you can cable it any which way you prefer and any/all modules. there are no restrictions. our recommendation would be that for a single portchannel you DO use both X2 modules on the N7K, furthermore for a single N5K you use vPC from N7K to N5K such that it connects into both N7Ks. this way you could have single transceiver/port/module/switch failure and still not have traffic impacted. if you wish to make the connectivity an upside down U rather than cross-connect then you can do so - but if you had cheers, lincoln. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
