This is what I was seeing on the switches. I was seeing one switch link flap and err-disable every time at first, and now I'm not getting anything. I did a lot of "show interface transceiver" commands. It looked like 1 strand was good and 1 was bad in both directions, but I couldn't get a link. I put an old 3560 with the same SFP in one of the closets in the middle, and it could connect to the Arista and to the 3650.

Next, I brought the 3650 to that closet, wiped the config to make sure nothing was causing problems, configured a trunk, and I started not getting a link at all. However, a "show interface transceiver" looked great. I even plugged the 3650 directly to a 5k in that closet, and it was identical. I can't even get a connection to come up between the 3560 and the 5k (taking the 3650 completely out of the equation). I even tried some GLC-T SFPs between the 5k and the 3560, and still couldn't get a link. I wasn't using a crossover cable, but I would assume that the 5k can automatically.

If you have a Cisco UCS instance that has some chassis wired with 1 link, some with 2 links, and some with 4 links, we recommend that you configure the chassis discovery policy for the minimum number links in the instance so that Cisco UCS Manager can discover all chassis. After the initial discovery, you must reacknowledge the chassis that are wired for a greater number of links and Cisco UCS Manager configures the chassis to use all available links.

Cisco UCS Manager cannot discover any chassis that is wired for fewer links than are configured in the chassis discovery policy. For example, if the chassis discovery policy is configured for 4 links, Cisco UCS Manager cannot discover any chassis that is wired for 1 link or 2 links. Reacknowledgement of the chassis does not resolve this issue.

I've watched a Cisco video on installing DNAC and it shows enp10s0 being used as a cluster link but the presenter assigns 1.1.1.1/24 to the link with no gateway. In documentation it shows that for a single node the cluster link doesn't need to be connected which would make sense because at this time I have no other cluster members to communicate with.

Surely DNAC should push out the Enterprise interface IP as the syslog and snmp server address to use to reach DNAC? I thought since the cluster link is just needed for inter-DNAC comms then it doesn't need to be reachable and in the case of a single node cluster doesn't even need to be patched into the network.

The Assumption for Cluster link is that all the DNA Centers would be in same network , that is the reason the default GW might not be mentioned , Anyhow even in the standalone we recommend to have cluster link up as in future customers might move to three node cluster.

Also if its LAB then you can change the cluster link same as Enterprise link , as by default this port would be up so Enterprise ip should be pushed as SNMP or syslog server , But yes we need to investigate why cluster ip(non routable) was getting pushed instead of Enterprise ip which is routable in your network , probably better to open a TAC case.

I found a Cisco video that stepped through the install process. When it got to a page that asked for VIP addresses the presenter put in 3 addresses. One for each of the Cluster link, Enterprise and GUI links. These were in addition to the addresses configured on each interface and each interface address came from a different subnet.

I believe I may have gone wrong in my install by only assigning a cluster link VIP as 1.1.1.1. Would this perhaps be why it is the address shown in the GUI system settings area? If I had correctly assigned a VIP for the Enterprise link do you think this would have been shown in the system settings area and pushed out as the snmp and syslog server addresses?

I assigned the cluster link a 1.1.1.x address because the install guide suggested this link doesn't need connected in a single node install. I thought its addressing was irrelevant. However, in not applying an Enterprise link VIP have I forced the DNAC to use the only available VIP address which is the cluster link.

The FSPF protocol is enabled by default on all Cisco Fibre Channel switches. Normally you do not need to configure any FSPF parameters. FSPF automatically calculates the best path between any two switches in a fabric. It can also select an alternative path in the event of the failure of a given link. FSPF regulates traffic routing no matter how complex the fabric might be, including dual datacenter core-edge designs.

FSPF supports multipath routing and bases path status on a link state protocol called Shortest Path First. It runs on E ports or TE ports, providing a loop free topology. Routing happens hop by hop, based only on the destination domain ID. FSPF uses a topology database to keep track of the state of the links on all switches in the fabric and associates a cost with each link. It makes use of Dijkstra algorithm and guarantees a fast reconvergence time in case of a topology change. Every VSAN runs its own FSPF instance. By combining VSAN and FSPF technologies, traffic engineering can be achieved on a fabric. One use case would be to force traffic for a VSAN on a specific ISL. Also, the use of PortChannels instead of individual ISLs makes the implementation very efficient as fewer FSPF calculations are required.

FSPF protocol uses link costs to determine the shortest path in a fabric between a source switch and a destination switch. The protocol tracks the state of links on all switches in the fabric and associates a cost with each link in its database. Also, FSPF determines path cost by adding the costs of all the ISLs in each path. Finally, FSPF compares the cost of various paths and chooses the path with minimum cost. If multiple paths exist with the same minimum cost, FSPF distributes the load among them.

You can administratively set the cost associated with an ISL link as an integer value from 1 to 30000. However, this operation is not necessary and typically FSPF will use its own default mechanism for associating a cost to all links. This is specified within INCITS T11 FC-SW-8 standard. Essentially, the link cost is calculated based on the speed of the link times an administrative multiplier factor. By default, the value of this multiplier is S=1. Practically the link cost is inversely proportional to its bandwidth. Hence the default cost for 1 Gbps links is 1000, for 2 Gbps is 500, for 4 Gbps is 250, for 32 Gbps is 31 and so on.

It is easy to realize that high-speed links introduce some challenges because the link cost computes smaller and smaller. This becomes a significant issue when the total link bandwidth is over 128 Gbps. For these high-speed links, the default link costs become too similar to one another and so leading to inefficiencies.

The situation gets even worse for logical links. FSPF treats PortChannels as a single logical link between two switches. On Cisco MDS 9000 series, a PortChannel can have a maximum of 16 member links. With multiple physical links combined into a PortChannel, the aggregate bandwidth scales upward and the logical link cost reduces accordingly. Consequently, different paths may appear to have the same cost although they have a different member count and different bandwidths. Path inefficiencies may occur when PortChannels with as low as 9 x 16 Gbps members are present. This leads to poor path selection by FSPF. For example, imagine two alternative paths to same destination, one traversing a 9x16G PortChannel and one traversing a 10x16G PortChannel. Despite the two PortChannels have a different aggregate bandwidth, their link cost would compute to the same value.

To address the challenge, for now and the future, Cisco MDS NX-OS 9.3(1) release introduced the FSPF link cost multiplier feature. This new feature should be configured when parallel paths above the 128 Gbps threshold exist in a fabric. By doing so, FSPF can properly distinguish higher bandwidth links from one another and is able to select the best path.

All switches in a fabric must use the same FSPF link cost multiplier value. This way they all use the same basis for path cost calculations. This feature automatically distributes the configured FSPF link cost multiplier to all Cisco MDS switches in the fabric with Cisco NX-OS versions that support the feature. If any switches are present in the fabric that do not support the feature, then the configuration fails and is not applied to any switches. After all switches accept the new FSPF link cost multiplier value, a delay of 20 seconds occurs before being applied. This ensures that all switches apply the update simultaneously.

The new FSPF link cost multiplier value is S=20, as opposed to 1 in the traditional implementation. With a simple change to one parameter, Cisco implementation keeps using the same standard based formula as before. With the new value for this parameter, the FSPF link cost computation will stay optimal even for PortChannels with 16 members of up to 128 Gbps speed.

Link Aggregation is a nebulous term used to describe various implementations and underlying technologies. In general, link aggregation looks to combine (aggregate) multiple network connections in parallel to increase throughput and provide redundancy. While there are many approaches, this article aims to highlight the differences in terminology. 17dc91bb1f
