Nexus vPC | Configuration on Real Cisco Nexus Switches
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- 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

One of the best vPC explanation, Great....Waiting for more videos or interested to join your class
Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback and I am glad our video has been able to help you. Cheers
Thank you the videos offers a good and clear description and configuration of key aspects of the NXO Cisco Family. Merci
Thanks, glad you liked itt
Wonderful explanation with all important concepts and scenarios in short video
Excellent refresher... been a few years since I did vPCs
Thanks!
nice presentation and with very straight forward in narration, without any confusion guidelines.
So happy to find you❤️
So happy you're here!
You describe very well in videos
Thanks for such stuff.
Very nice, and simple way to understand VPC... much appreciated.
I’m really glad you liked it!
Great video but you should have continued to the end to show member ports are connected and the vpc and port channel are up
번역 기능이 있어 좋다 너무 훌륭한 강의다
Very simple and to the point cofnig of vPC with simple topology. Excellent Video and presentation.
I'm glad you like it, thanks!
Excellent Explanation Way....
Thanks!
Awesome and thanks. Vpc now preety clear for me...
Excellent! Simple and precise!!
Thanks!
Perfecto!! helped a lot to configure my nexus setup... Thank you so much buddy!!
You're welcome Hrid! Glad to help
Clean and precise. Good job.
Thanks Tim, really glad you liked it!
Fantastic explanation. Thnx a lot
Glad you liked it 😎
Such an excellent explanation 🥳🥳
Thanks! I just realised how bad I sounded in these early videos 😬
awesome video. Thanks for your hard work
You're very welcoem
This along with your how VPC works video is an AWESOME introduction into the technology and the config. Is there more information on member ports and how they should be setup? For example, a windows server with Dual NIC?
Thank you for this video.
very simple and effective good job
Great explanation and easy to understand.
Excellent video
Good explanation, got everything. Thanks
Thanks this helped me configure my vpc
Full of Useful content.
Excellent! keep em coming!

Thank you!
great video , thank you so much
Thank you very much, the tutorial is very helpful for me
It's good to hear that it was helpful!
fantastic!
Love iT!!!!!
Thanks!
Great video!!!
Thanks
Thank you very very much :)
Thanq.............
good one
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?
This tells spanning-tree that there's another switch at the other end of the link, so it should look for BPDUs
COOOL!! muchas gracias!!!
Mate, you deserved more views and appreciation. Please find a way to promote your channel.... Thank you.
I would love to promote the channel, but it's expensive...
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.
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
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/Z-DJwOUzSzo/видео.html
You are awesome!
I don't know if I'd go that far, but I appreciate it 🙂
Great Awesome !!!
great!
Nice config overview. If you don't mind sharing - how did you configure Putty to highlight the syntax output? This would be helpful when configuring multiple groups of vPC peers!
+Bruce Wilson
That's a Nexus feature. Use 'terminal colour [persist]' to enable.
I wish it were on ASA as well
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/Z-DJwOUzSzo/видео.html
if you have Nexus 9300 4 of them and runing BGP evpn vxlan with VPC should you be runing VPC Routing or not
Great video. Quick question. If my member ports are connecting another switch in trunk mode. How does Vlaning work? Do I have to allow every vlan on my domain on my port-channel and also allow those vlans on the VPC peers?

thank you
You're welcome!
Great!
Thanks!
Superbbbbbbbbb
Well done

Thanks for the feedback. ASA multi mode coming soon if you're interested
Thanks for the video. Would it be too much trouble to explain how did you configure your putty to display different console colors and text colors?
That's not putty unfortunately. That's config within the Nexus
nice, man~~~
You're welcome
Good stuff man, keep up the great work!. Question: what tool do you use for animation?
Depending on the video, I use some combination of PowerPoint (2d), fusion (3D), and shotcut (timeline)
Thanks!@@NetworkDirection
You're welcome!
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 ??
I always try to match them, but no, they don’t need to be the same
Between the mgmt 0, is it a straight cable or crossover cable?
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 :)
Makes sense. The N3K’s are a little different to the other Nexus.
I think straight through would be the way to go
Network Direction I’ve been able to make it work today as your tutorial without any issues! I’m waiting for two x 40Gbp/s cable to have more output :) instead of two x 10Gbp/s. 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! 👍🏻
@@CapitaineWEB-FR This is fantastic news! Well done!
Thank you for the video. I tried to ping from switch 1 to the next one using mgmt 0 ip, but it didn't ping. I dont't understand why.
Did you use the management VRF when pinging?
Can i somehow do it over not mgmt port? Like, how can i use port 47 and 48 for hartbeat? Do i need to create separate vrf?
you sure can!
I'm just wondering what 7 clowns didn't like this video. Great job!!!
one's who don't like Cisco maybe?
Thanks
what is the expected downtime on a failover scenario?
do we need to give switchport command on interface Po15?
Does the peer-link have to be in the same VRF as member ports?
The peer-link is layer-2, just as the member ports would be. So, they're not in a VRF.
How did you get putty to display diff colors like that ?
Smoke and mirrors!
Have a look here: ruclips.net/video/Z-DJwOUzSzo/видео.html
Yeah I sniffed that out in the comment section, thank you. Wish there was a way to set on your console locally for any HW platform inside the Cisco realm, I really dig it. Great Video thought.
@@NetworkDirection Video is not available =(
You're right, the URL changed. I have updated it
What happens if I don't put VPC 10 in the portchannel?
hi i have a problem if i do this VPC on my current config of vxlan my VXlan stops working ??????????!!!!!!!!!!help please
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.
i have one doubt. Can i manage second switch or config the second switch from active switch. Like VSS????
The two switches are managed separately as far as vPC is concerned. They don't share a control plane as in VSS
can't run feature lacp :(
Hello Mr Network, Wanted to check with you - are you using real Nexus 9000 or Nexus 9000v - I have tried to configure vPC on Nexus 9000v on 7.0.3.I5.2 but the lacp leg for the southbound device doesn't come up
This is on a real 93180. I haven't tried it in VIRL on the 9000v yet
awesome thanks for gr8 work! please keep it up!
Will do! I'm currently working on my CCDP. After I'm done with that I'm planning to do a video on how vPC works 'under the hood'.
Interested?
I think it will work in CML now too, not that I've tried
Ты что за лев брат! I have all the production network in my company down because of your video!!!! They are firing me now!!!
I hope that's a joke 😬
@@NetworkDirection kidding about firing part. When I typed no shutdown on port-channel 15, that's where the loop happened. All production network down for 30 minutes 😂
@@Keepkip Well, I'm glad you haven't been fired!
excellent
