UCS to a Catalyst inconsistent network between blades

Hi,
I'm fairly new to UCS, so this may be (hopefully) a quick fix.
We have two chassis connected to a pair of 6296 FIs. The FIs break out of the network via 10Gb ethernet to a Catalyst 4500. Each blade works perfectly to anything outside of UCS, but they cannot communicate between each other.
At the moment there is only a single link to the network (this will be upped to 4 on monday), the port is set to an uplink.
I am guessing that comms between the blades go down to the Catalyst and should go back up the same link to the next chassis, but the catalyst is not doing this?
Any ideas or help would be much appriciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Are you saying that there is only ONE link from one FI (let´s say FI-A) to the 4500 and the other FI (FI-B) has no links to the upstream switch?
Servers cannot communicate to each other when you ping each other´s management IP/OS IP/VM´s IPs?
I think the issue might be that the Cat4500 does not support VN-Link (Now called VM-FEX or Adapter FEX), which basically allows the switch (VN-Link capable, e.i Nexus7K or Nexus5K) to understand that his phisical link is actually divided in 2 (or more) virtual interfaces, letting the switch send traffic back from the same physical interface it is receiving it on.   A regular switch, not VN-Link capable, would normally drop a packet that has the same destination as its source to avoid a loop.

  • How do i set a peer to peer network between my iMac and windows machines?

    I want to set up a peer to peer network between my iMac and Windows based computers in my house.  I also want it to a wireless set up.  Mostly being done to share videos, pictures, and music. Any insight would be appreciated.

    I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro to Wifi using internet sharing
    Why?
    Just connect the MacBook to the same internet as your iMac.
    MacBook > Wi-Fi router > Internet.
    You are connected to the internet with your iMac.
    iMac > Wi-Fi router > Internet
    Why do you want to go MacBook (via Wi-Fi)  > iMac > Wi-Fi router > Internet?

  • Im trying a home network between Mac and Win 7, but its very slow

    Hi guys,
    ive searched for this for the last couple of days, but i havent found my sollution yet.
    I have been trying to setup a network between my macbook and win7, and it works...i can move data.
    The problem is that it is VERY slow. (2MB/sec max in the monitor app, it takes 6 minutes to transfer 1GB)
    This is my setup:
    Macbook 2011 ML 10.8 (I use WiFi to the router)
    Zyxel P-2601HN-F1
    Dell PC (connected thru ethernet cable to the router)
    The ethernet adapter of the Dell is 192.168.1.37 and its a new cabel.
    So i type in CMD-K, then smb://192.168.1.37 and connect with user and pass
    I tried all the stuff i read here, like changing channels, but it stays really slow.
    The crazy part is when i do both in Wifi, its almost as fast as with cable...and i DO use different ips in the smb connection
    Maybe im going wired all over the studio and my house, but i would be awesome if this would work at least at 10/20MB/s, thats almost usb stick speed.
    please help,
    wendel

    So i bought the Airport Extreme and hooked up all my hd's on the usb port...
    the wireles upload speed from macbook to hd's is 5-6MB/s which is a lot better (40-48Mbit/s)
    in the end i think its a protocol & adapter settings issue, with Windows using smb2, and apple using some old protocol from the 90's in ML 10.8.x
    Also, there are a lot of (for me) complicated network adapter settings one has to know, before getting great transfer speeds between Win and OSX...so its easy to mess it up in Windows 7.
    I read that Mavericks switched to smb2 too...so let's wait for all my software to be mavericks compatible and see how fast that will be with my Airport Extreme!

  • Creating network between Mac and Linux

    Hello guys! I need to set up network between my iMac and Ubuntu linux. iMac is connected in internet by Airport and Fon Wifi Router witch is connected in router which is connected to adsl -modem. My pc is connected directly to router. Both computers have access to internet. Is there any easy solutions to share files with mac and linux? I don't need any webservers etc, I just want to share files.
    Other question related to this, why is my mac's ip address like 192.168... and linux ip addrress is 84.250...?
    Thanks allready!

