Ciao,
a little doubt arise afte reading the "Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide, Release 5.x" - September 12, 2011.
At the beginning of chapter 6 (and others times in the chapter) is stated:
"Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 5.1, you can bundle up to 16 active links into a port channel on the F Series module"
again when talking about LACP (6-9)
"With LACP, you can bundle up to 16 interfaces in a channel group. If the channel group has more than
8 interfaces, the remaining interfaces are in hot standby for the port channel associated with this channel
group on the M Series modules.
Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 5.1, you can bundle up to 16 active links into a port channel on
the F Series module."
So according to this starting with NX-OS 5.1 is possible to create an LACP with 16 active links, no more 8 active + 8 hot standby ?
Do this apply also to the vPC peer-link, but not to the vPC links (they still have 8 active) right?
While reading "Data Center Design with Cisco Nexus Switches and Virtual PortChannel: Overview" I found a table that put me in confusion ...
"Ports in a Single Port Channel -
8 without LACP or 16 (8 active, 8 standby) with LACP on a single Cisco Nexus 7000 Series or 16 all active with 8 active per Cisco Nexus 7000 Series, 16 all active on Cisco Nexus 5000 Series"
What does this mean? 8+8 in N7K ? or 8+8 or 16 in N7K ? while 16 in N5k??
I don't know english very well but I think that the above sentece is quite unclear!!
I think I'm little confused ... :-)
Ciao!
Luciano
