Hi Oswaldo Type 1 inconsistencies are a little difficult to manage... Yes,... root guard is one of type 1 inconsistency... how is your vpc laid out ? Do you have VPC between your N7k's and also to all the access layer N5k's ? why do you want to apply root guard when you have VPC, since STP is kind of not really hazardous with VPC ? I think its a good idea to bring up the root guard , and all other STP related parameters when initially configuring the switch, but if we need to add it on, we might need a downtime. Hope this helps.. Raj ... View more

infact with route-maps, try using prefix lists instead of ACL's.. that might work too ! ... View more

Hi Bravo Try the same with prefix lists.. it will work.. i had issues with route-map too, but prefix lists works great. interface Ethernet1/3 ip distribute-list eigrp 1 prefix-list BLOCK_10.0.0.0 out ip prefix-list BLOCK_10.0.0.0 seq 5 permit 10.244.244.20/30 etc How many networks do you want to advertise out ? If there are too many try summarizing the subnets.... Hope this helps.. Raj ... View more

Yes.. Give it a shot.. Once it registers back to primary 1010 you should be fine.. By the way, if primary is crashed now, are you able to login to the iLo port of secondary, and do a "connect host" and see if you see the mgmt IP flipped to the secondary? If not, cdp will fail.. Try to see  if you are able to get onto 'conf t' on secondary now.. Raj ... View more

Hi Karlsson How many VSM's do you have with Nexus 1010 ? Can you send the show module from the VSM's ? There is a chance that the VSM is built from the standby unit, and due to that the Nexus 7k fails CDP with interfaces going to standby unit since all configs are done through active unit.. We had one of the VSM's which rebooted and flipped over to standby 1010. Since then the CDP fails with standby unit since this unit does not have any mgmt ip configured.. Regards Raj ... View more

I have the same issue , even if the management IP is configured. We were asked to change the CDP timer in Nexus 1010 to 120 secs to resolve this issue. I have still not tried it.. May be you can try it if your setup is still not in production.. Regards ... View more

Hi James.. interesting post, and I was working on similar situation: Why doesn't the output queue in the default policy map (out-q3) match the actual class-map name of 1p7q4t-out-q3 --- The output of show interface queuing has the queue-limits defined: Configured queue-limit ratios       queue-limit ratios:     78[1p7q4t-out-q-default] 1[1p7q4t-out-q2] 1[1p7q4t -out-q3] *1[1p7q4t-out-q4] *1[1p7q4t-out-q5] *1[1p7q4t-out-q6] *1[1p7q4t-out-q7] 16[1p7q4t-out-pq1]    If you look at queues 2, 3, 4,5 - they are at 1 %..  I really dont know the correlation of class-maps to the drop packets output that you showed above. For us we are getting tail drops at queue4, because COS 3 is mapped directly to queue 4 (which should not be the case). COS 0-4 should normally map to default class, but it wasnt Are my assumptions about the output discards correct relating to the fact there is no relevant mapping for the modified egress queues in the default system policy - Yes.. if you modify the default policies with another policy-map, you would still see output discards if the new policy is not applied to interface using "service-policy type queuing output abc" command Where in the config guide is this? I've seen some reference that infer it, but don't actually point it out. - closest i have seen is this URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/5_x/nx-os/qos/configuration/guide/cpl.html#wpxref84769 I'm sure someone can explain to me why this is a system wide config item, rather than on a per vdc basis - may be by design.. eveyrhingt points to default vdc .. may be this would change with newer IOS versions ? Hope this helps. Regards Raj ... View more

Thanks. I think I got an answer for this. In anycase if anyone else has had any issues with traffic maps, please reply back. ... View more

Are the local vfc interfaces up ? Can you send us the config ? I liked this book for fcoe: http://www.scribd.com/doc/60158853/h6290-Fibre-Channel-Over-Ethernet-Techbook even though it has brocade configs, it clearly outlines fcoe configs of nexus 5000. Hope this helps Raj ... View more

Not sure if distribute list is supported with ospf on nx-os. i have done it with eigrp with success. not sure if this functionality is added in 6.0.. have a look at this url: http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_NX-OS/IOS_OSPF_Comparison "The NX-OS does not support distribute-lists used to remove OSPF routes from the routing table.  The NX-OS does support inter-area Type-3 LSA/route filtering using the filter-list command configured under the OSPF routing instance." May be if the other end is IOS, you can filter outgoing updates from ASBR... Raj ... View more
