Hello,
Has any one seen the issue when Cisco Nexus (Nexus 5672UP) has some strange behaviour - it says that Loops are detected and port-channel are disabled:
2023 Mar 7 19:59:31 NET02A %FWM-2-STM_LOOP_DETECT: Loops detected in the network for mac f8f2.1edc.8c80 among ports Po1419 and Po1422 vlan 903 - Port Po1422 Disabled on loop detection
2023 Mar 7 20:08:55 NET02A %FWM-2-STM_LOOP_DETECT: Loops detected in the network for mac 5cb9.019d.8450 among ports Po1423 and Po2909 vlan 903 - Port Po2909 Disabled on loop detection
2023 Mar 7 20:19:56 NET02A %FWM-2-STM_LOOP_DETECT: Loops detected in the network for mac 5cb9.019d.8450 among ports Po2909 and Po1423 vlan 903 - Port Po2909 Disabled on loop detection
It's quite strange - because the port-channels are totally different and the end devices is not connected to each other. So it's not technically possible for the mac addresses to be looped.
The version we're running is not very old: version 7.3(8)N1(1). We're running straight through VPC connecitivty to servers. The mentioned Loops are detected on both of Nexuses in VPC pair. I've tried to search for Cisco bugs - but unsuccessful.
Can someone help me with this ? Thanks

VPC connecitivty to servers <<-
NSK side you run vPC
Server side you run teaming PO with lacp or not ??
draw topology please if you can

hello, thanks.
Nexus side the VPC is running with LACP port-channels. Also the server side is bundled with LACP.
here is the simplified topo:

check video I share, the LACP and pinning must config correctly.

Thanks, we're doing pinning max-links 1 as our default configuration.

Thanks, i've watched it - everything is clear - i've already configured bunch of Fexes. Was there any special point you wanted to emphasize ?
