Help with a heartbeat between C7000 chassis

[Scott Farrand]

Hmmm... so I'm confused... these plug into the VC modules, but appear to have their own interface (web and ssh...) but from what I can see, the only entries I see at all are related to NS...

(I'm very unfamiliar with this particular device...)

Hi Scott,
I was wondering if you are having any issues with this configuration?? I jsut noticed,

Add uplinkset VLAN-Trunk-A
add uplinkport enc0:0:X2 Uplinkset=VLAN-Trunk-A speed=auto
add uplinkport enc0:1:X2 Uplinkset=VLAN-Trunk-A speed=auto

Add uplinkset VLAN-Trunk-B
add uplinkport enc1:0:X2 Uplinkset=VLAN-Trunk-B speed=auto
add uplinkport enc1:1:X2 Uplinkset=VLAN-Trunk-B speed=auto

this seems to indicate that you are adding port

:: and :: to Uplinkset VLAN-Trunk-A

Question 1 is what is Bay 0???, Bays are numbered 1 - 8.
Second question is more of an observation. As a general rule, you should not add ports from different VC modules to the same Uplinkset.

Just an observation.

Dave.

That's part of why I was asking... I haven't actually tried that config... right now those links are live, but are an active/passive standby pair... I thought I used the right bay's, but perhaps it's supposed to be 1 and 2...

Thanks!

I've been told that I really need to wait for someone else's approval at this point.

Thanks for your help though! :)

ur objective is to have heartbeat connection between 2 c7000 right? for cluster w2k08, u doesn't need the heartbeat connection anymore.without it, ur cluster still can work without any issue

[Scott Farrand]

The cluster spans both enclosures, and it works great... until the switch both enclosures are connected to gets restarted for routine maintenance... The hope is to directly connect & stack the virtual connects in both enclosures...

(Also, as a side note, I discovered the hard way that using the "save supportinfo" command while SSH'd into a Flex-10 Virtual Connect prompt will interrupt communication)
