8.3 Connecting to a Cisco Nexus Datacenter Network
Figure 12 below demonstrates an example with Cisco Nexus 5548 switches. The Dell Networking S4810
switches in the Active System 1000 have a 4-port LAG/Port Channel linking into the two Cisco Nexus
switches. The number of links is flexible and can be changed according to use cases. Also in this
example, four ports were used for the vPC “Peer Link”. The vPC Peer Link will be sharing VLAN traffic
from the vPC uplinks, so they should be planned in an appropriate manner to avoid oversubscription.
The “Peer Keep-Alive” link is suggested to be configured to utilize the management port (this is the
default) and will send little layer 3 traffic between the switches.
The two Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches are configured with vPC and a high availability aggregation
pair.
