Solved: Re: Dell servers, VMware, Nexus 6Ks and vPC config support

Kernel-Panic · ‎03-20-2020

Hello, we have some Dell R640 servers, each with two 10 Gb interfaces that we have connected to two Cico 6K (5600) switches in a vPC. We have installed VMware on them and there is an issue on the switch end on the vPC with the show port-channel summary command showing that the links are in the Individual (I) state.

Is this a supported setup (Dell servers + Cisco vPC)? If it is then could the VMware NIC settings be causing the problem i.e. what aggregation mode should we be using?

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the info, we're just waiting for our network guys to configure the vPCs correctly and we'll set up the teaming as per the article.
