Layer 1. The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device periodically transmits UDLD frames to neighbor devices on LAN ports with UDLD enabled. If the frames are echoed back within a specific time frame and they lack a specific acknowledgment (echo), the link is flagged as unidirectional and the LAN port is shut down.

Page 130: C H A P T E R 5 Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection

• Asynchronous Mode Cisco NX-OS supports the BFD asynchronous mode, which sends BFD control packets between two adjacent devices to activate and maintain BFD neighbor sessions between the devices. You configure BFD on both devices (or BFD neighbors). Once BFD has been enabled on the interfaces and on the appropriate protocols, Cisco NX-OS creates a BFD session, negotiates BFD session parameters, and begins to send BFD control packets to each BFD neighbor at the negotiated interval.
Page 131: Distributed Operation

Router B Distributed Operation Cisco NX-OS can distribute the BFD operation to compatible modules that support BFD. This process offloads the CPU load for BFD packet processing to the individual modules that connect to the BFD neighbors. All BFD session traffic occurs on the module CPU. The module informs the supervisor when a BFD failure is detected.
Page 132: Security

S e n d d o c u m e n t c o m m e n t s t o n e x u s 7 k - d o c f e e d b a c k @ c i s c o . c o m Security Cisco NX-OS uses the packet Time to Live (TTL) value to verify that the BFD packets came from an adjacent BFD peer. For all asynchronous and echo request packets, the BFD neighbor sets the TTL value to 255 and the local BFD process verifies the TTL value as 255 before processing the incoming packet.
Page 133: Guidelines And Limitations

If you enable BFD at the router level (for example, from OSPF), any BFD sessions over a N7K-F132XL-15 linecard will not come-up. See the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 5.x for information about OSPF and other routing protocols.
Page 134: Default Settings

• HSRP for IPv4 is supported with BFD. HSRP for IPv6 is not supported with BFD. BFD packets generated by supported the Cisco NX-OS device linecards are sent with COS 6/DSCP • CS6. The DSCP/COS values for BFD packets are not user configurable.

“Configuring vPCs” section on page 7-30). The Cisco NX-OS software uses the lowest MAC address to elect the primary device. The software takes different actions on each device—that is, the primary and secondary—only in certain failover conditions. If the primary device fails, the secondary device becomes the new primary device when the system recovers, and the previously primary device is now the secondary device.
Page 212

(see Chapter 6, “Configuring Port Channels,” for information on load balancing). Configuration information flows across the vPC peer links using the Cisco Fabric Service over Ethernet (CFSoE) protocol. (See the “CFSoE” section on page 7-26 for more information about CFSoE.) All MAC addresses for those VLANs configured on both devices are synchronized between vPC peer devices.
Page 213: Peer-keepalive Link And Messages

If a vPC peer link fails, the system brings down associated VLAN interfaces on the secondary vPC peer device. Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 4.2(1), you can ensure that specified VLAN interfaces do not go down on the vPC secondary device when the vPC peer link fails.
Page 214: Vpc Peer-gateway

Peer-Gateway Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 4.2(1), you can configure vPC peer devices to act as the gateway even for packets that are destined to the vPC peer device’s MAC address.

Such devices may reply to traffic using the MAC address of the sender Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device rather than the common HSRP gateway. Such behavior is non-complaint with some basic Ethernet RFC standards.

For the best resiliency scenario, use at least two modules. Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 4.2, if you must configure all the vPC peer links and core-facing interfaces on a single module, you should configure, using the command line interface, a track object and a track list that is associated with the Layer 3 link to the core and on all vPC peer links on both vPC peer devices.

When you are configuring custom MAC addresses, you must configure the same MAC address on both vPC peer devices. Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 4.2(1), you can configure a restore timer that will delay the vPC coming back up until after the peer adjacency forms and the VLAN interfaces are back up. This feature avoids packet drops when the routing tables may not be converged before the vPC is once again passing traffic.
Page 229: Vpc Recovery After An Outage

Recovery After an Outage In a data center outage, both of the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series devices that comprise a vPC get reloaded. Occasionally only one of the peers can be restored. With no functioning peer-keepalive or peer link, the vPC cannot function normally, but depending on your Cisco NX-OS release, a method may be available to allow vPC services using only the local ports of the functional peer.
Page 230: High Availability

If at timer expiration no peer-keepalive or peer link up packets were received, the Cisco NX-OS software assumes the primary STP role and the primary LACP role. The software reinitializes the vPCs, bringing up its local ports.

Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance. Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 4.2, you can configure a tunnel interface as a member of a Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance and as a member of any VDC. By default, Cisco NX-OS places you in the default VDC and default VRF unless you specifically configure another VDC and VRF.
