Hi All,
We want to implement OTV between two DC within 4 N7K, I just wanted to confirm that what modules are required to implement OTV. We have only F2-E cards. No M series cards, No F3 series card at all int nexus.
I have gone through the below link where it is mentioned that F2 series cards does not support OTV. Only M series and F3 series cards supports OTV, is it true? or in 6.2 version OTV supported on F2-E series card ?
Any suggesion input ?
Thanks

Hello,
You are right, OTV is only supported with M-module or F3 card.
The F2 module is not hardware capable to do OTV.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your reply. Just quick one why we need F3 or M series card to implement OTV. F2E supports L3 capability and L2 as well then why still F3 or M cards are required.
Also can we implement OTV on ASR if not nexus as we have both but actual vlans which has to be extends are on Nexus.

Hi Jain,
The M module is required to encapsulated the OTV traffic in the join interface, L3 capability isn't enough to do that, this is a hardware restriction.
In the future software relase, the F module can be used as otv internal interface only.
