basic UCS networking

[khanasim781]

Hi Guys

Im new to UCS and I need some help getting network connectivity up and running from my UCS blade servers.

I have a Nexus 5K connected to a 6248FI.

Nexus Port config is:

interface Ethernet1/8
  description Portchannel to Fibre Interconnect A
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk native vlan 2025
  spanning-tree port type edge trunk

I've configured a unified uplink port on the FI so i've got FC and Ethernet going through the same port.

FI port config:

interface Ethernet1/32
  description UF: UnifiedUplink
  pinning border
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk native vlan 2025
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2025-2026,2276,4048
  udld disable
  no shutdown

The Vnic on my server looks like this :

interface Vethernet833
  description server 1/4, VNIC 1-fabric-A
  switchport mode trunk
  no pinning server sticky
  pinning server pinning-failure link-down
  no cdp enable
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 2276
  bind interface port-channel1290 channel 833
  service-policy type queuing input default-in-policy
  no shutdown

Now , the thing is , i've put an IP address on the server and it cannot ping the default gateway.
I've been following online guides as to how to set things up but cannot for the life of me figure out why this isnt working!
any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You are not specifying the allowed vlans in the Switch, you are only configuring your native vlan.

Fix that piece of the config and let me know.

Can you please clarify

- you are using UCS Blade system ?

- which OS did you install

- what do you mean by

 do you talk about CIMC, or OS ?

hey guys

thanks for the responses, i figured out the problem was further upstream where the intended vlan was not in a trunk..

Thanks again
