Hi,
This is a configuration guidance questions so hoping someone can assist.
We are in the process of migrating our internal environment onto UCS environment shared with our Hosting/Customer environment. Unfortunately there are VLAN conflicts so we are hoping to workaround this rather than resolving the actual conflicts.
The current plan is as follows.
Implement new Nexus switching and create dedicated port channels for the internal environment. These switches will deal with all the internal VLANs while the existing switches deal with the hosting/customer VLANs. Basically we are separating the VLAN conflicts using different port channels.
My question is will this actually work? On the Fabric Interconnects there is a Global VLAN list so I'm worried the network traffic will get confused on the interconnects and not know which port channel to push the communication up since the conflicting VLANs will exist on both. A colleague suggested looking into VLAN Pin groups and tieing the VLANs to specific vNic's but I've never used Pin groups so don't want to waste time looking at this if it won't work anyway.
Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions from someone who has dealt with a similar situation in the past.
Thanks.
