Hello all,
I'm about to deploy 2 Nexus 5000s. At this point, we're still in testing and I stumbled on following issue.
The 2 Nexus 5000 will have some switches connected via VPC. At this point we have a switch connected to VPC, but the link to the second Nexus is down because we are missing patch cables. So we have
nexus1 ---- nexus2
\
\
switch
I'm behind this switch in VLAN10.
Nexus1 is the primary, Nexus2 the secondary.
If I do a telnet to the in-band address on VLAN10 of Nexus1, no problem, this works.
However, if I try to do a telnet to the in-band address on VLAN10 of Nexus2, this doesn't work.
VLAN10 is spanning all over the place, interfaces are up.
If I check the arp table on Nexus2 for VLAN10, I only see its own IP-MAC address.
If I check the arp table on Nexus1 for VLAN10, I can see the IP-MAC address for Nexus2 but no ping, telnet... is working from him to Nexus2.
Is there a valid explenation for this?
Thanks in advance!
Br,
Dario
