Hello,
Driving myself crazy here trying to get my Cisco Nexus 1000v switches stood up and talking with the rest of my network.
Version 5.2(1) SV3 (1.3)
I have three hosts, ESXi 5.5 Enterprise Plus, and I have stood up a pair of VSM modules in HA for the switches. I have configured the port-channels for LACP, feature LACP is enabled. I am also trying to have these switches use layer 3 for VSM to VEM Communication.
Here are my two port profiles:
port-profile type ethernet Prod-Uplink
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-2
channel-group auto mode active
no shutdown
system vlan 2
state enabled
vmware port-group
port-profile type vethernet CiscoN1Kv-MGMT
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 2
no shutdown
capability l3control
system vlan 2
state enabled
vmware port-group
On the HP side of the switch, it is set in a Trunk for LACP. This should be everything I need?
What is happening is that the Prod-Uplink never comes online, and no communication happens between the VSM and VEM, sh module shows just the VSMs. I think the problem is that the Cisco Nexus 1000v is not bringing the trunk online.
I have tried various channel-group commands with no luck
channel-group auto mode active
channel-group auto mode passive
channel-group auto mode on mac-pinning
Any help would be appreciated, find it very odd that it wouldn't work with these switches.
Thanks.
