Dear All, Just recently enable VPC on Nexus (5010 & 2148T) switches, it went well and working fine. However when we do the underneath, issue occur. Case 1 Restart the Server - when we restart/shutdown & turn on the server, its unreachable (you could not ping it). Upong verification both interfaces in Nexus 5010-1 & Nexus 5010-2 are up, VPCs & port-channel are also up     Workaround - shutdown the Nexus 5010-2 (role is secondary) physical port and enable it again - operation back to normal. Case 2 When you shutdown one of the VPC member interface (either in Nexus 5010-1 or Nexus 5010-2) where the Server is connected - Server is still reachable, however when you Enable it, issue arrise and Server is unreachable Workaround - remove the channel group of both interfaces and remove the port-channel as well, and start again the VPC configuration. Note: I also attached the VPC configuration for reference. Hope to hear a reply or suggestion soon. Regards, ... View more

Hi All, Recently I used Cisco Unified Service Statistic Manager to monitor the call count (call volume) of our E1 trunks of our two voice gateway, however I noticed that the report is not consistent. Below my observation. I also attached the two graph files report for reference. #1 Report. April 11, 2012 (between 12:00AM to 11:00PM) Report Voice Gateway 1 Maximum Call = 8 Minimum Call = 1 Average Call =  4.731 - why there is a point here, not whole #? Voice Gateway 2 Maximum Call = 3 Minumum Call = 1 Average Call = 1.769  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #2 Report. April 11-13, 2012 (between 12:00AM to 11:00PM) Report Voice Gateway 1 Maximum Call = 14 - Call reach to 14 in April 11, 2012, but this 14 calls is not visible when you graph April 11, 2012 only  Minimum Call = 2 Average Call = 3 Voice Gateway 2 Maximum Call = 6 Minimum Call = 0 Average Call = 1 Hope to hear an explanation or suggestion why I'm getting this kind of report.
