In order to simulate the production environment in test, one Nexus was dedicated to the Server Farm Access tier. At the time of writing this document switches such as the Nexus , Nexus and Nexus do not support multiple VDCs.
Technical Overview of Virtual Device Contexts. Examples from the configuration guide include the following:. These caveats have implications for data centre designs. Storage VDC. Admin VDC.

Once the initial line card learned the MAC it will forward its table to all other line cards that are part of the same VDC. Cisco provides good flow logic for MAC address learning represented in Figure 5. Same as with Layer 2 MAC addresses each line card is in control of max amount of entries they can hold.
This enables each line card to have all the information stored locally for fast forwarding. Topic becomes interesting as soon as you start resource splitting. This becomes extremely important when you get into traffic engineering and designing purpose for all of your modules. To check the resource allocation, you will need to login into your admin VDC and verify configuration for each VDC context.
This is catastrophic so make sure you know your Port-Groups for your line cards! This is something that needs to be considered during design phase prior proceeding with the BOM.
Please see chart below on which modules play nice with each other. You can also follow my post on allocating port-groups to find out more. Bart is passionate about new technologies and their impact on our lives.
He does not believe in titles or amount of certifications but positive attitude and motivation. Save Digg Del. This logical separation provides the following benefits:. With this functionalit, each administrator can define virtual routing and forwarding instance VRF names and VLAN IDs independent of those used in other VDCs safely with the knowledge that VDCs maintain their own unique software processes, configuration, and data-plane forwarding tables. Each VDC also maintains an individual high-availability HA policy that defines the action that the system will take when a failure occurs within a VDC.
Depending on the hardware configuration of the system, there are various actions that can be performed. In a single supervisor system, the VDC can be shut down, restarted, or the supervisor can be reloaded. In a redundant supervisor configuration, the VDC can be shut down, restarted, or a supervisor switchover can be initiated.
Figure shows the logical segmentation with VDCs on the Nexus A common use case is horizontal consolidation to reduce the quantity of physical switches at the data center aggregation layer. Depending on the Ethernet modules installed in the switch, interface allocation is supported as follows:. For example, port-group 1 are interfaces e1, e3, e5, e7; port-group 2 are interfaces e2, e4, e6, e8.
It is not possible to virtualize a physical interface and associate the resulting logical interfaces to different VDCs. A supported configuration is to virtualize a physical interface and associate the resulting logical interfaces with different VRFs or VLANs. By default, all physical ports belong to the default VDC. To verify the interfaces allocation, enter the show vdc membership command as demonstrated in Example Configuring these values prevents a single VDC from monopolizing system resources.
Example demonstrates how to accomplish this. I would like to receive exclusive offers and hear about products from Cisco Press and its family of brands. I can unsubscribe at any time.
