Issue regarding nexus topology

Liad Dayan · ‎08-30-2012

Hi guys,

Iam having some trouble managing the nexus topology.

i have 2 nexus 7010

i have 2 nexus 5k

and i have 6 nexus 2k connected to the 5k as a fex fabric.

Now ,

The 5k connected and they are doing vpc connectivity between them (vpc keep-alive,and such).

We want to connect the nexus 7k to the nexus 5k with vpc.

The nexus 7k got vpc between them (vpc keep-alive , and such)

everytime i set up the vpc vs the port-channel the ports shut down and cause the nexus`s to lose connectivity.

here is the configuration regarding this senario:

N7K-1

interface ethernet 1/1

channel-group 50 mode on

!

interface port-channel50

switchport

switchport mode trunk

vpc 50

N7K-2

interface ethernet 1/1

channel-group 50 mode on

!

interface port-channel50

switchport

switchport mode trunk

vpc 50

*** for couple of seconds it stays up and running and suddenly it shuts.

allso i tryed to configure it with spanning-tree port type network but it didnt help.

Somone have idea?

is it possible for you to post the sh vpc brief, sh vpc role, and sh vpc peer-keepalive

Do you have any Active vlan's going across the VPC Ports from the 5K's to the 7K's?
