Nexus 4000 and FEX

[WILLIAM STEGMAN]

I've recently brought up a Nexus 4000 and to my suprise it is not behaving like a FEX.  I'm pretty sure sales mentioned that it would be able to be managed by my Nexus 5548 as if it were a 2148 FEX.  Is there an option for it to be either an autonomous switch or a FEX, or was the sales person mistaken?

thank you,

Bill

It's a blade server layer2 switch, not a FEX.

Looking over the documentation, I don't see any way to have the vpc at the host, as I've been doing with the 5ks and 2ks.  So the only way to get active/active working with the 4k is to have the vpc between the 4k and 5k?

thank you

Can the 4000 series do VPC?

Thanks

[WILLIAM STEGMAN]

I'm not sure.  It doesn't appear as a feature, but the vpc domain command is available, though when trying to use it I get an error "feature is not available".

I thought so.  With the current code, the 4000 does not support VPC.

Thanks,
