Nexus vPC connection

[Xiangzhen Quan]

Hi team

Here are two Nexus vPC questions need help~

If a IBM server LAN card is in Active-Standby mode,Does the Nexus vPC running normallywithout other configuration?

If some device are installed windows/linux/unix OS,  and LAN card is in Active-Active/Active-standby mode, does the Nexus vPC running normally without other configuration?

Best regards

Hi Quan,

if your IBM server is running active-standby, you should not use vPC to connect to it...just use two individual links. 

If the NIC is active/active you will want to connect to it though vPC...so configure vpc on the Nexus, and on the server you will want to do nic-teaming.

Hope that helps

Hello Chad..

Thanks for you reply..

So, wo cannot connect to active-standby port via vPC,

But we can connect to active-active port, but should configure vPC to NIC-teaming, right??

I am sorry but I am new in this technology~ So I need double confirm

Many thanks~