    Though I'm not newbie with computers, I'm really confused becouse I haven't set up network like this never before.
    Not a problem, no worry... we all know something somebody else doesn't and vice versa.
    My linux says that my DHCP -IP is 193.210.18.18, is that related to this in any way?
    Yes, if the Mac had an IP of 193.210.18.x, (but not 18 for x), then connection would be simple, but I think we must have two devices passing out IPs. What is the Mac's IP again?
    http://www.helpdesk.umd.edu/topics/communication/ethernet/office/winxp/2882/
    Do you have any advice where I could start looking from the right IP of my linux?

    I'm not sure if its even configurable.

  • Network between Vista and Mac

    i'm trying to create a network between a Vista desktop and my Macbook Pro for files and printer sharing.
    after lots work with setting on Vista, I now can enter in MacbookPro folders from Vista. the problem is by Mac side: i can't find the printer connect on Vista (and shared), and the icon of PC don't appear on Finder, so i can't enter on Vista's folders. the problem with file sharing is strange, cause only one time, today, icon of PC was appeared on Finder (come back to Stop of Mac)..... i've traied with the same method another times, without success...
    I don't now what to do. I hope someone help me
    Message was edited by: -Slevin-

    I have limited knowledge but will try to help you as I have battled through this myself recently...You will lose nothing if you give it a try!
    In System Preferences open the Sharing folder. Check the boxes to enable 'File' & 'Printer' Sharing. In the same open window select 'Options'.. Here I have Share files and folders using AFB and (importantly) also Share files and folders using SMB. - 'on' should be checked and 'Account' should i believe be the name assigned to your Macbook. - select 'Done' and then also close the 'sharing' window in sys preferences to take you back to the desktop.
    In 'Finder' select the 'Go' option in the toolbar. Select connect to server from the drop down menu. You now need to enter the server address which will be the name of your Vista Pc - enter as follows: smb://(your vista name).. you may have to also enter the password for the Vista machine if it is configured in this way. ( It has been a while since I completed this so a little rusty here!)
    If you have entered the correct information when you hit 'Connect', your Macbook should find your Vista desktop that has previously not been appearing in your Macbook 'Sharing' section - this was the issue that I was originally experiencing. You should now see the Vista machine in the Sharing section of your Macbook.
    If this has been successful to here... This will enable access to try to solve the printer sharing problem? I think this one is beyond me as there are so many different configurations/installation options dependent upon the type of printer and network configurations.
    It is possible to configure your Macbook to automatically find your Vista machine at startup if it is not found as a matter of course, which I perceive to be the case here... Try this to automate connection at startup..
    Go to Sys Preferences and sect 'Accounts' you may have to enter your password to initiate changes. Making the assumption that you are connected now to your Vista machine and it is showing in the 'Shared' section of 'Finder'- select the 'Login Items' option and then select the '+' under where it states 'To hide an application when you log in etc etc.
    From the window that opens you will now select your Vista machine from the left hand folders menu. when done click 'Add' and close windows to return to your desktop. Re-start the Macbook to check whether the Vista machine will now load to the Mac automatically at startup.
    I hope this works for you as it has for me - The non discovery of the vista machine by the Mac was driving me round the bend

  • No 'network' between devices on wireless network (Internet is ok)

    Yesterday I bought a new router (Linksys WRT300N) which was a replacement from a dodgy Belkin-N router which kind of died. After setting up the wireless network, I get Internet OK on all my devices, but there is no networking between the devices (i.e. the Macbook Pro can't see the other map, or the apple TV). I'm sure there is a very simple explanation/setting, but I'm really struggling to find it!!
    I'm connected to the Internet via a cable modem (through Virgin Media - was Telewest) which feeds the router. (DHCP enabled)
    I've got the following devices set up on the wireless network:
    MacBook Pro, iBook, PS3, 360, a PC and an Apple TV.
    Because I can't see the other devices (e.g. mac's can't see each others sharing) I can't see the AppleTV to sync it anymore.
    I'm at a loss at what else to try (I'm pretty experienced at IT, although not the dark arts of networks).
    I have filesharing on, the 5353 UDP port open (iTunes works ok), firewall off on the router, all the IP addresses of the devices appear to be on the same Subnet. It all worked fine on the old router :-/
    Any ideas very much welcome... I've read a lot of the Apple guides and nothing seems to point out something I haven't tried. The appletv DID appear in the device list earlier, but I'm not sure why/how and it went again. The Apple TV is on the wireless network fine, connects to U-Tube etc.

