Introduction This document will cover how to configure Cisco Nexus 5000 series switches, and Cisco Nexus 2000 series Fabric Extender specifically Cisco Nexus 2232PP Fabric Extender based on two logical architecture lab designs shown in a later section. The purpose of this document is to highlight Cisco Ether Channel and Cisco Virtual Port Channel (vPC) features to easily interoperate with HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 Interconnect Module and HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric Interconnect Module. This document does not recommend or try to present by any way the general network best practice design architecture for any of HP or Cisco products including the products specifically used in this document. This document was produced based on the behaviour of different lab designs architecture utilizing the below mentioned hardware list of equipment in a test lab environment. It is totally up to the reader to change the architecture and the configuration as per the mentioned product support feature list and business need requirements. The terminologies and definitions of Cisco technologies are all based on Cisco definitions from the public information published in www.cisco.com. This document covers some of the Cisco Nexus 2000 series Fabric Extender definitions to familiarise the reader with Cisco terminologies that are used later in the lab. It does not cover how to add Cisco Nexus Fabric Extender 2000 series to its parent Cisco Nexus 5000 series switch. It assumes that you know how to add a Cisco Nexus 2000 Fabric Extender to its parent Cisco Nexus 5000 series switch in a Single Homed vPC Topology. The lab design architecture components used in this document are:

HP c7000 series Enclosure HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 Cisco Nexus 5020 switch Cisco Nexus 2232PP Fabric Extender

This Document will cover design scenario 1 and design scenario 3 in more details including Cisco NX-OS CLI configuration and verification commands. For more technical information about HP Virtual Connect please visit http://www.HP.com/go/VirtualConnect

Cisco Nexus Fabric Extenders 2000 series As described in Cisco Systems website, Cisco Nexus Fabric Extenders 2000 series integrates with its parent switch, Cisco Nexus 5000 series, to get its configuration from the settings of the parent switch. There is no software included in the Fabric Extenders 2000 series and it gets its operating system from its parent switch. Cisco Fabric Extenders 2000 series connect to its parent switch using a Fabric Interface. Fabric Interface is a 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink port designated for connection from the Fabric Extender to its parent switch. A fabric interface cannot be used for any other purpose. It must be directly connected to the parent switch. You can combine Fabric Interfaces together to form a logical bundle called EtherChannel Fabric Interface to communicate between Fabric Extenders 2000 series and its parent switch. End host or server connectivity should be connected to Cisco Nexus Fabric Extender 2000 series through a Host

Step 4. Configuring vPC EtherChannel Host Interface

! Create Po11 and add it to vPC 11 on Nexus 5020-1 and Nexus 5020-2


Nexus-5020-1(config-if)# description Connection to Enc1-Flex10-Bay1


Nexus-5020-1(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 101-109

Create EtherChannel 11

Nexus-5020-1(config-if)# spanning-tree port type edge trunk Consider the interface as edge port Nexus-5020-1(config-if)# vpc 11

Create vPC 11

Nexus-5020-1(config-if)# interface Ethernet100/1/1 Add Eth100/1/1 interface to Po11 Nexus-5020-1(config-if)# description Connection to Enc1-Flex10-Bay1 Nexus-5020-1(config-if)# lacp rate fast Enable LACP Fast Timeout Nexus-5020-1(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

Nexus-5020-2(config-if)# interface Ethernet101/1/1


Nexus-5020-2(config-if)# lacp rate fast





Configure Nexus 5020-2

! Create Po12 and add it to vPC 12 on Nexus 5020-1 and Nexus 5020-2





Create EtherChannel 12

Nexus-5020-1(config-if)# spanning-tree port type edge trunk Consider the interface as edge Port Nexus-5020-1(config-if)# vpc 12

Create vPC 12



Add Eth100/1/2 interface to Po12
