Nexus 7010 vPC towards chassis service module

[danilo-dicesare]

Hi all,

what do you think about a interconnection like the one below described beetwen 7K and 6K service module? May i have some problem?

                             vPC

                        7K1---- 7K2

                          |    \/    |

                          |   / \    |   

                        6K1   6K2

so vPC beetwen 7K1/7K2 and 6K1/6K2 (with FWSM as GW for all VLAN) but NO interconnection beetwen 6K1 and 6K2 (maybe one only with sync VLAN). So do you thing that i may havea problem in reachbility of gw on FWSM? Balancing algoritm of vPC is smart so that Nexus always coose right path towards FWSM with active IP? I wanna eliminate interconnection beetwen service module chassis 'cause i don't want anymore STP on network.

tnx

Dan

It should be okay. Also assuming you the 7Ks are vPC to the 6K services switches.

However, I will use a dedicated link between the 6K's for FO/State link and only permitting the FO/State VLANs to go through.
