured as dual home from 1 nexus 2k. But after success config, just 1 nexus 5k can see 48 port on it. other cannot see it and it showed as module offline
    Here's is results:

  • Dell Servers with Nexus 7000 + Nexus 2000 extenders

    << Original post by smunzani. Answered by Robert. Moving from Document section to Discussions>>
    Team,
    I would like to use some of the existing Dell Servers for new network design of Nexus 7000 + Nexus 2000 extenders. What are my options for FEC to the hosts? All references of M81KR I found on CCO are related to UCS product only.
    What's best option for following setup?
    N7K(Aggregation Layer) -- N2K(Extenders) -- Dell servers
    Need 10G to the servers due to dense population of the VMs. The customer is not up for dumping recently purchased dell boxes in favor of UCS. Customer VMware license is Enterprise Edition.
    Thanks in advance.

    To answer your question, the M81KR-VIC is a Mezz card for UCS blades only.  For Cisco rack there is a PCIe version which is called the P81.  These are both made for Cisco servers only due to the integration with server management and virtual interface functionality.

  • Nexus 4000i in blade center H to 5548UP - no Flogi login

    I have a fully integrated network in 2 separate data centers built solely on Nexus 5500UP switches that I just got finished designing and implementing.  It connects FCoE to all hosts, FCoE from server access 5596UP to a pair of 5596 that act as "SAN" swtiches where I have native FC SFP that connect to XIV storage.  In that environement all works great, multi-hop FCoE, NPIV, etc.  All zoning and SAN administration is done fully on the N5K 5500 platform.  (I even have MDS 9222i sole used for FCIP tunneling on the A and B fabric and that works like a champ too, DCNM sees both data centers as one large A and B fabric with the FCIP tunnels linking them)
    The issue is when I introduced a pair of blade centers with N4K switches and a pair of 5548UP switches as their upstream FCF.  The documentation isn't rocket science and yet I can't get a FLOGI login.  The N7K sees the server MAC in the FIP snooping, it also sees the 5548 as it's FCF.  But the 5548 vfc is stuck in "initializing".  QoS is there, NXOS is upgraded, etc...I'm stumped and annoyed at this point.  DCNM sees the 5548 as part of the fabric and it is a subordinated switch in the fcdomain and once I brought the switch up, all zoning, aliasing, etc was received on the switch...so I know the 5548 can see the fabric. Below are some configs (I cut out what isn't relevant)

    In the inital post where I put "
    The N7K sees the server MAC in the FIP snooping, it also sees the 5548  as it's FCF.  But the 5548 vfc is stuck in "initializing".
    I meant to put N4K...not N7K...sorry about that.

  • Ask the Expert: C-Series Integration with Cisco Unified Computing System Manager

    Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This conversation is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about Cisco C-Series Integration with Cisco Unified Computing System® Manager (Cisco UCS® Manager) with Cisco experts Vishal Mehta and Manuel Velasco.
    Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers are managed by the built-in standalone software, Cisco Integrated Management Controller (Cisco IMC). When a C-Series rack-mount server is integrated with Cisco UCS Manager, the IMC no longer manages the server. Instead you will manage the server using the Cisco UCS Manager GUI or Cisco UCS Manager command-line interface (CLI).
    Cisco UCS Manager 2.2 provides three connectivity modes for Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server management. The following are the connectivity modes:
    Dual-wire management (shared LAN On Motherboard [LOM]): Shared LOM ports on the rack server are used exclusively for carrying management traffic.A separate cable connected to one of the ports on the Payment Card Industry Express (PCIe) card carries the data traffic.
    SingleConnect (Sideband): Using Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI), the Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1225 (VIC1225) connects one cable that can carry both data and management traffic.
    Direct Connect Mode: Cisco UCS Manager Version 2.2 introduces an additional rack server management mode using direct connection to the Fabric Interconnect.
    Vishal Mehta is a customer support engineer for Cisco’s Data Center Server Virtualization Technical Assistance Center (TAC) team based in San Jose, California. He has been working in the TAC for the past 3 years with a primary focus on data center technologies such as Cisco Nexus® 5000, Cisco UCS, Cisco Nexus 1000V, and virtualization. He presented at Cisco Live in Orlando 2013 and will present at Cisco Live Milan 2014 (BRKCOM-3003, BRKDCT-3444, and LABDCT-2333). He holds a master’s degree from Rutgers University in electrical and computer engineering and has CCIE® certification (number 37139) in routing and switching and service provider.

