I have this scenario and trying to configure `vPC` for Cisco ASA 5585 (Active-Standby)
Nexus vPC config:
interface port-channel1 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 10 speed 10000 mtu 9216 vpc 1
Nexus vPC output
# show vpc brief Legend: (*) - local vPC is down, forwarding via vPC peer-link vPC domain id : 1 Peer status : peer adjacency formed ok vPC keep-alive status : peer is alive Configuration consistency status : success Per-vlan consistency status : success Type-2 consistency status : success vPC role : primary Number of vPCs configured : 3 Peer Gateway : Enabled Dual-active excluded VLANs : - Graceful Consistency Check : Enabled Auto-recovery status : Enabled, timer is off.(timeout = 240s) Delay-restore status : Timer is off.(timeout = 30s) Delay-restore SVI status : Timer is off.(timeout = 10s) vPC Peer-link status --------------------------------------------------------------------- id Port Status Active vlans -- ---- ------ -------------------------------------------------- 1 Po999 up 10,100 vPC status ---------------------------------------------------------------------- id Port Status Consistency Reason Active vlans -- ---- ------ ----------- ------ ------------ 1 Po1 up success success 10
Cisco ASA config:
# sh run int po1 ! interface Port-channel1 lacp max-bundle 8 no nameif no security-level no ip address
Port-channel config
interface TenGigabitEthernet0/8 channel-group 1 mode active no nameif no security-level no ip address ! interface TenGigabitEthernet0/9 channel-group 1 mode active no nameif no security-level no ip address
Port-channel summary
# show port-channel summary Flags: D - down P - bundled in port-channel I - stand-alone s - suspended H - Hot-standby (LACP only) U - in use N - not in use, no aggregation/nameif M - not in use, no aggregation due to minimum links not met w - waiting to be aggregated Number of channel-groups in use: 1 Group Port-channel Protocol Span-cluster Ports ------+-------------+---------+------------+------------------------------------ 1 Po1(N) LACP No Te0/8(P) Te0/9(P)
# Question:
- Why port channel showing `Po1(N)` `N - not in use, no aggregation/nameif`?
- How vPC work in Active-Standby mode?
- I haven't see any document related vPC with ASA so far so does this solution going to work or i am wasting my time?
