FI 6248 Nexus 5548 Port-channel problem

eric.loiseau
Level 1
Level 1

                   Hi all

I have a strange behavior between 2 FI and 2 nexus 5k configured as VPC , From a remote location and from my desktop I can ping odd ip and not even , from an other desktop in the same LAN the reverse, for both the tracert are good.

The only solution is to shutdown  ports 1/1-2 on nexus A or FI A and in that case both desktops can ping both IP.

All seems OK, no log error , no error on interface , I give below some commands

What thing to know is that the nexus b has a L3 card , not the Nexus A , In fact I am waiting for a spare L3 daughter card.

On both NexusI have such configuration and status

Do you use the 5548-L3 for any routing? Note that having asymetric routing in vPC pair of Nexus 5500s is not supported and yields unexpected forwarding behavior.

In fact in the probem I described the path is Esx -> FAB A - > N5K-A (for layer 2) -> N5K-B (for L3) -> routing to the LAN

And what you told me is that such configuration is not supported with VPC configuration , so I need to wait to receive the L3 card for the N5k-A. and check later if I have the same problem.

thanks

Correct.. You should not see this problem once you install L3 module in the N5K-A and implement a gateway redundancy protocol.
