I'm having problems getting VMs sitting on a Hyper-V host to communicate properly. Does anyone know if there are issues with using the ports in on the Nexus 2248 and/or FEX modules in general for this purpose? Since they are seen as a Virtual Switch in the Hyper-V host machine, I'm wondering if it is a limitation of the FEX module.

Hi,
I have handy devices so tested that. I use
N2K-C2148T-1GE connected N5K-C5020P-BF-SUP NX-OS 5.0(2)N1(1)
and Win2008 server where Hyper-V is running.
I can ping from a VM to N5K SVI ip address vise versa.

The VM is 99.99.99.10 / 0015.5d4e.4c05. I can ping to that from Nexus5020.

Is there any configuration issue on Hyper-V side ?
Here is my VM configuration and Network Manager.

Thanks for the reply. I did end up figuring this out. It was a VLAN turnking issues on the core layer above the 5K and not a Nexus 2K limitation. So far the Nexus 2K switches are working out fine although I think I may be done 2960S switch stacks with the 10GB uplinks from my distribution layer if I had to do it all over again for just 10/100/1000 ports. Obviously the new 2232 models with oversubscribed 10GB ports are unique to this line of devices.
