Nexus 5548 with Fex vpc and Host server vpc

[Diana Mascarenhas]

   Can we have the below setup with VPC on Fex as well as Host Server ?

Hi Diana,

Yes that can be achieved assuming you are on 5.1(3)N1(1) or later.

You configure this as part of Enhanced vPC. Have a look at the following documentation.

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the info.

I have 5.1.3.N1.1a version. I suppose that should support Enhanced vpc.

Thx.

Yes it does.

When looking at that picture above, how does the upgrade sequence look like ?

The N5Ks are ISSU-enabled but the FEXes are not.

Is there actual downtime for the host server at the bottom ?

Thanks Lucien and Michael.
