VC Trunking to external LAN (Cisco)
I have a c7000 enclosure full of BL460c servers.
As interconnect switches, i have 2 VC-Enet with 8 uplink ports (1GB), and 2 VC-FC with 4 uplink ports (4GB).
For the LAN, I want to create 2 Vnet. each to bind all 8 ports of a VC-Enet to have a pipe of 8GB that all blade servers will talk communicate through to the external network.
the external network is a CISCO 3560 series catalyst switch.
Please advice what configuration is to be done from my Virtual Connect Manager as well as inside the cisco switch.
Thanks

Re: VC Trunking to external LAN (Cisco)
The spanning tree algorithm could take days to resolve loops and you network in the mean time will be down.
Another thing to consider is that cisco spanning tree protocol and trunking protocols are "non standard", VC support pure LACP that is different from cisco Etherchannel trunking mode.
I'll proceed with little steps, maybe starting with 2+2 trunks.

Re: VC Trunking to external LAN (Cisco)
I did similar configuration - 8 Gb trunk from VC to Nortel switches.
See this great document:
"HP Virtual Connect for the Cisco Network
Administrator"

Re: VC Trunking to external LAN (Cisco)
I have the same document as well. which sample configuration do you think meets what I want to achieve ?
Did you create shared uplink sets? what was ur configuration on the VC like?
thanks for your prompt response

Re: VC Trunking to external LAN (Cisco)
No, I didn't create shared uplink sets.
I just create VC network, add all 8 ports to this network and defined LACP on Nortel side.
And assign server profiles to this network.
