SNA issue when moving to new Virtual environment

[thomuff]

Today, we have a server running SNA that connects to router via the following.    Vitrual Server -->  Nexus 1000v ----> Nexus 7010 ---->2800 series router

We are trying to move server to new environment  where it is  Virtual Server ----> Nexus 1000v ----- Fabric Interconnect-----Nexus 55xx-----Nexus 7010-----2800 router

this is not working.  any ideas or suggestions.

Do you have to bridge across switches on the same vlan?

[Richard Burts]

Switches on the same vlan should forward traffic within that vlan. It should not be necessary to bridge that traffic.

Are the MAC addresses of the source and the destination visible in the switch forwarding table at both ends? If not I suggest that you go device by device and find where an address is being dropped.
