Webinar: Nexus 7700

Notes from this Webinar

The Fab2 and CB Fab2 are different modules. the Fab2 modules are not interchangeable between the N7k or the N7700. (The CB stand for Crossbow). This is to do with the architecture.

2200 FEX can be used with the N7700:
2248PQ
2232TM-E

NX-OS 6.2 introduces the ability to configure M1, M1-XL, M2, F2e modules in the same VDC
Fabric Path Anycast - multiple active L3 default gateways. L3 ECMP load balancing

Webinar: Cisco VIC Advantages

I'm going to start recording all my notes from Webinars which I attend, also with a link to the webinar recording. So here is my first:

Cisco VIC Advantages:

• VIC cards are managed by CIMC, the VIC it has extra copper pins on the board, so it can be managed via the CIMC without the server being powered on, unlike generic interfaces on other servers which require the server to be powered on and a keystroke hit.
•   FIP mode (Fibrechannel initialization mode) allows the port to do FCoE
• VNTAG mode = Adapter FEX mode / NIV Mode
• VIC firmware can be managed out of band on CMIC. It’s not reliant on the OS, it can be done out of band. Flash is actually on the adapter, 2 locations, 1 for the active and one for the backup firmware.
• This means firmware can be put on a adapter without affecting the operation, just put a new firmware in the backup flash location then change the firmware over to make it active later on.
• Firmware is loaded per card, so if there are 2 cards in the UCS server you need to upload the new firmware to each VIC
• Classical Ethernet mode is IEEE 10Gig Ethernet, it can be used to connect to any vendors 10 Gig switches
• vNICs can be swapped between the physical uplink ports. For example if a switch on uplink port 1 goes down the vNICs can be swapped over to port 
• Classic Ethernet mode the failover is manual
• Adapter FEX can be automatic
• VICs are only available in Cisco servers, the reason is because there is no option ROM, it can only be configured via CIMC
