N7k and FEX connections

[fsebera]

Once we upgrade our N7k (N7K-1 and N7K-2) to NX-OS 7.2 and insert the F2 series line cards,

will this dual-homed server active-active setup function?

   Server1

   |     |     <----- Server is dual-homed

 FEX-A FEX-B

  /  \ /  \    <----- Each FEX is dual-homed

N7K-1===N7K-2

Thank you

FEX dual-homing for N7K is now supported as of 7.2 code.

Yes NX-OS 7.2 supports FEX-AA with F2 series line cards as I pointed out in my original post.

What I am looking for is a server dual connected to 2 different FEX and the 2 FEXs are dual-homed to 2 7000s. Is this supported? What is required?

Thanks

It should work fine but I personally havent tested this.

This has been see on the 5K and it used to work fine there.
