Hi all,
I am not sure if this scenario will work or not, I want to enable OSPF over Peer-Link, my scenario is I have three locations :
location#1 has two nexus 7k configure one VDC connected over peer-link.
Location#2 has one core switch 6500 connected to Nexus 7k over trunk and enable OSPF over Vlan 66
Location#3 has one core switch 6500 connected to Nexu7k over trunk and enable OSPF over vlan 55.
I want to enable OSPF over peer-link to carry subnets over OSPF as showing in the diagram.
How can achieve this setup?
Thanks

hi ,
i updated the diagram,
also there is one switch connected to two Nexus using L3 interface and enable OSPF as showing in the diagram,
how can achieve this setup, am care of Peer-link , can i enable ospf over it and the ospf will work fine, or i need extra cable between the two nexus using L2 and enable ospf for this link or L3 link

if any one can help me for this setup.
Thanks

Hi Steven, I would highly recommend using another link that is separate point to point connection between N7K's for routing, although it will work with SVI's on the N7K's via the Peer link. It just depends if you have spare ports to use for routing - I prefer using separate L3 interface for routing, a matter of preference. Having said this there are some scenario's where this is not supported depending on configuration and set-up.
If you do take the latter option of using SVI's over the peer link, then please use ospf network type to be point-to-point with /30. It is totally supported by Cisco.
Best practice:
If you have point-to-point adjacencies then you should have no problem at all.
