Hmm, Ok that "may" be it then. gah. I hate upgrading nexus's   Its the 10 slot version of the 7k im using, it doesnt seme to mention the 48 port module on that page, but yeah I guess it may be related.. ( I cant see why 3 modules would be faulty ) so I guess this is really the only common thing.   Cheers, ... View more

Hi,   Its 6. something  ( Im not in front of it right now )   And im certain its these ones. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/nexus-7000-series-switches/datasheet-c78-730273.html   They are 48 port , 1/10G fiber. with "8 port groups.." No idea if this helps at all.   Its a new install, It contains the default VDC and an admin user. No other config has been done.     ... View more

Thank you for clearing that up.. I guess what confused me was that the fex uplinks are not "technically" traffic uplinks. more of a backplane link.   Does this also mean that say I bundle 4x10G links. Do I only get the normal 10G bandwidth but 40G throughput? ( You know, the port channel problem where a single session uses one link and a max of 10G . ) Granted you would see 40G if you had 4 10G sessions.. Anyway.. Does it have this problem too?   So for example: int po100 switchport mode fex fabric fex associate 100 no shut int eth1/1 channel-group 100 no shut int eth1/2 channel-group 100 no shut int eth1/3 channel-group 100 no shut int eth1/4 channel-group 100 no shut ...

Hi Thanks for your update. With regards to changing stuff on other routers, I don't think this is practical. It seems that whatever must be done to prefer ospf for this route must be done on R5.   Im starting to think that this isnt even possible ( Other than prefering ALL ospf over bgp as this works , but not really what is wanted. )   ...
