Which port to use for the peer-keep alive

Hi All,
We have 2 Nexus 6001s in our data center.
The management port of each 6001 is connected to the other and this link is used as the peer keep alive link.
My colleague is suggesting that we use one of the inline data ports as the keep alive link.
Can you please advise on the pros and cons of using management/inline port as keep live link and the best practise to follow in this case?
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Pete,
Here are the best recommendation in order of preference.
1. Use mgmt0 (along with management traffic)
     * Pros: whats good on this option is you are totally separating the VPC Peer keepalive link on another VRF (management) and does not mingle with the data or global vrf..
     * Cons: VPC PKL is dependent on the OOB management switch.
2. Use dedicated 1G/10GE front panel ports. 
    * Pros - can just be a direct link between the N6K pair and not dependent on other boxes. 
    * Cons - you need extra SFPs for VPC PKL while the VPC PKL traffic join the global VRF.

  • Which ports oracle use for replication..

    Hi All,
    I want to know which ports orcale use for replication.plz reply me quickly.
    Thanx in advance

    This is configurable. By default, listeners will run on port 1521, but sites can specify multiple and/or different ports. Depending on the OS of the database, connections made on that initial port may be redirected to a different port (Windows) or may do all the communication on the listener port (Unix). Windows databases can be configured to do all communication on the listener port, though there may be a performance impact to doing so.

  • I do not know which email i used for the my old apple ID.

    I do not know which email i used for the my old apple ID. All I know is that it goes C*****@gmail.com. Is there any way for me to figure out my username or email used for the apple id without having the username or email logged in?

    You need to try each one you think it might be, or try using Apple’s iForgot service, or if you’re the device’s original owner, take it and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.

  • I forgot the answers to my security questions, and I forgot which email I used for the rescue e-mail since I made it a few years ago. how do I fix it??

    I was on my IPod and I was trying to buy this app, since I have money on my account and it said I needed to verify I was who I was and so I clicked "OK". It turns out I forgot the answers to my questions from when I made an account a few years ago, and when I made it, it never asked to give a rescue e-mail and so I am stuck and cannot use my account. So I was wondering if anyone has any answers to my question, or at least if there is a way I can transfer the money into a different account without the codes. Because I got the money for my birthday and such and I actually want to buy these apps, I feel so **** sreckless for loseing the paper I had it written on.

    Go to https://expresslane.apple.com . Click 'More Products & Services'. Then click 'Apple ID'.
    In the next page click 'Other Apple ID topics' then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'. Click 'Continue'. Choose an appropriate option in the next page.

  • How do you configure the set of port to use for FTP passive data connection

    I was able to start the ftp server xml db and connect to it locally. When I tried to connect to it from home, I was able to log in but when i do a "get" command the sessions hangs. I also tried passive mode and do a "get" command and it gives me a connection refused error. I am using the default port 2100. I think this might be a firewall issue with the data connection port. I am not sure which range of ports to open for the passive ftp connection on the server side or where to go and set them for for the ftp server to use? Or this issue might not be firewall related??? Any thoughts. Thanks.

    This is a typical problem with VPN/Firewall software and FTP on ports other than 21.
    When you open the FTP data connection the FTP Server identifies which port the data will be sent on using the PORT command which is sent on the command port (typically 21 with a normal FTP server, 2100 by default with XDB). THe client then opens that PORT to accept the data (file, output of an ls etc).
    As I understand it most VPN/Firewall are configured to monitor 21 for 'PORT' requests. They then understand to allow connection on the PORT number passed on the command PORT. Hence with Port 21 firewall / VPN software is not a problem. However since the XDB command PORT is something other than 21 they do not see / honour the PORT commands from the server and hence the client cannot open the data connection on the specified PORT
    As to how to solve it, I wish I knew (After 5 years I still can't use XDB FTP from home to a machine in the office once the VPN tunnel is open :( ). I'm sure it's going to be firewall / VPN software specific and may need the VPN servers to be configured.
    The best bet would be to run the FTP server on 21...
    Add the following line to your listener.ora file
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = hostname) (PORT = 21))
    (PROTOCOL_STACK = (PRESENTATION = FTP) (SESSION = RAW)))
    and then restart the listener as root
    Start the listener as root.
    At the operating system prompt, enter tnslsnr with optional command line arguments. The usage is as follows:
    tnslsnr [listener_name] [-user user] [-group group]
    where:
    Table 4-3 tnslsnr Utility Options
    Option Description
    listener_name
    Specify the name of the listener. If omitted, the default name LISTENER will be used.
    -user user
    Specify the user whose privileges the listener will use when super user (root) privileges are not needed. After performing the privileged operations, the listener will give up root privileges irreversibly.
    -group group
    Specify the group whose privileges the listener will use when super user (root) group privileges are not needed. After performing the privileged operations, the listener will give up root group privileges irreversibly.
    The listener will temporarily switch to the provided user and group immediately after startup. All subsequent operations will be done with the specified user and group privileges, except the system calls necessary to listen on configured endpoints. The listener will revert to super user (root) for a short period of time to listen on reserved addresses, such as TCP ports less than 1024. After the listener starts listening on all of its endpoints configured in listener.ora, it will switch to the specified user and group irreversibly. Therefore, the listener will give up the root privilege that it initially had. In the current release, -user and -group command line arguments only accept user and group identifiers specified in numeric form.
    For example, to execute a root listener called mylsnr and have it use privileges of a user identified

  • Currently, I have 5 iPads used for the same purpose. Since similar data /application is shared among all of them, is it alright for me "Backup" only 1 iPad. And in which case, if anything happens to any of the other iPads I can still recover the data

    Currently, I have 5 iPads used for the same purpose. Since the same data /application is shared among all of these iPads, is it alright for me "Backup" only 1 iPad instead of all 5?  And if anything happens to any my iPads which I have not backed up, I can restore it from the iPad where I have save the Backup. I am hoping by doing so, I will also be able to save some icloud storage space. Let me know if my question is still not so clear to you guys.  Thanks.

    Hello PeachY1234,
    If I understand correctly you'd like to save iCloud storage space by only backing up 1 of the 5 iPads to your account since they are all going to have very similar data and usage. You certainly can do that, but I do have to warn you that any unique data between them would be lost if you had to restore from that one backup made on another iPad so just keep that in mind. If you do need to restore in the future you can use this article to restore that iCloud backup:

    Where are you physically located?
    What country's Store are you using?
    The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
    Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

    Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
    I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
    Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
    I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
    Thanks
