3850 connecting to nexus 9k

David Bell

Level 1

Hello experts.

 

I am trying to connect a Catalyst 3850 to Nexus 9K.

 

In the main this has been successful, unfortunately whilst the 9K sees the CDP neighbour fine, and can ping the 3850 switch management address I am unable to ping the 3850 from other subnets.

 

 

 

=== On the Nexus 9K ===

 

interface port-channel5
  description *** Server Room cab 4 top ***
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk native vlan 111
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,111,604,631,999
  vpc 5

 

interface Ethernet1/5
  description *** Server Room cab 4 top ***
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk native vlan 111
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,111,604,631,999
  channel-group 5 mode active

The switch configuration is very simple, trunk with the same native vlan 111, and single management IP address in vlan 999.

 

I seem to be missing s simple trick, any advice ?

 

With regards

Hi,

Where is the layer-3 interfaces (SVIs) for each vlan?

Can you post configs?

HTH

Thanks for responding.

 

The management interface of the 3850 switch is in VLAN 999

 

On the 9K I have:

 

interface Vlan1
  no ip redirects
  no ipv6 redirects

 

interface Vlan966
  description L3-transit-to-Core
  no shutdown
  no ip redirects
  ip address 10.##.##.##/28
  hsrp 3
    priority 110
    ip 10.##.##.##

 

interface Vlan999
  description Management
  no shutdown
  ip address 10.##.##.##/23

 

I am unable to ping from a client VLAN, eg vlan 9 which is just hosts on a separate subnet (routed by a 6500 chassis) to the management address of the switch on VLAN 999.

 

The 9K can ping the switch fine, and sees the CDP neighbour fine - so I agree its a routing issue, but I'm no expert .

 

Kind regards

 

Dave

Hi,

 

In order for other subnets to be able to reach vlan 999 on the 3850, the 3850 need to have a default gateway.

ip default-gateway <ip address of the gateway>

 

Does the 3850 have this command?

 

HTH

Thanks Reza.

Yes the 3850 has the default gateway configured. If I connect the 3850 to another device I can ping and manage the switch etc. The problem occurs when I connect the 3850 switch to the Nexus 9K, so I believe I've missed a command, just not sure what I've missed. Thanks for taking the time to reply, appreciated. Regards Dave