    Hello Sebastian,
    The different modes of connecting C-Series with UCSM come into play depending on the type of infrastructure you already have along with C-Series and NIC model.
    Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers are managed by the built-in standalone software, Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) .
    Powerful features provided by Cisco UCS Manager can be leveraged to manage C-Series server by integrating  C-Series Rack-Mount Server with UCSM.
    This not only gives you rich-feature set but also one management plane to operate UCS-B Series Chassis and UCS-C Series Rack Server.
    You will manage the server using the Cisco UCS Manager GUI or Cisco UCS Manager CLI.
    Cisco UCS Manager 2.2 provides three connectivity modes for Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server management.
    The following are the connectivity modes:
    •  Dual-wire Management (Shared LOM):
    Shared LAN on Motherboard (LOM) ports on the rack server are used exclusively for carrying management traffic. A separate cable connected to one of the ports on the PCIe card carries the data traffic. Using two separate cables for managing data traffic and management traffic is also referred to as dual-wire management.
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c-series_integration/ucsm2-2/b_C-Series-Integration_UCSM2-2/b_C-Series-Integration_UCSM2-2_chapter_0100.html
    This mode is recommended when you have C-Server which does not  have or cannot support VIC 1225 card (such C-200 server)
    •  SingleConnect (Sideband):
    Using Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI), Cisco UCS VIC1225 Virtual Interface Card (VIC) connects one cable that can carry both data traffic and management traffic.
    This feature is referred to as SingleConnect.
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c-series_integration/ucsm2-2/b_C-Series-Integration_UCSM2-2/b_C-Series-Integration_UCSM2-2_chapter_011.html
    This most recommended Integration model when using FEX and VIC 1225 card
    •  Direct Connect Mode:
    Cisco UCS Manager release version 2.2 introduces an additional rack server management mode using direct connection to the Fabric Interconnect.
    This mode will eliminate the need for FEX module as Servers are directly plugged into the base ports of Fabric Interconnect
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c-series_integration/ucsm2-2/b_C-Series-Integration_UCSM2-2/b_C-Series-Integration_UCSM2-2_chapter_0110.html

  • Cisco Nexus to use Radius AAA authentication using Microsoft 2008 NPS

    I have a Nexus 7010 running
    Just wondering if you can help me with something. I'm having an issue with command authorization thru our aaa config. We don't have a problem authenticating its command authorization that is not working. From what I have seen and read Nexus NX-OS 6.x does not have any commands for aaa authorization unless you are configuring TACACS+. My basic config is below if you can help it would be much appreciated.
    >>ip radius source-interface mgmt 0
    >>radius-server key XXXXX
    >>radius-server host X.X.X.X key XXXXX authentication accounting
    >>radius-server host X.X.X.X key XXXXX authentication accounting aaa
    >>authentication login default group Radius_Group aaa authentication
    >>login console local aaa group server radius Radius_Group
    >>    server X.X.X.X
    >>    server X.X.X.X
    >>    source-interface mgmt0
    Also does anyone know how to configure Microsoft 2008 NPS as a Raduis server to work with Nexus? I have read a few post that suggest changing the
    shell:roles="vdc-admin" in the  Attribute Value field in the RADIUS server
    Does anyone know if this works????
    Thanks

    I have never done this before with ACS but not with NPS. However, you are in the right path. Nexus uses NX-OS which is different in some regards to regular IOS. One of those differences is the AAA setup. In NX-OS you assign users to roles. So for full access you will need to return the following attributes from your Radius server:
    Attribute: cisco-av-pair
    Requirement: Mandatory
    Value: shell:roles*"network-admin vdc-admin"
    For more information take a look at this link:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/secure-access-control-system/115925-nexus-integration-acs-00.html

  • Telephony Issues on Nexus 5548

    Dear Viewers,
    I have Nexus 5548 devices in one of my client data centers and i have one 3750 switch to which all of these Avaya voice servers connect.
    The 3750 switch was initially connected through a L2 Link to a 6509 catalyst switch and the telephony applications were working correctly.
    The problem arises when i move this 3750 layer 2 link to a Nexus 5548 (OS version 5.1(3)N1 switch. All telephony calls coming from the outside (External calls) are not working as required but the internal calls work as usual.
    What is odd is that when i migrate this L2 link back to the 6509 switch, all works as usual. This is just a layer 2 connection and i am wondering why this is not possible.
    The vlan is accepted on all relevant trunks. I also deactivated igmp snooping on this voice vlan on the Nexus 5548 thinking it would help but in vain.
    Any ideas and suggestions are welcome.
    regards.
    Alain

  • [Solved] Nexus 5 connectivity

    Right, I'm trying to connect my Nexus 5 to my laptop for USB tethering and media transfer. Now the procedure is not hard, I used to connect my xperia x10 and and my s3 just fine. I have searched and found many threads on here, on Ubuntu's forum, and xda but my problem seems to be at a lower level. The suggestions is always to install a bunch of packages (which I've done).
    Here is what I've installed :qtadb, libmtp, gmtp, android-sdk-platform-tools, android-udev. I'm running Arch 64 bit (KDE) and the problem is on both my T410 and PC.
    What is really worrying me is that it seems the phone is not detected in any form or shape. It just draws power from USB. Here is lsusb with the phone connected. (lsusb with the phone not connected is the same)

    Yours does not even try to connect.  There is no negotiation, no errors, nothing.
    Either you have a bad cable, or the phone is not in a mode where it behaves like a USB client.  Does that phone work with other computers?

