IPN devices managing design

[Steev112]

Dear All,

I am running multipod between two sites using N7K, using two VDCs first for campus and second for IPN, i have configured L3out from BL to campus-VDC my question is if the user want to access the IPN device via SSH,since there is no communication between MPOD-L3out in infra tenant and campus L3out, how can i achieve it?

Thanks

If you made vDC, That means they are 2 Physical Switches, Do you have any physical connectivity between them ?

Hi Bandi,

no there is no connectivity between the two VDCs?

Thanks

Basic requirement for any device to device reach-ability, you need to have physical connection between the devices, So you need 2 vDC to have connectivity to access and manage them as a management VLAN or Out of Band Management Switch.

Hi,

I agree with you since this is IPN device is there another option instead of to have links between the VDCs?

another question when i connect the links between the VDC do i need to configure new loopback or managment vlan on IPN-VDC, and configure another ospf process id for management ip address?

Thanks

Best Practice always connect to out of band management  switch, where Admins can only  able to Manage.

Hi Bandi,

I agree with you but as i know on VDC there is no management interface available, the mgmt interface only on admin vdc. how can achieve it here?

Thanks
