LAB Creating VDC & Its Attributes

Lab Task

  • N7K-1 is the default VDC, where N7K-3 and N7K-4 are non-default VDC
  • Nexus 7000 with the default VDC N7K-1 pre configured
  • Configure resource allocations for VDCs N7K-3 and N7K-4 mentioned in below table.
  • Configure resources for the VDC by using the resource template to perform the task.
  • Create and apply VDC resource templates as shown in this table below:

  • In Nexus Box make sure that these High Availability policies are applied to VDCs
    •    N7K-1: reset
    •    N7K-3: bring down
    •    N7K-4: bring down
  • Once VDC is configured, Initialize or configure the N7K-3 VDC from Default VDC with Mgmt Ip 10.10.10.10/24, Gateway 10.10.10.1

Solution:

N7K-1) # (From Default VDC)
N7K-1) # vdc resource template otv-template
N7K-1) # limit-resource vrf minimum 8 maximum 16
N7K-1) # limit-resource vlan minimum 16 max 32
N7K-1) # limit-resource port-channel minimum 0 max 32
!
N7K-1) # vdc resource template switch-template
N7K-1) # limit-resource vrf minimum 16 max 32
N7K-1) # limit-resource vlan minimum 16 max 129
N7K-1) # limit-resource port-channel minimum 32 maximum 64
!
N7K-1) # vdc N7K-1 id 1
N7K-1) # template otv-template
N7K-1) # ha-policy single-supervisor reset
N7K-1) # system hap-reset
N7K-1) # limit-resource module-type m1 m1x1 f1
N7K-1) # allocate interface e3/1-8
N7K-1) # allocate interface e4/1-16
!
N7K-1) # vdc N7K-3 id 3
N7K-1) # template switch-template
N7K-1) # ha-policy dual-supervisor bring down
N7K-1) # limit-resource module-type m1 m1x1 f1
N7K-1) # allocate-interface e3/17-24
N7K-1) # allocate-interface e4/17-24
!
N7K-1) # vdc N7K-4 id 4
N7K-1) # template switch-template
N7K-1) # ha-policy dual-supervisor bring down
N7K-1) # limit-resource module-type m1 m1x1 f1
N7K-1) # allocate-interface e3/25-32
N7K-1) # allocate-interface e4/25-32