  • Cisco Nexus 5K + Micrososft Radius for Admin Authentication

    Hi,
    I have cisco 3750 switches configured to use MS radius for administrator authention. however, now I would like to add our cisco nexus switches to MS radius as well so that administrators are authenticated against the Microsoft radius for admin authention.
    I tried it earlier but it won't accept 3750 commands.. Can you please help with me with a configuration example please that I can follow?

    aaa authentication login conlogin group radius local
    aaa authentication enable default group radius enable
    aaa authorization console

  • LMS User Tracking for NEXUS 5548UP

    Dear,
    A while ago I received a ticket from one of our customers because User Tracking was not working for NEXUS 5548UP on LMS 3.2. I opened a TAC case for this but this was normal since it is a Datacenter switch. Now the customer came back on this because they really want to see which server is connected to which switch port. I understood from the TAC engineer this is not on the roadmap to integrate in LMS 4.x. They want to know if there exists another product (they thought about DCNM) and wanted to know how this integrates or works together with LMS...
    Kind regards,
    Sven Laureyssens                    

    My latest understanding of User Tracking and Nexus 5K series is that it is not supported due to a limitation of the MIB support in the NX-OS.
    The current DCNM (release 5.2) is distinct from the LMS and Cisco Prime umbrella but that wil be changing a bit moving forwad as DCNM is enhanced and rolled into the Cisco Prime family. Last I heard there should be some information coming out of Cisco Live this week and a new release will have some additional functionality and better integration. Still, I doubt we'll see UT for the 5K due to the NX-OS limitation.
    One way to do what you're asking apart from use of any of the Cisco products is to enable LLDP on your Nexus and servers. That will at least give you the ability to pull the information from the NX-OS command line ("show lldp neighbor")

  • VSM and Cisco nexus 1000v

    Hi,
    We are planning to install Cisco Nexus 1000v in our environment. Before we want to install we want to explore little bit about Cisco Nexus 1000v
    •  I know there is 2 elements for Cisco 1k, VEM and VSM. Does VSM is required? Can we configure VEM individually?
    •   How does Nexus 1k integrated with vCenter. Can we do all Nexus 1000v configuration from vCenter without going to VEM or VSM?
    •   In term of alarming and reporting, does we need to get SNMP trap and get from individual VEM or can be use VSM to do that. OR can we   get    Cisco Nexus 1000v alarming and reporting form VMware vCenter.
    •  Apart from using Nexus 1010 can what’s the recommended hosting location for VSM, (same Host as VEM, different VM, and different physical server)
    Foyez Ahammed

    Hi Foyez,
    Here is a brief on the Nexus1000v and I'll answer some of your questions in that:
    The Nexus1000v is a Virtual Distributed Switch (software based) from Cisco which integrated with the vSphere environment to provide uniform networking across your vmware environment for the host as well as the VMs. There are two components to the N1K infrastructure 1) VSM 2) VEM.
    VSM - Virtual supervisor module is the one which controls the entire N1K setup and is from where the configuration is done for the VEM modules, interfaces, security, monitoring etc. VSM is the one which interacts with the VC.
    VEM - Virtual ethernet module are simply the module or virtual linecards which provide the connectivity option or virtual ports for the VMs and other virtaul interfaces. Each ESX host today can only have one VEM. These VEMs recieve their configuration / programing from the VSM.
    If you are aware of any other switching products from Cisco like the Cat 6k switches, the n1k behaves the same way but in a software / virtual environment. Where the VSM are equal of a SUPs and the VEM are similar to the line cards. The control and the packet VLANs in the n1k provide the same kind of AIPC and Inband connectivity as the 6k backplane would for the communication between the modules and the SUP (VSM in this case).
    *The n1k configuration is done only from the VSM and is visible in the VC.However the port-profiles created from the VSM are pushed from the VSM to the VC and have to be assigned to the virtual / physical ports from the VC.
    *You can run the VSM either on the Nexus1010 as a Virtual service blade (VSB) or as a normal VM on any of the ESX/ESXi server. The VSM and the VEM on the same server are fully supported.
    You can refer the following deployment guide for some more details: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps9441/ps9902/guide_c07-556626.html

