trunking nexus 5596 and netapp or exsi issue

[nikisal]

hi

i have 2 issues with trunking between nexus 5596 and a esxi server .....can not get the servers to ping out

and the netapp connected to the same 5596 cannot ping.

if the server is a access port it works fine.

is there any tricks that are required to be configured on the nexus to make this work.

Hi ,

Is NPIV enabled ?

can you post your config?

Make sure we are actually tagging for those vlans on the host (Netapp/ESXi). If we are not, then this would explain why it works in access mode on the switch.
