Nexus 1000v configure trunk link -> Nexus 5548

[dclee]

Currently testing Nexus 1000v in the lab and so far I have all of the Vethernet working with the correct vm's.

Now I need to trunk back to a 10gig port on the Nexus 5548.

Here is the config that I am using that appears to be working

port-profile type ethernet n1kv-uplink0
  vmware port-group
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-220
  channel-group auto mode on
  no shutdown
  system vlan 1
  state enabled

Also here is the Sh int trunk result.

Nexus1000v# sh int trunk

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Port       Native  Status        Port
           Vlan                  Channel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eth3/6     1       trnk-bndl     Po1
Po1        1       trunking      --

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Port       Vlans Allowed on Trunk
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eth3/6     1-220
Po1        1-220

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Port       STP Forwarding
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eth3/6     none
Po1        1,220

Is there anything else that I need to do with this config ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Dave,

On the upstream N5k you should configure spanning-tree for type edge, bpduguard and bpdufilter.  You will also need a port-channel if connecting to a single switch. It is also necessary to configure system vlans for control, packet, management, service console, iSCSI, vMotion, and FT vlans.  If vCenter is hosted behind an N1k VEM then that vlan should also be a system vlan.

# Individual interface or port-channel
(config-if) spanning-tree port type edge trunk

(config-if) spanning-tree bpdu filter

(config-if) spanning-tree bpdu guard