  • Nexus Design Question

    Here's the scenario:
    We're working on a new DC design. Dual 6509VSS in core, dual Nexus 5k and 14 FEXs. The 2ks will be dual attached to the 5ks.
    Now, I read somewhere else that the 5k is limited to a maximum of 16 vPCs.
    So the question comes up... does that mean that the current design with a vPC to the core VSS, the peer vPC and all 14 vPCs to the FEX are topping us out?
    Also, all of the designs I've seen have only 2 5ks peering together. Can you have 3 or 4 5ks peer together?
    Thanks.

    I have to make the same design: VSS + 2x N5000. Currently i don't plan to connect the N5000 w. VPC upstream to C6500-VSS (i do plan VPC downstream). I plan to connect each N5000 individually to the VSS chassis with 2x 10G MEC. On the N5000, this is just a local portchannel. Since the connection between the N5000 is only used for VPC and is not considered as a real L2 link, there is no STP loop in this design.
    If the downsteam devices alternate their active/passive links between N5-1 and N5-2, both N5s will carry traffic.
    PS. i have more confidence in a simple portchannel. You don't want VPC problems (crash/early deployment problems) on the uplinks to VSS, basically isolating your datacenter or risking L2 loops.
    PPS. one remark i still have here is: on the N5K, you don't want to connect the uplinks towards VSS on adjacent ports using the same port-group. If the port-group ASIC fails, you will be blackholing traffic in the datacenter as the downstream interfaces will remain up. On C3750 switches, this is solved by Link State Tracking, however this is not supported on N5K, which i really regret. But Cisco says: we don't need Link State Tracking on N5K, as the N5K supports VPc to work around this....However, i feel this is not an excuse to not implement LinkStateTracking in N5K. VPc indeed is usefull if the upstream switches are L2 connected, however, if the upstreams are VSS switches a simple portchannel with link state tracking would suffice and have faster convergence....

    Geert

  • Nexus 2248TP port speed and duplexing

    Hello Forum Team!
       In order to configure the port speed and duplexing (change to 100Mbps/Full-duplex from auto mode) on a Nexus 2248TP interface, does the port needs to be down,.i.e, no link?
    Thanks in advanced for your support!

    Hello and thanks for reply;
          I was trying to configure port speed and duplexing on a 2148. This FEX model only works at 1000Mbps as I later found out on the documentation.
    Thanks again for your support.

  • Support IBM IVM (Integrated Virtualization Manager) and Njay NAS Storage in SCVMM 2012 R2

    Hello Frenz,
                     Can you someone help me to understand the below Queries,
    Will SCVMM 2012 R2 support following Management
                       01. IBM IVM (Integrated Virtualization Manager)
       02. Njay NAS device
               03. Cisco Router

    VMM has a "datacenter abstraction layer" approach, based on standard-based management. If your storage devices can be managed through SMI-S or SMP, then it is hope. However, the vendor of the device must have a supported provider for you do communicate with
    from VMM.
    The same goes for networking device, and Cisco Nexus v1000 can be added as an extension into the fabric.

  • Google Now Integration

    Please develop Google Now integration into the spotify app. I would like to be able to say "play (artist/song/playlist/radio) on spotify" I think it would be a great for working out or running becuase stopping to find an artist in the middle of a run is really annoying. Thank you for your consideration.

    Yes, I find it does work for me on a stock Nexus 5 with KitKat, although not very reliably.  If it's not working for you try entering a search by typing: e.g. type in 'play Heroes by David Bowie'.  Google Now should search online, find the track, and show you the track name with a picture of Bowie.  At that point there's a dropdown on the left-hand side where you can select Spotify if it's installed.  If you select that, and then click on the Spotify link that appears, the song should play in Spotify.
    Now the next time you do a voice search if the online search finds the song it should show the same screen, wait a bit and then use Spotify to try to play it because it's the new default.
    As I say it's not very reliable: Google Now doesn't always find the song and instead just shows web results, even with songs it's recognized at other times.  Even if it finds the song and hands it to Spotify then Spotify doesn't always play it, particularly if it's paused playing a previous song.  Google Now can also pass track details that Spotify doesn't understand: try getting it to play 'Get Lucky' by Daft Punk, for example, and it gets confused about Pharrell Williams.  
    Finally getting Android to play anything at all by voice, even with Google Play, isn't great.  This is because the voice recognition struggles with artist and song names, particularly when they're obscure or not regular words.  Good luck with getting it to even recognise 'Mercyside' by Tristania for example.
