Hi,
I have a question.
if been looking through the apic-em documentation to find if there is support for mac table of the Nexus 5500.
It seems that the mac address table of the 5500 is not collected.
It would be great to do a path trace of a client PC to a server that runs in the Datacenter.
It looks that the apic-em reads the uplinks. and the switches/routers behind the uplinks though cdp neighbours.
it also discovers the the FEX models.
Will this be added in the near future?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Palermo,
Hope you are using the latest APIC EM (GA1.2) release. What I could know from a similar question is that EasyQoS App is supported. Mean time will try to get more details.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Geevarghese,
I think you mean to say EasyQoS was not supported on Nexus5k.
There are some challenges with getting host information from 5k which we are looking into.
Supported Switches | Minimum Software Version 1 | Recommended Software Version | Base Apps Support | Path Trace Support | EasyQoS Support | Path Stats Interface | Path Stats QoS |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches | All versions | NX-OS version 7.2(0)N1(1) | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | No |

Hi aradford,
Ok, is supported but not working correct. I hope it will be solved within the next release.
Thanks for helping :-)

Hi araford,
Ok i'm confused, I was wondering wy the mac table is not collected.
I asume (that is dangerous :-) that Path Trace uses the mac table to map and show the ingress/egress interfaces.
May be EasyQoS is part of this!?

the only information that is required from the MAC table is the mac/ip address of the host.
It is only required on the device that the host is directly connected to.
This means that you would not be able to path trace to a host IP address of a device connected to a nexus 5k (at present).
