Re: [c-nsp] FabricPath on Nexus Switches

2017-01-23 Thread Pavel Skovajsa 
One interesting thing we ran into with FabricPath couple years ago is that
you have to forget about the notion of "set of special vlans just for this
switch" . In other words your list of vlans needs to be consistent and
always the same in whole FabricPath. This is due to the fact that by
default there is only one multidestination tree for broadcasts.

One of the beautiful side effects of this is that if misconfigured it WILL
work just fine, until the next power failure when you failover into a
multidestination tree that has one vlan missing. Good luck troubleshooting
that

For the rest of suggestions read Cisco FabricPath Best Practices Whitepaper

It's probably wise to start by identifying which range of Nexus switches 
you're talking about. 

Some are made with merchant silicon, some are made in house. As you can 
imagine, that does involve the supported features (and caveats) 
differing somewhat. :)

I hadn't realized at the time that these switches also support EVPN + VXLAN, 
which would at least be a more modern fit.

I've used TRILL-based protocols on other platforms before and it pretty much 
worked as expected. Any gotchas with Cisco's implementation? Is it much more 
complicated than setting it up, enabling it on particular interfaces and then 
plug and chug?
