• See the bandwidth for the Port-Channel on Powerconnect & Force10

  Reference Dell dear community,

  Y at - it a command CLI or GUI to see how much bandwidth result after having done a port channel in some port Powerconnect and Force10? Suppose we have 4 port 1 Gb and do 4 ports with 1 port-channel. So actually in this channel port have a bandwidth of 4 GB.

  In Cisco, with the command show interface port-channel 1, we get the result

  switch #sh po int 1
  Port-channel 1 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Material is EtherChannel, address is 0064.4026.739a (bia 0064.4026.739a)

  input stream control is turned off, output flow control is not supported
  Members in this channel: Gi0/1 Gi0/2
  Type of the ARP: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00

  The PowerConnect switches do not have the ability to show as much detail as the Force10 can. The RMON tables have an interface use %, what may be the closest we can do on the PowerConnect switch.

  #show rmon statistics

  I've seen some monitoring software which was able to question the switch via SNMP and get some information of bandwidth. However, this can be a bit inconsistent, according to which switch and what software is used.

  The MIBs/OID can be downloaded with the software switch.

• FC Port-Channel does not

  Hello

  I need help, I'm setup CF port-channel between 9148 MDS and Cisco fabric Interconnect 6248 and the port-channel does not work. He said no operational members.

  For the MDS, see configuration below:

  NPIV #feature SW (config)

  SW (config) #feature fport-channel-trunk

  SW (config) #interface fc1/17-18

  SW(config-f) force Group-channel mode # 63

  SW(config-f) #switchport trunk-allowed vsan 1-2

  SW (config) - #no close

  Note: the ports are assigned to vsan 2

  See the attached screenshots for interconnection fabric config

  On the fabric of interconnections switchport mode are defined E. What I have to change to F. If yes where can I change since the option is not there in the UCS Manager?

  have you added the VSANS on the UCSM as well?

• MDS configuration for port channel

  I tried to put in place the new download FC port channel to a pair of 9124 s MDS, but as I don't know enough on the side MDS, I can't the link to come. Are there references available anywhere say you blow by blow exactly how to set up the side MDS of the channel of the port? Or maybe an example of configuration work?

  I don't think it's possible to configure the fabric of interconnections, FC switch mode that only VAN is based on those. The only mode of switch that is taken in charge and possible to configure is the local network Ethernet switching mode.

• Configuration port-channel, DTP, disabling

  Hi all

  I had a problem on the day where I wanted to attach a pile of 3750 x 2 to the network, the core is a 6500.

  There was a link configured for the core of the 3750 he had the configuration necessary trunk with BPDUFILTER active

  at the end of the base he had the standard configuration of trunk. The link is on the rise and work.

  Went to get a second battery for the heart link. Decided that DTC must be turned off at the end of the SWITCHPORT NONEGOTIATE battery

  the normal chest on the port configuration on the port channel port joined. Then suddenly the newspapers went crazy and right now, I need

  Spanning tree went crazy and started blocking areas of the network to avoid loops. There is STDS running in the network

  I had similar errors to this % SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF

  I pulled the battery cables and all services affected later came back.

  I know that enable the BPDUFILTER option stops at the port to participate in STP.

  Please could someone confirm due to the incompatibility of the config on these ports it has this problem or is there something I missed here

  Thank you mnay

  The BPDU filter is the root of the problem.

  You can't have two active rising running without creating a loop, unless they run into a PaGP/LACP-EtherChannel configuration. By having one or two links running with a filter BPDU, spanning Protocol tree on the 6500 didn't know that a link had to be in a deadlock state and he was panicked when MAC addresses on the stack of 3750 began to stir between interfaces.

  3750 cross media - stack EtherChannel using LACP, so if you want the resilience of two connections without having to factor in the covering tree branches, it is a good idea to combine the two in a group of channels and have both the 3750 and 6500 treat them as a single logical connection.

  If you want to keep them separated, you will need to remove the filters BPDU these ports and leave spanning tree figure things out properly.

• Port-channel problem between fabric Interconnect and vPC N7K

  Hi all

  I have a problem with the Port Uplink channel between fabric interconnect with N7K using vPC

  It's my network for the UCS deployment topology

  

  N7K I configured vPC for red link and green linkto the fabric Interconnect A I has configured the Port-Channel with Member is Port 1 and Port 2, uplink is red link. Interconnection fabric B, I have configured the Port-Channel with Member's Port 1 and Port 2, uplink's green link.

  The interface port-channel on N7K show is good, each port-channel upwards and have all members. But the fabric Interconnnect, when I see in the UCS Manager, the status of the Port-Channel on Fabic A and fabric B dysfunction not more info: no operational Member. Although all the link is a link to the top and I've got the status of the Port Channel is enabled in the UCS Manager. When I see the properties Port 1, Port to Port-Channel 2, I see the number of members status is: individual. This means channel port is not up and no member in this configuration. I want to using the port-channel load balance and more bandwidth for the uplink of 20Gig. I don't understand why?

  Please help me solve this problem, I have to send the screenshot of UCS Manager when I show the status of the Port-Channel and Port-member in port-channel to reach items.

  Can someone help me solve this problem, thanks a lot. References, please include elements for more details on the fault.

• Fabric Port Channel

  Hello

  Once in production, when the addition of cables in a PortChannel from fabric between the IOM and a FI, first had to be re - ack frame? (so that we will have the chassis package downtime). Or rather, as is a Port-Channel cables are detected automatically, so that it is not necessary to re - ack, and so there is no downtime in all... one that is the correct statement?

