Encapsulated Remote Switched Port Analyzer (ERSPAN) is a technique to mirror traffic over L3 network. Traffic will be encapsulated at the source end and then decapsulated at the destination end. In this lesson, we will learn to configure ERSPAN in Nexus switches. I will present a sample configuration based on…
continue reading → Today we will learn Best Practices for VPC on Cisco Nexus switches. Before going in deep, you should understand, what is vPC? Virtual Port-Channel (vPC) is a technology that allows links to be physically connected with two different devices to appear as a single port channel to a third device.…
continue reading → Policy Based Routing or PBR is a feature to manipulate routing and forwarding based on policies, set by the network administrator. In this lesson, we will learn to configure PBR in Cisco Nexus switches. Lab Diagram: Goal of the Lab: Create PBR for source PC-02 (192.168.1.11) Deny PBR for PC-02…
continue reading → vPC failure scenarios are sometimes destructive. However, if you have good understanding on vPC and you follow Cisco recommended vPC design, then you can handle Virtual Port Channel (vPC) failure scenarios with confidence. In this lesson, i will be discussing different vPC Failure Scenarios, it's impact on the network and…
continue reading → Virtual port channel (vPC) typically used for providing active-active connection from switch to end-point devices. However, due to it provide loop free design, we can configure one vPC domain on aggregation switches to other vPC domain on access switches while it providing more bandwidth for access switches to aggregation switches.…
