I am currently building an application and would like to deploy the networking component with an SDN switch/controller UI and deploy with Chef.  The Chef Supermarket had a pointer to obtain an image to test with but no one ever bothered to respond to the email listed. I believe the N3K has Chef Support and is SDN capable.  Has anyone set this up and know where to get the right components? <snip from the Chef supermarket> Please note: A virtual Nexus N9000/N3000 may be helpful for development and testing. Users with a valid  cisco.com user ID can obtain a copy of a virtual Nexus N9000/N3000 by sending their  cisco.com  user ID in an email to  get-n9kv@cisco.com . </snip> ... View more

<simplified version>  Cisco 3750 (sw2) with 802.1q trunk to white box switch then also trunk to ESX server. (carrying VLAN's 100, 110 for the purpose of this discussion) There is only one cable carrying traffic, adding another cable is not an option. SW 2 carries VLAN 100 and is for Mgmt, I can connect just fine to the Console on ESX (connected to 100) and to any VM I bring up over 100. SW 2 carries VLAN 110 and is the traffic I want to monitor on another interface on the VM.  I create a port group, enable promiscuous mode and filter on vlan100. What I see is just bridge traffic, not the client sessions on 110.  This is expected. What I want to see is all of it, ie. SPAN. Apparently you cannot SPAN with a Destination VLAN (that would be easy) Apparently RSPAN with source and dest on the same switch will not send any frames to the VLAN, I verified it doesn't work... RSPAN from another switch, carrying the VLAN on SW2 (without any dest physicall interfaces) also does not work Just need the SPAN traffic to show up on a VLAN so I can sniff it with my ESX VM, any ideas? thanks! ...

3750 Switch:     Cisco IOS Software, C3750E Software (C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.2(3)E, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc4) RSPAN set up as below:  monitor session 2 source interface Gi1/0/13 monitor session 2 destination remote vlan 666 Is there a debug to see the traffic on VLAN 666 on this switch other than plugging a device into a switch port? (it's in a remote DC) This is being trunked into a blade server here: interface GigabitEthernet1/0/46 description Microblade Trunk switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk allowed vlan 20,100,110,120,666 switchport mode trunk the (Intel) blade servers switch shows 666 coming in on xe68 and being sent to internal interface Qe27 which is a blade in the server. Switch #show vlan 666 Interface Tagged --------- ------ qxe27 Tagged xe68 Tagged Brought up a VM in ESX, I created a port group on the vSwitch to filter on 666 and accept promiscuous (see attachment) However, when I tcpdump on the interface, I am only seeing multicast/broadcast traffic. This is a single catalyst switch with RSPAN, I don't need any physical ports assigned to make it work do I?  Is there a way to debug and see if 666 is seeing all the SPAN traffic? Thanks! ...

This one has been bugging me (npi) as I believe I have it configured properly and it's a terribly simple use case. Outside (10.2.234.x) --Router--(10.12.1.x) Inside Outbound NAT works great with:   ip nat inside source list 1 interface GigabitEthernet0 overload however, I also want to port forward inbound.  I have a secondary address on the outbound interface: interface GigabitEthernet0 ip address 10.2.234.3 255.255.254.0 secondary ip address 10.2.234.2 255.255.254.0 ip nat outside ip nat enable This seems to create the translations: ip nat pool PRTFWD 10.12.1.62 10.12.1.62 netmask 255.255.255.0 type rotary ip nat inside destination list 100 pool PRTFWD Here is an example using port 80: show ip nat tr Pro Inside global         Inside local           Outside local         Outside global tcp 10.2.234.3:80         10.12.1.62:80         10.10.120.119:64589   10.10.120.119:64589 tcp 10.2.234.3:80         10.12.1.62:80         10.10.120.119:64594   10.10.120.119:64594 So translations appear correct, but the host on browser 10.10.120.119 never gets a page back on port 80. I must be missing something...  ideas? ... View more
