I am familiar with the theory I was wondering If anyone had actually done this, and if there are any real world caveats.
I will be testing this week, however the kit is in Hong Kong, so it's a bit "remote handsy" -----Original Message----- From: Paul [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 18 January 2016 09:38 To: Nick Cutting; [email protected] Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Dell VLT to Cisco VSS VSS is single control plane so it's all one big chassis, the dell switch would have no idea it isn't connected to a single 6500 and should work without issues. VPC is dual control planes using mLAG which is still transparent to the LAG partner as long as the control protocol is standard (802.1ax w/ LACP for example) there *should* be no issues. stritcly talking about link aggregation here, whatever else you might be running is another story as with everything... test it first :) On 1/18/2016 3:12 AM, Nick Cutting wrote: > I'm told Dell VLT is very similar to Nexus VPC. > I plan to connect 2 Dell S4820T switches to a VSS'ed 6500 (QSFP+ > breakout cables) It would be similar to 2 nexus5/7k's connected to a VSS pair. > > Or am I a mad man, dancing with inter-vendor prop tech - and would be better > off with a normal LACP port channel to one 6500, for each switch? > > Does anyone have an field experience doing this? > > Thanks, > Nick > > _______________________________________________ > cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] > https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp > archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ > -- GloboTech Communications Phone: 1-514-907-0050 x 215 Toll Free: 1-(888)-GTCOMM1 Fax: 1-(514)-907-0750 [email protected] http://www.gtcomm.net _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