• UCS - san-port-channel on vpc

  Hello

  I hope someone can help with this,

  I have a Setup with 2 Nexus of 5548 connected via a link of vpc peers and a keepalive, these two nexus switch have a link of standard VPC to a 6500 upstream. It works fine,

  Then, there are several native FC connections of the 5548 to of 6248. I know that there is the possibility to configure the channel port of CF on the UCS 2.0 but it is possible to link 5548 CF interfaces in a port channel san through a vpc between the nexus of 5548.

  so, for example, I can port-channel which follows through a vpc or is a channel of port san, limited to the same nexus only switch ports.

  Fc1/31 & fc1/32 fabric sent to-> NX5K - 1 Port fc1/31 & NX5K - 2 Port fc1/32 (san port-channel 10 on a VPC)

  Fabric B fc1/31 & fc1/32 passed to-> NX5K - 1 Port fc1/32 & NXFK - 2 Port fc1/31 (san port-channel 11 on a VPC)

  Thank you

  It is not possible. VPC is the only Layer 2 ethernet port channel. Port channel San cannot be built through vpc

• IPS Inline Mode Interface - you can use a port channel?

  Hello

  I am trying to determine if you have a 2-gig Layer 3 Port channel through a 4260 IPS appliance. See the attached diagram. Is this possible?

  The customer, I work with would prefer not to enter this cost equal to Port-Channel 1 gig of links (I don't think that there is a difference in performance...) However, I think that if they want the device inline, as the diagram shows - they will have to break the port-channel. Is this a correct assumption?

  Thank you

  Asymmetric traffic will prevent the sensor works best, he is capable. There is a configuration that can be done to allow the detector deployed in an asymmetrical environment, BUT it can affect the ability of the sensor to detect attacks, allows through evasions which would have been prevented and will not affect general performance of the sensor.

  If running in unbalanced mode should be avoided if possible. BT in cases where it cannot then the sensor always allows with degraded functionality.

  Traffic spikes above what the sensor can manipulate at will cause ignored packets. There is no help for too much traffic.

  The relief you talk I guess is the bypass function. The bypass feature does not affect during the subscription of the sensor. The bypass feature will only kick if the analytical engine crashes due to a bug.

• Setting port channel between UCS - FI and MDS 9124 (Mode F)

  Dear team,

  We tried to create the channel of port between UCS FI and MDS 9124

  But the port channel do not take action in mode F on MDS 9124

  FI is in host FC end Mode

  We have allowed FC uplink on FI trunking

  We have activated NPIV on MDS

  We have activated the MDS trunk

  FI and MDS in default VSAN

  To check that we have changed the way FI FC channels mode and switch port became active, but in E mode

  When we enabled CF trunking of uplink on the port mode FI channels and FC Switching became active in mode TE

  but in both cases above, showflogi database shows WWPN of SAN alone does not have the any fi.

  How to achieve this?

  Have read that no need to change the mode switching mode of CF swicthing and keep FC Endhost way

  SO how to channel ports with mode F MDS and FI (Display Mode as NProxy)

  What is it has nothing to do with the MDS NX - OS version? (https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2179129)

  If yes how to put as license for ports came with the camera and we don't have any CAP/PAK or license file as she came

  However, you will notice that the two ports Gigabit (1 channel Port on this switch) are ORANGE... which means BLOCKED... .and this has been verified when I ran see the spanning tree on this switch

  If it's supposed to happen?

  Yes, even if these links were green in your portchannel LACP always would play you a loop, for this purpose, he blocked because of the fact that you have more links (aggregate bandwidth) between other switches so it is allowing more transmission between.

• vPC and VSS port-channel uplinks

  Hello Forum team!

  Currently I have a configuration of a couple of Nexus 5548UP in a field of vPC with a couple of Nexus 2248TP aircraft in a double scenario hosted for the access layer (FEX in a vPC also). Core/distribution, there are a pair of 6509 cluster VSS. Now I configured a regular port-channel every 5K to the VSS functionality and works as expected. My question is this: given that in the vPC a 5K is the main and the other is secondary, a configurable vPC for the uplinks to the VSS instead of a channel of regular port of each 5 K?

  In addition, configurations must be replicated manually on both Nexus 5 K? I'm in denial about this. I'm used to how VSS works.

  Thanks to the advanced guys!

  Hello

  You can use a vPC of the pair of Nexus 5 K to the VSS cluster. There is a white paper Cisco Catalyst 6500 VSS and Cisco Nexus 7000 vPC of interoperability and best practices that will in this. While the white paper is for Nexus 7000 are you interested to do probably is the configuration shown in Figure 2 and so the scenario and considerations are the same.

  On the Nexus switches with vPC there are still two control i.e. plans, the primary and secondary that you mention. For all the configurations that should be applied at the primary and secondary, you can manually configure on the two switches or use the synchronization of Configuration characteristic Nexus (see Configuration synchronization Operations for more details).

  He was 15-months we have looked at the function so probably things have changed, but following issues with our tests, and we were see reported here in the forum at this time, we decided not to use the config Sync feature. Outside all bugs, there are some operational changes to consider and then make sure that you are comfortable with how config-sync works before putting it in a production environment.

• Internal NETWORK - no port channel (discovery of chassis policy)

  I noticed that I have a link connecting the preference of the group to put anything on my DISCOVERY of the chassis/fex policy

  then I noticed that the tab LAN subnet internal, there is no port selected channel.

  When I change the policy to 1 link and channel ports and reack chassis, I see 4 ports under the internal LAN port channel.

  Is it necessary to change the channel ports policy or can I just leave it to zero?

  What would be the difference?

  Best practice is to use the port-channel between IOM and FI; (This requires second-generation material for FI (62xx) and IOM (220 x)

  If your discovery strategy is set to 1 and you ack frame, it will automatically create a pc of 4 links.