    FIXED... there was an option, hidden away in the default advanced wireless settings that blocked communications between computers on the network... argh... defaulted to ON (Setting is called AP Isolation and allows communication with router but not each other...)
    Phew...

  • Wish to create network between PC and Mac

    Hi, I wish to make a network between my iMac G5 and my PC running XP Pro. As soon as I plugged in the pc into my router I instantly got internet on my pc. So how do I make a network to exchange files, and share printers, and dvd drives. One of the things I want to do is use Popcorn 2 to burn a DVD but since I don't have a burner on my mac I want it to burn on my Windows PC (with the mac software).

    Welcome to the discussions!
    "I want it to burn on my Windows PC (with the mac software)."
    You can't use the Mac's software to burn a DVD on your PC. You can create a disk image, then bring that over to your PC on the network and burn it on the PC, but that will require the software to be on the PC for that. I think that is what you meant anyway, but I wanted to make sure.
    Networking your Mac and PC is really not that hard to do. The Apple guides are not as clear as they could be, so start with Joel Shoemaker and Felix. They have some excellent step by step instructions and are very easy to follow.
    For printer sharing, you might also need third party, open source drivers. Depending on the connection - on the PC or the Mac - and the printer brand they can be found in any number of places.
    Give those pages a look and if you have anything specific that comes up, be sure to post back here and we can walk you through it.

  • What is easiest way to set up a remote network between countries online?

    What is easiest way to set up a remote network between countries online?
    My main Mac is in England, UK and I'm spending time in the USA with my Mac laptop for 3 months. I'm in the USA right now, but neighbour in the UK has keys to my apartment so he can go in there and follow my instructions.
    How can I access my Mac back in England via my Mac laptop in the USA as there are files on my UK computer that I need to transfer back/forth while I'm here in America.
    I know there are things like Log-me-In as in per link below, but I don't think you need things like this on the Mac do you, isn't there an easy way to set something like this up via the Mac's OS?
    https://secure.logmein.com/welcome/access/fasteasy/2/?wt.srch=1&originid=4373&ut pk=log%20me%20in&destination=/welcome/access/fasteasy/2/
    Any advice on the easiest way for me to get this set up finally would be great as I just can't figure out the most straight forward way of doing this.
    Thanks a ton all.

    Is there any chance of being able to set up and use something such as
    the Apple Remote Desktop in these computers? Sure, there is a matter
    of setting up the computer on the far end, including any update to the OS
    and having the Apple Remote Desktop client side ready and able.
    And then having (owning) the ARD software within the computer you have
    there while traveling so as to contact and control the remote computer.
    This should be capable of allowing you to move files between the Macs
    but may be cumbersome without planning ahead; before traveling away.

  • Network between mac os 10.6.1 and windows 7

    HI guys
    I asking about networking between mac os 10.6.1 and windows 7
    on windows 7, I opened file,printer sharing on (workgroup)homegroup.
    on mac os 10.6.1, finder->go->computer. It show Macintosh HD & Network, click on Network, there is nothing there.
    The only I can do is.... finder->go->connect to server (input smb://192.168.xxx.xxx and connect)
    After that, on finder->go->computer->network is showing up 192.168.xxx.xxx
    MY QUESTION IS HOW I CAN SEE WINDOWS (workgroup)HOMEGROUP ON MAC OS 10.6.1 BEFORE CONNECTED TO 192.168.XXX.XXX BY HAND?
    Thank you!

    I think you are asking, in effect, why you can't see your smb shares in "Shared" in the sidebar of a finder window? Often Sno does not make that connection automatically, and one must connect via smb://IpAddress (or computer network name). Once you do so, if you keep the connection active, then the Win7 machine is likely to be found under Shared eventually. The only way I have found to keep shares showning under Shared for an extended period is to keep all pertinent machines from sleeping over the period of expected access.

