Upgrading Nexus 5548

Hi,
We want to upgrade our pair of Nexus 5548 to the new NX-OS 5.1(3)N2(1a) from the 5.0(3)N1(1c) version. We would like to use the ISSU procedure. But when we execute the command "show spannig-tree issu-impact" we get the following output:
No Active Topology change Found!
Criteria 1 PASSED !!
No Ports with BA Enabled Found!
Criteria 2 PASSED!!
List of all the Non-Edge Ports
Port VLAN Role Sts Tree Type Instance
Ethernet2/8 1803 Desg FWD PVRST 1803
The 1803 vlan is only used for the peer-keepalive link and it only exists on these two Nexus. So one of the two Nexus needs to be the STP root. That makes the ports on that vlan to be in designated-forwarding state, which is not supported for the ISSU:
sh run int e2/8
!Command: show running-config interface Ethernet2/8
!Time: Fri Jun 8 17:04:33 2012
version 5.0(3)N1(1c)
interface Ethernet2/8
switchport access vlan 1803
speed 1000
That is the only port that belongs to that VLAN and it is directly connected to the other Nexus 5548. So the only way we see to avoid this port of being in designated-forwarding state is to apply the "no spanning-tree vlan 1803" command. Would it be a problem?
We can imagine that introducing the "spanning-tree port type edge" should not be a good idea, shouldn´t it?
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi,
Reviewing all the prerequisites for the ISSU, we have seen the following:
SSU and Layer 3
Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switches support Layer 3 functionality. However, the system cannot be upgraded with the ISSU process (non disruptive upgrade) when Layer 3 is enabled. It is required to unconfigure all Layer 3 features to be able to upgrade in a non disruptive way with an ISSU.
We have the interface-vlan feature enabled. But it is only used for two interfaces:
- interface-vlan 510 --> It is only used in order connect to the switch
- interface-vlan 1803 --> The one used for the keepalive
We could administratevely shutdown the interface-vlan 510. But we could not do so with the interface-vlan 1803, since it is used for the keepalive. If we execute "no feature interface-vlan", would the keepalive stop working?
When we execute "sh install all impact ..." command the Nexus does not tell anything about this feature. Is really recommended to disable it? Is it needed for the ISSU procedure?
Thank you very much in advance!!

NX-OS firmware Upgradation in Nexus 5548 with Enhanced vPC with Dual Active FEX

Hi All,
Please tell me how to do "NX-OS firmware Upgradation in Nexus 5548 with Enhanced vPC with Dual Active FEX" without downtime for FEX.
The Server are connected to FEX.
Attached the diagram.

Hi,
If the 5500s are layer-2 with vPC running between them than you can use ISSU to upgade.
here is doc to follow:
ISSU Support for vPC Topologies
An ISSU is completely supported when two switches are paired in a vPC configuration. In a vPC configuration, one switch functions as a primary switch and the other functions as a secondary switch .They both run the complete switching control plane, but coordinate forwarding decisions to have optimal forwarding to devices at the other end of the vPC. Additionally, the two devices appear as a single device that supports EtherChannel (static and 802.3ad) and provide simultaneously data forwarding services to that device.
While upgrading devices in a vPC topology,you should start with the switch that is the primary switch. The vPC secondary device should be upgraded after the ISSU process completes successfully on the primary device. The two vPC devices continue their control plane communication during the entire ISSU process (except when the ISSU process resets the CPU of the switch being upgraded).
This example shows how to determine the vPC operational role of the switch:

Nexus 5548 Upgrading NX-OS ?

If I want to upgrade our 5548's to the latest OS, do I also have to upgrade to the latest kickstart version as well ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Dave

Thanks for the reply. Got both switches upgraded last night, once I figured out to create a management VRF and FTP
from that vlan to the switch.

Urgent help: L3 daughter card for Nexus 5548

Hi
We have 2 Nexus 5548 which is in one vPC doamin. All the servers are teamed to these switches
Requirement
We have to install New L3 daughter card.(N55-D160L3-V2(=))
I have gone through the Cisco websites and found that we have to do the following things
1. software version:
i Nexus 5548P Daughter Card (N55-D160L3)
Before installing a Layer 3 daughter card (N55-D160L3) into a Cisco Nexus 5548P switch, you must upgrade to Cisco NX-OS Release 5.0(3)N1(1b) or NX-OS Release 5.0(3)N1(1c) and then install the card into the chassis.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/release/notes/Rel_5_0_3_N2_1/Nexus5000_Release_Notes_5_0_3_N2.html
2. license:
Also in order to enable this module following license should present on N5k device:
LAN_BASE_SERVICES_PKG - it's free and lifetime.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2121574
I have 2 questions
1- In cisco documentation its says that these cards will be installed in the front where I/O module is and after NX OS 5.X they are hot swappable
Does that mean that no reboot will be required after installing this module (keeping in mind its the first time) so i am confused about the wording ???
Does license installation requires reboot??? in short if you are installing for the first time do we require a reboot ???? that is my main question
2- I have heard there is a known bug which keep rebooting the switch after installation of L3 card
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtl45495
has that been address in any version of license or NS-OS yet???
Thanks heaps guys
If the module is still offline when the requirements are met above, it could be a bug.(CSCtl45495) Try reloading the switch.

Answer: As you are installing the license for the first time reboot of the box is not required.

