Hi,
is it possible to use a Vlan interface (SVI) for syncing the switch profile on two 5596?
I tried this:
2 x 5596UP with NX-OS 5.2(1)N1(3)
Connected with 2 x Twinax on ports Eth1/15 and /16, portchannel 3.
The Po3 is a trunk, allowed Vlan is 439. Both 5596 have a SVI in Vlan439 with an IP. I can ping between the two 5596.
# ping 10.9.8.4
PING 10.9.8.4 (10.9.8.4): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.9.8.4: icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=0.887 ms
When I try to to this:
switch-profile k
sync-peers destination 10.9.8.4
I get:
# sh switch-profile status
switch-profile : k

As soon as I change the sync-peers destinations to use the IPs on the mgmt0 interface everything works fine:
# sh switch-profile status
switch-profile : k

Yeah I've always used the IP of the peer keepalive link. I think it might have something to do with CFS only working on ethernet and not SVIs.

Guys,
Any L3 adjacency is not supported by peer-link.

No, if you want a short answer.
Or...
Switch-Profiles feature will only work using mgmt0 interface. Here's the quote from
Cisco Nexus 5500 Series NX-OS System Management Configuration Guide, Release 6.x
Guidelines and Limitations for Switch Profiles
Consider the following guidelines and limitations when configuring switch profiles:
