Enable protected mode on the AMM, then 'platform chassis-management
protected-mode' on your switch. The switch will require a reload and sever
the fastethernet management ports automatically.

We use DCNM for real-time monitoring here (e.g. we use it to
troubleshoot issues as they arise) - works great for this purpose,
though in my opinion the configuration interface is a little
over-complicated compared to just using the CLI, which is a bad sign. :)
The XML interface is very, very
These things are heavy - I know from experience. Get a mechanical lift
or be prepared with 4-6 people to lift. I did not have a lift, and we
got it installed safely, but in retrospect, I should have rented the lift.

Hi Folks,
Nick,
The primary benefit to these things, AFAIK, is the ACE integration for load
balancing. I'm pretty sure there are other options (mostly software)
available to do the same DNS load balancing without ACE's, but - ACE's are
a great way to add redundancy to a site, and GSS+ACE can handle load

I'm not talking huge Carrier Ethernet deployments, more like enterprise

Hello David,
This is entirely my personal opinion and I'm sure some folks in the Nexus
BU at Cisco would hit me for saying this given the chance.
Unless you are using legacy FC devices, hold off on the 5K for this. The
reason I say this is because a new class of storage devices and HBA's that

To chime in a little bit here on the bleeding edge comments - we jumped
on the Nexus 7K pretty early on (shortly after GA), as we would
otherwise have spent about as much investing in new 6500's, our budget
wasn't going to allow for replacing equipment for at least 5 years, and
we were jumping

Hi Chris,
I strongly suggest if you want to keep a simple mode of operation you
use a feature on these things that configures them independently of the
Bladecenter Advanced Management Module.
It's hard to find in the docs, but, what you want is "platform
chassis-management protected-mode". T
As far as I can remember you can't use VPN or do IPSEC in multiple context
mode and you have many, many restrictions in transparent mode (e.g. admin
VPN only). Silly, isn't it? :)
(I know you can't do VPN but I think this also applies to IPSEC. Someone
can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

I don't know if this is possible for you to do or not, but have you
considered using static assignments for MAC<->Port mappings (e.g.
specify a mac address instead of sticky)?
I only use port security on an N7K at the moment, and we had to use
static mappings due to an outstanding bug related

You should really shop by feature set. Advanced Enterprise IOS

you should only license the features you need.
Expanding DRAM and Flash beyond what is required for the image you

As far as I am aware (from years of working at ISP's), neither will a
