Hi Reza Quick question - my NXOS1 and NXOS2 are VPC providers and they are connected between themselves with peer-link etc, the same is valid for my other pair of switches NXOS4 and NXOS5 are VPC providers. So can I count on STP in that scenario for the links between the switch pairs? ... View more

@Reza Sharifi  thanks Reza that's what I thought but i was just trying to understand Balaji @balaji.bandi  I'm just going to do what you recommended - trunks and STP priorities on NXOS1 and NXOS2 - STP priority is actually already setup on these switches as you recommended!  Thanks!

@balaji.bandi  Hi Balaji Please confirm if this setup is valid!   ... View more

@balaji.bandi  Hi Balaji In our case we have only 2 cables and we cannot add more. Can we go VPC between the floors or we simply hook them and play with STP priorities? ... View more

@balaji.bandi  Hi Balaji Can you please confirm! This is the correct setup - I have only 2 cables from floor 1 to floor 2 and there is no additional connections allowed/possible between both floors.  ... View more

@Reza Sharifi  Thanks Reza! I think we are on the same page, I will test and post later! ... View more

@danjmcintyre  Hi Danjmcintyre  No there is no reason, I wasn't aware you can have VPC in this setup, is that actually possible please confirm!       ... View more

@Reza Sharifi  Hi Reza  The only issue is the connection between the NXOS pairs - NXOS1, NXOS2 -> NXOS4 and NXOS5 the end / access switches are no problem and client access is not an issue. I just try to figure out the setup for the two links ---- between the floors. Thats pretty much it. I want to make sure the access switches PC and VoIP can provide interrupted connectivity towards the FW. ... View more

@danjmcintyre  Both pair of NXOS switches are providing VPC as shown on the drawing 1. NXOS1+NXOS2 - VPC for the firewall 2. NXOS4 and NXOS5 - VPC for the PC and VoIP switches ... View more

@balaji.bandi  Hi Balaji  Yes they are in VPC domain as I refereed here "NXOS1+NXOS2 are providing VPC for the firewall"   Thanks!   Chris ... View more

@balaji.bandi  1. NXOS1+NXOS2 are providing VPC for the firewall - 2. NXOS4 and NXOS5 also VPC providers for the PC and VoIP switches The connections between both pairs of NXOS switches is unknown, we are installing two cat6 cables between the floors I just wonder how should I configure both NXOS pairs so we get a full redundancy on the Floor 2 towards the FW on Floor 1. Note: The VPCs on Floor 2 are not requirement but we want to have redundancy there anyway.  I'm sorry about poor description earlier  ... View more

If I go port-channel from Floor 1 -> Floor 2, that means I have to terminate both links in ONE switch which is defeating the purpose of redundancy as this one switch is becoming single point of failure. ... View more

I have only 2 physical links between Floor 1 and Floor 2 that's why I don't think I can go VPC between the NXOS pairs.Correct me if i'm wrong! ... View more

I had to go through the same - so EAP-TLS should be the preferred choice from security point, we were deploying certs to our endpoints for VPN purposes so we are also using the same certs for the WIFI. You have to play with Active directory PKI, and NPS. The exact AP should be very easy to configure (we did Aruba sorry to mention that here:))   Good thing this setup should be pretty straight forward and well documented online! Good luck! ... View more
