Nexus vPC | Configuration on Real Cisco Nexus Switches

In this video, we configure vPC on real Cisco Nexus 9000 switches.
Starting with the basics, and moving through to a deep dive, this real lab shows how Network Engineers can configure peer-link, keep alive link, member ports, orphan ports, and peer gateway.
Useful for CCNA Data Center, CCNP Data Center, and CCIE Data Center.
Part 1: How vPC Works - vPC adds redundancy to the data centre, while avoiding the older technologies like spanning-tree. See how it fits into your solution, and parts under the hood
• Nexus vPC | How vPC works
Part 2: vPC Configuration - Now you know how vPC works, you can start configuring. See how it's done by watching live config on real Nexus switches
• Nexus vPC | Configurat...
Part 3: Routing over vPC - Be careful! There are pitfalls when running routing protocols over vPC! I fell into one of these myself. See how you can avoid this

thank you for sharing, would you please comment what does the command " spanning-tree port type network" in the port-channel for vpc peer-link?

@NetworkDirection 2 жыл бұрын

This tells spanning-tree that there's another switch at the other end of the link, so it should look for BPDUs

Great video, nice and simple, just how I like it :-) Just a side note - How did you get the different colours in Putty? I've been trying to figure this out.

@NetworkDirection 7 жыл бұрын

The syntax colouring comes from the Nexus switch. Enable it with the 'terminal color' or 'terminal color persist' command. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to do this on other devices like ASA's or IOS routers

Should the meber ports be same on both the switches and the ports used in Peer link, Like if we have used Eth1/53 and 54 in Sw1, DO we need to add Eth1/53 and 54 only on the second switch or any other port will work, I can bundle 1/37-38 ??

@FabricioSolano 5 жыл бұрын

Does the peer-link have to be in the same VRF as member ports?

@NetworkDirection 5 жыл бұрын

The peer-link is layer-2, just as the member ports would be. So, they're not in a VRF.

The two switches are managed separately as far as vPC is concerned. They don't share a control plane as in VSS

@NetworkDirection 5 жыл бұрын

In VXLAN you have loopback interfaces for BGP peering. When you add vPC, you need to make sure that you have a secondary IP on those loopbacks. The IP needs to be the same on both switches. I haven't done a video on VXLAN with vPC. May it's a good time to look into it.

Between the mgmt 0, is it a straight cable or crossover cable?

@NetworkDirection 5 жыл бұрын

They are SFP ports, so just twinax or fibre would be fine You could use the RJ45 SFP I guess, in which case I assume straight through would be ok, and auto-mdix would fix it up if there's a problem. I honestly don't remember the last time I needed to use a cross-over...

Network Direction On our Cisco Nexus 3064-X, both management back port are Ethernet. That’s why I ask for the cable type :)

@NetworkDirection 5 жыл бұрын

Makes sense. The N3K’s are a little different to the other Nexus. I think straight through would be the way to go

Also would like to move the keep-alive away from the mgmt 0. Straight cable is working for the mgmt 0 setup. Thank you very much for your videos and help! 👍🏻
