vpc orphan-port suspend on Nexus 2000

[ivan widjaja]

Hi,

anyone know if "vpc-orphan-port suspend" works if i put on N2k interface. not the fex link.

example i have fex 101

and i put on eth 101/1/10

will it suspend the port on N2K connected to secondary N5K when peer link is down?

regards

Hi,

Yes, but you need 5.2(1) or later version.

see below:

Configuring the Suspension of Orphan Ports

When a device that is not vPC-capable connects to each peer, the connected ports are known as orphan ports because they are not members of a vPC. Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 5.2(1), you can explicitly declare phyiscal interfaces as orphan ports to be suspended (shut down) by the secondary peer when it suspends its vPC ports in response to a peer link or peer-keepalive failure. The orphan ports are restored when the vPC is restored.

Here is the link:

h9i,

does it work on nexus 2000 port?

vpc orphan-ports suspend is only supported on physical interaces & not on port-channels.

To have this mentioned in the CCO doc, there is already a bug filed.
