VDC interconnection

[opnineopnine]

Hi all,

I have my Nexus 7000 and I will create 3 vdc (core, aggregation, otv) I would like to know if there’s any best practices to interconnect this vdc contexts.

thanks.

Hi,

You can use layer-2 or layer-3.

Different port types can be assigned to a VDC. These include Layer 2 ports, Layer 3 ports, Layer 2 trunk ports, and PortChannel (Cisco EtherChannel) ports. Note that the ports on the 32 port 10G I/O Module (N7K-M132XP-12) must be allocated to a VDC in port groupings of four ports. The ports on the 48 port 10/100/1000 I/O Module (N7K-M148GT-11) can be allocated on a per-port basis. Logical interfaces such as SVIs that are associated with the same physical interface cannot be allocated to different VDCs in the current implementation.
