Nexus 7010 - Configuration Best Practices

[dtran]

Hi all,

I am hoping someone can share their experience and configuration best practices with the Nexus 7k platform in a data center/campus environment. I currently have a hybrid 6509 with MSFC2, running EIGRP at the data center. I am looking into replacing the 6509 with a pair of Nexus 7010 and I am looking for configuration best practices, like configuring routing, VTP, QoS, Spanning Tree, vPC, .... etc..

Thanks in advance !! I appreciate any inputs/suggestions !!!

Hi Adras !! I appreciate your response !!!

I've never work with NX-OS before, so this will be something new for me to learn. I would like to find out what other people are doing out there when migrating from 6500 series switches to Nexus and what to aviod. I will read up the links you sent.

Thanks Andras !!!
