N7K mixing F2E and M1 card in the same default VDC

sam saeed

Level 1

I read an update stating that after version 6.2 in the N7K that F2E and M1 cards can be mixed in the same VDC. I am running version 6.2.(8a). Only the ports for the M1 card are available and I tried add the ports from the F2 cards to vdc 1 and its says its not supported. I know the only way I was able to get this to work by creating a separate VDC for the F card and leaving the M card in VDC1. The customer doesn't plan to use any VDC's only needs L3 functionality and L2 functionality to segment any non L3 ports into VLANs. What can I do to make sure the ports from the F2 cards are available to use.

switch(config-vdc)# allocate interface e2/1-48
Moving ports will cause all config associated to them in source vdc to be removed. Are you sure you want to move the ports (y/n)?  [yes] yes
ERROR: 1 or more interfaces are from a module of type not supported by this vdc
switch(config-vdc)#

I have a N7K with these cards:

Can you post the output of "show vdc" and "show run vdc" from the default vdc

I think the vdc type for VDC 1 probably does not include the M-F combination hence you are getting the error. The show outpus should give a clear picture on what is needed to get the F card added into this vdc.

Yup I resolved this by trying this:

config t

vdc switch

limit-resource module-type m1 f2e 

switch# show vdc

Switchwide mode is m1 f1 m1xl f2 m2xl f2e f3

vdc_id  vdc_name                          state               mac               
  type        lc      
------  --------                          -----               ----------

Thanks for your reply!
