Adding ports to a vlan on Fabric interconnect (End-host Mode)

selby maake
Level 1
Level 1

Hi All,

 

I have an issue, i created vlan 99 and added the ports and port-channel to the vlan on the ucs fabric interconnects and saved the configs.

 

To my surprise nothing has changed, they are still on vlan 1 (default).

See my configuration below.

UCS-A# scope eth-uplink
UCS-A /eth-uplink # create vlan EMM_NET 99
UCS-A /eth-storage/vlan* # create member-port a 1 15
UCS-A /eth-storage/vlan* # create member-port a 1 16
UCS-A /eth-storage/vlan* # create member-portchannel a 61
UCS-A /eth-uplink/vlan* # set sharing none
UCS-A /eth-uplink/vlan* # commit-buffer
UCS-A /eth-uplink/vlan #

Or should i only create vlan 99 on the northbound switch (Nexus5548UP) since the Fabric Interconnect is in end-host mode?????????????

 

Regards,

OK, now you have to give us more detailed information ?

what is you OS ? ESXi ?

And maybe, depending how your host is configured, you should make Vlan 99 as the native vlan !

If you create a new Vlan (most likely for both fabrics), it will automatically be included in all uplink trunks ! you don't have to do any special action.

Connect nx-os and do the proper CLI commands, like "show interface brief",... sho interface ...

Hi Wdey,

 

I tried that, still no changes, see the attached screenshots.

Below is the output from the show interface:

Hi Wdey,

 

I'm lil confused there!!! It doesn't take the command

 

 show interface ethernet 1/15 | port-channel 61 trunk 1 | vlan 99

 

Is that correct???

 

show interface ethernet 1/15 trunk ....

EMM-UCS-A(nxos)# show interface ethernet 1/15-16 trunk

OK, nice, your Vlan 99 appears !

Is your problem solved ?

Not yet, i can't ping the servers. I have added the Nics to vlan 99 on the service profile template.

That's the only thing left

It worked after i changed i made vlan 99 a native vlan.

 

Thank you!!!! You're a star smileyyes

Perfect ! Congratulation ! one problem less :-)

Have a nice day
