VPC query

[santoshkvrs]

Hi All,

I have configured 3 VRFs in my spine & leaf arc where one of my servers is connected to the leaf named compute containing 2 Nexus 9k Swithces, where these 2 switches are configured with VPC .

Here I have a query whatever the logs generated in SW1 is not visible in SW2.

Kindly guide me weather I can view the same logs on both Sitches or different logs will display.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

regards

Santosh

Hi @santoshkvrs 

Nexus switches, when they are in VPC, they are behaving as a single logical switch only from perspective of layer2 switching. From perspective of control plane and management plane, they are two individual switches, meaning any protocols are running local on the switch, implying also any logs are only local to the switch.

You can however make sure you have similar logging level on both switches so you can correlate the logs in case of an issue.  More details about logging on NXOS can be found here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus9000/sw/6-x/system_management/configuration/guide/b_Cisco_Nexus_9000_Series_NX-OS_System_Management_Configuration_Guide/sm_5syslog.html

Cheers,