  • Windows network between 7 and 8?

    I have been trying for a couple of hours to set up a home network
    between a computer running 7 and one running 8. I looked online
    to see what came up when I searched=
    "Windows cannot set up a home network on this computer".
    I found several responses saying 7 can only talk to 7.
    Does anyone know if there is a way for 7 to talk to 8?

    Hello squareorbit,
    Do you mean that you want to use the Windows 7 and 8 to create and join a homegroup?
    Do you use Windows 7 or Windows 8 to create the homegroup?
    Based on my test, I can use the Windows 7 and Windows 8 in homegroup.
    As you get the message ‘Windows cannot set up a home network on this computer’,
    Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
    1. Download and run the fix it wizard
    2. Change your network location to Home network
    3. Check if you start the service Peer Networking Grouping
    and HomeGroup Provider
    For more information, please take a look at the following article.

  • Un-link list of preferred WiFi networks between devices

    I have one wifi network for internet access, and another one for TimeCapsule. TimeCapsule is for my MacBook. But I DON'T WANT MY iPad TO JOIN THE TimeCapsule network. The issue is: when I tell my iPad to "Forget this network", it also dissappears from my MacBook! Can anyone advice me how I can un-link the lists of preferred WiFi networks between different devices?
    Thanks!

    thanks for your reply, but this isn't exactly the issue.
    One network is simply hosted by TC, which provides a (hidden) wifi network for my MBP.
    Independent of that, there's a public wifi network in the room. My iPad should simply ignore the TC network, and connect to the public wifi. I never entered the TC network details on my iPad, but (I'm assuming) because of iCloud keychain sharing, it automatically picks up the TC network, and because this signal is stronger, connnects to it. when I tell the iPad to "forget this network", my MBP also fogets it, and if I set it back up on the MBP, ...
    I could just disable iCloud on my iPad, but that's annoying for other reasons.
    I'd be very grateful if you hab any suggestions!

  • How Can we force the Hyper-V Replica to use a dedicated network between two hyper-v hosts?

    Dear Team,
    How can we force Hyper-V Replica to use a dedicated network between two hyper-v hosts?
    For live migration, we can choose the desired network in Hyper-V Manager (Use these IP addresses for Live Migration).
    I have two 10G adapters teamed together, the virtual switch is created on top as converged network with several vNICs (MangementOS, LiveMigratrion, Backup, etc...)
    Each network is set with a specific VLAN to isolate the traffic.
    The two Hyper-V hosts are on the same LAN and domain.
    Thank you.
    Regards,

    I have accomplished this by using a DNS pointer specifying an IP address on that dedicated network. That will force traffic done that network.

  • Wireless network between mac + PC keeps failing to connect.

    Both of my computers my Macbook and my HP PC are connected on the same wireless internet connection with the same IP address the same server name and everything. I have been through both devices and enabled every sharing setting could find and think about.
    I need this wireless network to get printer sharing online. as the PC has the printer connected via USB to it. If anyone can assist please do.
    Thanks,
    Connor.

    Ok I got the PC to see my HP 940c wirelessly using Bonjour. However, I still can't get the Lexmark 2250 to show up on either the mac or pc wirelessly when connected to the hub? Is using a 4-port hub connected to the Airport express just not going to cut it for making a multiple printer hub?
    I'd really like to do this plus make an network between the two computers.

  • Beginner question: Can I create a hybrid home network between an ethernet-connected iMac and an airport connected Macbook Pro using a hybrid router?

    I recently acquired an friend's used iMac, I don't know anything about networks and all I can find is how to create a Wi-Fi home network but nothing about hybrid Ethernet/Wi-Fi networks.
    I have the iMac connected via Ethernet to the wireless router.
    I connect via Airport with my MacBook Pro
    I would appreciate if anyone has any pointers as to how I can start setting up a network between my ethernet-connected iMac and WiFi connected Macbook.
    Thanks!

    ethernet and airport/WiFi are just transmission media for the same network. If you can get internet on both computers, they are networked. Using the same router = same network.
    So now, what is it you want to do? Share files between them?