Install pbr feature nexus 5548

I am in need of Policy Based Routing for a new project. At my core I have a couple of Nexus 5548s clustered together. I go into configure terminal and run the command "feature pbr" and the return is invalid. So I check the license with the command "show license usage" and I get the following output:
Feature Ins Lic Status Expiry Date Comments
Count
FCOE_NPV_PKG No - Unused -
FM_SERVER_PKG No - Unused -
ENTERPRISE_PKG Yes - Unused Never -

VMFEX_FEATURE_PKG No - Unused -
ENHANCED_LAYER2_PKG No - Unused -
LAN_BASE_SERVICES_PKG Yes - In use Never -
LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG Yes - Unused Never -
From here I see that the enterprise package is installed and is unused. How can I gain access to the enterprise features? I found a document here that says "Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switchto vdc command). " The switchto vdc command is also invalid. What am I missing?
Eric

I realise this is a very old post however I wanted to post here in case others are still looking for this feature. PBR is now supported in version 6.0(2)N2(1) on Nexus 5k.

Nexus 5548 Layer 3 daughter card insertion

Hello there,
I am planning to install Nexus 5548 Layer 3 daughter card. I found the hardware removal procedure on Cisco website but it doesn't say whether it's hot plugged or not. (Since I've to remove existing L2 module so I guess the box needs to be powered off but not sure). Has anybody had the experience in doing the upgrade to share?
Thanks in advance

I ended up getting the answer from TAC. First put in these two commands:
test ethpm l3 enable-show-iport
test port-channel l3 enable-show-ipc
Then you will get some new port channels showing up (127 and 128).
I'm not sure what 128 is for, but 127 is the internal port channel for the L3 card. Then you can view stats and poll with SNMP against the interface...
show interface port-channel 127

To be unable to discover a Nexus 5548 wirth DCNM 5.2(2e)

Hello,
I am unable to discover 2 Nexus 5548 with the SAN client of DCNM 5.2(2e)
These Nexus are used like LAN and SAN switch. Each Nexus is a SAN fabric. I would want to use DCNM in order to configurate the zone/zoneset via GUI. These Nexus 5548 run 5.1(3)N2(1b) release.
The Nexus ARE NOT managed via the Mgmt interface (OOB) but they are managed via an interface vlan (InB)
I could not configure rightly
- the snmp-server user (SNMP user V1/v2 or V3 + group ? ) CLI on Nx
- to configure the discovery in order that DCNM discover each fabric either from web GU interface or java SAN client
Please help !

I believe DCNM requires an ssh login to the Nexus and not SNMP.
DCNM uses Netconf over SSH protocol. See this earlier posting.

FCoE with Cisco Nexus 5548 switches and VMware ESXi 4.1

Can someone share with me what needs to be setup on the Cisco Nexus side to work with VMware in the following scenario?
Two servers with two cards dual port FCoE cards with two ports connected to two Nexus 5548 switches that are clusterd together. We want to team the ports together on the VMware side using IP Hash so what should be done on the cisco side for this to work?
Thanks...

Andres,
The Cisco Road Map for the 5010 and 5020 doesn't include extending the current total (12) FEX capabities. The 5548 and 5596 will support more (16) per 55xxk, and with the 7K will support upto 32 FEX's.
Documentation has been spotty on this subject, because the term 5k indicates that all 5000 series switches will support extended FEX's which is not the case only the 55xx will support more than 12 FEX. Maybe in the future the terminology for the 5k series should be term 5000 series and 5500 series Nexus, there are several differences and advancements between the two series.

I've upgraded the Discoverer from release 4 to 10.2.0.3

Hi guys,
I've upgraded the Discoverer from release 4 to 10.2.0.3 on two of my test systems.
the difference between the two test system is that one is SSL enable and the other one is not.
On the test system that is not SSL enabled users can access Discoverer via EBS fine but
on the tests system that has SSL enabled users cant so now they have to go directly to
the Discoverer link to access it. I've logged an SR with Oracle and they told me to edit the ssl.conf file
for the Discoverer side which I did and I placed the file directories and the locations of the certificates in that ssl.conf.
How can I get Discoverer to through EBS when SSL is enabled.
Thanks

Hi,
Firstly, you need to check that the ICX: Discoverer Launcher system profile has the correct https url to launch Discoverer.

Hi to All, My wife still has ios 6 on her ipad (she likes the look). I will do the 7.1 upgrade when it is released. Should there be any issues going from 6 directly to 7.1? Thanks!

Hi to All, My wife still has ios 6 on her ipad (she likes the look). I will do the 7.1 upgrade when it is released. Should there be any issues going from 6 directly to 7.1? Thanks!

There shouldn't be. I went from iOS5.whatever to iOS6.1 with no issues.
Just make sure to back everything up before you do it, just in case all doesn't go as planned.
I always do mine the old fashioned way, download the full OS via iTunes so if you've already got it linked to a computer and been using iTunes to do updates/syncing that's how I'd suggest you do it.

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 and Nexus 5548, SSH credentials fail

Hi,
I'm having problem getting the Prime Infrastructure 2.0 to login with SSH to a Nexus 5548 to do an inventory. I get "Wrong Telnet/SSH credentials". But when I use the same credentials from another SSH-client it works fine. I also tested to SSH from the console of the Prime-server and that also works fine.
Any ideas???
