Техническая Инструкция для Cisco Cisco Nexus 5010 Switch

This feature allows a Nexus 5500 switch to manage virtual interfaces (both Ethernet virtual Network Interface
Controllers (vNICs) and Fibre Channel Virtual Host Bus Adapters (FC vHBAs)) on the server's VIC. This is
independent from any hypervisor that runs on the server. Whatever virtual interfaces are created will be
visible to the main Operating System (OS) installed on the server (provided that the OS has the appropriate
drivers).

Supported platforms can be found in this section of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series NX−OS Adapter FEX
Operations Guide, Release 5.1(3)N1(1).

Supported topologies for Adapter−FEX can be found in this section of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series NX−OS
Adapter FEX Operations Guide, Release 5.1(3)N1(1).

The supported topologies are:

Server single−homed to a Nexus 5500 switch

• 

Server single−homed to a Straight−Through FEX

• 

Server singled−homed to an Active/Active FEX

• 

Server dual−homed via Active/Standby uplinks to a pair of Nexus 5500 switches

• 

Server dual−homed via Active/Standby uplinks to a pair of Virtual Port Channel (vPC) Active/Active
FEXs

• 

The subsequent configuration section discusses 'Server dual−homed via Active/Standby uplinks to a pair of
Nexus 5500 switches' which is depicted here:

Each vNIC will have a corresponding virtual Ethernet interface on the Nexus 5000. Similarly each vHBA will
have a corresponding Virtual Fibre Channel (VFC) interface on the Nexus 5000.
