FEX with n7k

[SIMMN]

Two questions, assuming latest version of NX-OS for N7K:

1: Is FEX AA feature on N7K the same as Ehanced VPC on n5k?

2: Can I use individual physical port on n7k to connect a FEX or I still need port channel configured facing FEX?

thanks,

Hello,

1. Yes. More info on EvPC: https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12141156/difference-between-vpc-and-enhanced-vpc

2. You would need to use port-channel for the FEX to come up.

HTH,

Wes

1- As you have the latest version of NX-OS for N7K so t's almost the same, but consider config sync and FHRP

2- Port-channel is a must to connect N7K with FEX
