Inherited a pair of 5Ks, after some advice as to deployment configuration, perhaps I am missing something as to why setup is as it is:
- VPC keepalive is configured to be the mgmt IPs of each of the VPC peers. The mgmt IPs are attached to interface mgmt0 which are both plugged in to one of the peers. Would it not be better practice to do the following:
-
Configure two interfaces on each 5K into port channel, assign IP to the port channel interface, and use this as the peer keepalive address.
-
Connect the interfaces to switches that are not part of the VPC.
- It appears that the VPC link between the two switches carries traffic from all networks, and is the only port channel between the two switches in the stack. Is this correct? From my understanding of the documentation, the recommendation would be to only allow VLANs for which vPC is configured to pass the vPC link, and have a separate port channel to carry all other vlans in the deployment.
Thanks in advance.
