Nexus 5546 HSRP not formed

[tsadmin]

Appreciate anybody's help.

I have a paif of nexus 5548 configured VPC using the mgmt interface as heartbeat and 2x10G as peerlink. Peer-gateway is also configure on the vpc domain. I have 2 FEX straight thru connection to each Nexus'es. Created 2 VPC and both are up and no suspended vlans. Allowed VLANs in peerlink is 10,20,30,40 and 50. I configure SVI for VLAN 10 on both nexus 10.10.10.100/24 and 10.10.10.101/24 respectively. The problem is when I create HSRP on this VLAN 10 (vip 10.10.10.88), the hello packets are not heard by both nexus, thus both Nexus are acting as active with unknown standby. I can ping both vlan 10 from each Nexus. I tried deleting and putting back the config but no luck.I tried creating another SVI vlan 20 on both nexus and form hsrp, result is same as in vlan 10. I am running version 5.1 release on both nexus. Has anyone encounter this issue before?

Appreciate all help and feedback. Thanks.

Hi,

Do you have layer-3 daughter card installed on both devices?

BTW, you mean 5548 right?

Hi,

Yes, have a look at the link I posted:

Layer 3 Capabilities of the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform

The Layer 3 engine card on the Cisco Nexus 5500 platform provides the following functions:

•  Layer 3 interfaces: Routed ports on Cisco Nexus 5500 platform ports,  switch virtual interfaces (SVIs) that can route traffic coming from  Cisco Nexus 5500 platform ports or from fabric extender ports;  PortChannels can be configured as Layer 3 interfaces as well.

•  Routing protocol support: Static, Routing Information Protocol Versions  1 and 2 (RIPv1 and v2), Open Shortest Path First Version 2 (OSPFv2),  Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Border Gateway  Protocol (BGP).

• Support for gateway redundancy protocols: Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).
