Nexus 7000 M2 Module and OTV Support

[Mohammed Khair Khomakho]

Hello Guys,

Can someone confirm if the M2 linecard will support OTV or not, I just cant find relevant information about this on Cisco website.

Best Regards

Because OTV is a Layer 2 stuff, it should be supported in F1/F2 cards.  Make sure you have the right NX-OS running.  Check the Release Notes because you need to be running the right NX-OS to get OTV running as well.

You'll need to have the "LAN_TRANSPORT_SERVICES_PKG" Feature Based License (Product ID:  N7K-TRS1K9).

Hi Mohammed

OTV is supported on the M1 and M2 modules - You can't use a F1 or F2 module for OTV. Have a look at:
