Hi Experts,
I am trying to connect two nexus 5020 with a 10G ISL link.
Per my understanding, with new release 5.0.3 N2(2a) ISL link between two nexus switch is supported.
Following is my config
c5020-1(config)# show running-config int vfc 32
!Command: show running-config interface vfc32
!Time: Fri Dec 2 01:14:38 2011
version 5.0(3)N2(2a)
interface vfc32
bind interface Ethernet1/32
switchport mode E
switchport trunk allowed vsan 3040
no shutdown
c5020-1(config)#
c5020-1(config)# sho running-config int eth1/32
!Command: show running-config interface Ethernet1/32
!Time: Fri Dec 2 01:16:15 2011
version 5.0(3)N2(2a)
interface Ethernet1/32
switchport mode trunk
spanning-tree port type edge trunk
c5020-1(config)#
I have similar config on the other switch. But for some reason the link does not come up. vfc port keep "initializing" and Eth port stays isolated.
c5020-1(config)# sh int vfc32
vfc32 is trunking (Not all VSANs UP on the trunk)
Bound interface is Ethernet1/32
Hardware is Virtual Fibre Channel
Port WWN is 20:1f:00:0d:ec:ca:04:bf
Admin port mode is E, trunk mode is on
snmp link state traps are enabled
Port mode is TE
Port vsan is 3040
Trunk vsans (admin allowed and active) (3040)
Trunk vsans (up) ()
Trunk vsans (isolated) ()
Trunk vsans (initializing) (3040)
1 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 bytes/sec, 0 frames/sec
1 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 bytes/sec, 0 frames/sec
0 frames input, 0 bytes
0 discards, 0 errors
0 frames output, 0 bytes
0 discards, 0 errors
last clearing of "show interface" counters never
Interface last changed at Fri Dec 2 01:17:28 2011
c5020-1(config)#
c5020-1(config)# sh int eth1/32 fcoe
Ethernet1/32 is FCoE Isolated
c5020-1(config)#
If any expert throw some light to make me understand things better will be helpful.

i have not connected two Nexus before but looking at your eth 1/32 interfaces ..do you think it needs to be "
switchport trunk allowed vlan" your "FCOE" VLAN ?
