Hello guys,
I was wondering if it was possible to create a vsan trunk between the cisco UCS 6200 FI and a Nexus 5500 UP.
I see how to configure vsan trunking on UCS and on Nexus 5500 but it is said in the Nexus config guide that :
Trunking configurations are only applicable to E ports
I cannot remember the port type negotiated between UCS and Nexus.
Does anyone ever try this before ?
Kind Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
If UCS is running in Switched mode then you will have E port
If UCS is running End-Host (NPV) mode then you will use Trunking Fport feature to MDS/N5K NPIV core switch.
Please see this sample for additional information on Trunking and UCS-MDS trunking configuration:

I hope this helps.

Hi Carlos,
Thanks for your quick response.
I will try tommorrow in my lab.
As said by Dynamoxxx, Do you think it is possible on N5K ?
The only configuration I've found in N5K Configuration guide was for TE and not TF ...

Thomas

Yes. This is supported on N5K.
You will use a SAN PORT CHANNEL on N5K.
I found this for you:

Thanks for your quick response guys.
Sadly I cannot try in my lab so I will wait to go back to my client.
I'll let you know what happened.
