Hi all
I am trying to build a VXLAN tunnel between C9396PX and C93180YC-FX. when i run a "show nve peer" on the C93180YC-FX, it shows that the peer (which is a C93180YC-FX) is up and i am learning mac address over the nve interface. When i run the same command on the C9396PX, it doesn't show any peer and i am not learning any mac over the nve, i ran the below command too but shows no peer, can it be that there are hardware limitations on the C9396PX? do i need hardware store and forward then a reboot on the C9396PX?
NXOS image file is: bootflash:///n9000-dk9.6.1.2.I3.1.bin image on the C9396PX

Can you share the "show run int nve1" from both switches?
Which flavor of vxlan you have? Flood & Learn or BGP-EVPN?
If it's F&L it could be possible that the peer is not listed simply because there is no user traffic.
Cheers,

Hi Sergiu
I am running flood and learn. i have shared the diagram and the nve configs below. On one VTEP, the nve peer shows up and i am learning MACs from the remote VTEP. But on that remote VTEP which is a C9396PX, there is no peer showing up and i am not learning MAC from the NVE interface. I have a laptop connected on that VTEP in the VLAN

Again, for a VTEP in VXLAN F&L to see it's neighbors, you need user traffic to be received (most of the times, it start with ARPs).
Looking at the topology, it looks like you have two vPC domains, but only one peer is connected to underlay. Have you tried to connect the second peer to the underlay? I am quite positive that this type of topology is not supported.

Hi Sergiu
No i have not tried that yet, i though it was not necessary since both VTEP peers share the same secondary loopback IP. Do you mean having them connected like in the attached diagram (green L3 links)? I will connect all of them to the underlay network and test, i will get back to you on this. Thanks for your input.

Correct. Exactly like in your attached diagram. Looking forward for the results.
