Overview
Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller is the comprehensive management solution for all NX-OS deployments spanning LAN Fabric, SAN, and IP Fabric for Media (IPFM) networks in data centers powered by Cisco. Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller also supports other devices, such as IOS-XE switches, IOS-XR routers, and non-Cisco devices. Being a multi-fabric controller, Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller manages multiple deployment models like VXLAN EVPN, Classic 3-Tier, and Routed based fabrics for LAN while providing ready-to-use control, management, monitoring, and automation capabilities for all these environments. In addition, Cisco NDFC when enabled as a SAN Controller, automates Cisco MDS Switches and Cisco Nexus Family infrastructure in NX-OS mode.
This document describes the features, bugs, and limitations for Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller software. For more information about this product, see Related Content.
Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller primarily focuses on Control and Management for three primary market segments:
● LAN networking including VXLAN, Multi-site, Classic Ethernet, and External Fabrics supporting Cisco Nexus switches running standalone NX-OS, with additional support for IOS-XR, IOS-XE, and adjacent Host, Compute, Virtual Machine, and Container Management systems.
● SAN networking for Cisco MDS and Cisco Nexus switches running standalone NX-OS, including support for integration with storage arrays and additionally Host, Compute, Virtual Machine, and Container Management systems.
● Media Control for Multicast Video production networks running Cisco Nexus switches operated as standalone NX-OS, with additional integrations for 3rd party media control systems.
Previously, DCNM was an application server running on a VM deployed via OVA or ISO, a physical appliance deployed via ISO, or software installed on a qualified Windows or Linux machine. Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller, Release 12 is available as an application running exclusively on top of the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Virtual or Physical Appliance.
Virtual Nexus Dashboard deployment with OVA is also referred to as virtual Nexus Dashboard (vND) deployment, while the deployment of Nexus Dashboarda on physical appliance (Service Engine) is known as physical Nexus Dashboard (pND) deployment. To deploy Nexus Dashboard based on your requirement, refer to Cisco Nexus Dashboard Deployment Guide.
Beginning with Release 12, Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller has a single installation mode. Post-installation, it supports selection from multiple personas at run-time. After the Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller Release 12.0.2f is installed, you can choose from one of the following personas:
● Fabric Discovery—Discover, Monitor, and Visualize LAN Deployments.
● Fabric Controller—LAN Controller for Classic Ethernet (vPC), Routed, VXLAN, and IP Fabric for Media Deployments.
● SAN Controller—SAN Controller for MDS and Nexus switches. Enhanced SAN Analytics with streaming telemetry.
All features/services are modularized, broken into smaller microservices, and the required microservices are orchestrated based on the feature set or feature selections. Therefore, if any feature or microservice is down, only that microservice is restarted and recovered, resulting in minimal disruption.
In contrast to the previous DCNM Active-Standby HA model, Cisco NDFC introduces Active-Active HA deployment model utilizing all three nodes for deploying microservices. This has significant improvement in both latency and effective resource utilization.
Note: For NDFC to run on top of the virtual Nexus Dashboard (vND) instance, you must enable promiscuous mode on port groups associated with Nexus Dashboard interfaces where External Service IP addresses are specified. vND comprises of Nexus Dashboard management interface and data interface. By default, for LAN deployments, 2 external service IP addresses are required for the Nexus Dashboard management interface subnet. Therefore, you must enable promiscuous mode for the associated port-group. If inband management or EPL is enabled, you must specify External Service IP addresses in the Nexus Dashboard data interface subnet. The promiscuous mode also needs to be enabled for the Nexus Dashboard data/fabric interface port-group. For NDFC SAN Controller, promiscuous mode only needs to be enabled on the Nexus Dashboard data interface associated port-group. For more information, refer to Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller Deployment Guide.

Published Release Notes for Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller Release 12.0.2f. |
Deployment Options
The following deployment options are available for Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller:
● NDFC on Single node (non-HA Cluster)
On Single node Nexus Dashboard, you can deploy NDFC with the following personas:
◦ SAN Controller with SAN Insights
◦ Fabric Controller for IP Fabric for Media (IPFM) deployments
◦ Fabric Controller for lab/non-production environments (<= 25 switches)
● NDFC on a 3-node Cluster (Active-Active HA mode)
On 3-Node Nexus Dashboard, you can deploy NDFC with the following personas:
◦ Fabric Discovery
◦ Fabric Controller
◦ SAN Controller with or without SAN Insights
Note: For NDFC deployments, the Nexus Dashboard node should have a different subnet on the management interface and the data/fabric interface. In addition, in a 3-node Nexus Dashboard cluster, all Nexus Dashboard nodes should be layer-2 adjacent. In other words, the 3 Nexus Dashboard nodes must all belong to the same management and data networks respectively.
In summary, Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller is not supported on Nexus Dashboard nodes that are deployed with management and data networks using overlapping subnets.
● NDFC on a 5-node vND Cluster (Active-Active HA mode)
From Release 12.0.2f, on 5-Node Nexus Dashboard, you can deploy NDFC with the following personas:
◦ Fabric Discovery
◦ Fabric Controller
In the 3-node and 5-node deployment, there are 3 Nexus Dashboard master nodes. In the 5-node deployment, the additional 2 nodes serve as worker nodes. The 3-node or 5-node cluster deployment is an active-active solution, that is, all nodes are utilized to run micro-services of Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller. When a node fails, microservices running on the node, are moved to the other nodes. Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller will perform normally under one node failure scenarios. However, it is expected that there will be a brief disruption to services that must be migrated on node failure. After the migration of services is complete, the supported scale will continue to function albeit at degraded performance. To restore optimal NDFC performance, a system running with one failed node is not the desired situation and must be rectified at the earliest. A 3-node or 5-node cluster cannot tolerate failure of two nodes and all NDFC services will be disrupted.
Note: Nexus Dashboard cluster federation is not supported with Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller.
For virtual Nexus Dashboard OVA deployments on ESXi environments, it is imperative that promiscuous mode is enabled on the port groups associated with Nexus Dashboard management and Nexus Dashboard data/fabric interfaces. Otherwise, some of the functionality such as SNMP trap, Image management, Endpoint Locator, SAN Insights, and so on will not work.
Note that Cisco NDFC Release 12.0.1a and Release 12.0.2f cannot be cohosted with Nexus Dashboard Insights on Nexus Dashboard.

Nexus Dashboard Networks
When first configuring Nexus Dashboard, on every node, you must provide two IP addresses for the two Nexus Dashboard interfaces—one connected to the Data Network and the other to the Management Network. The data network is typically used for the nodes' clustering and north-south connectivity to the physical network. The management network typically connects to the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Web UI, CLI, or API.
For enabling the Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller, the Management and Data Interfaces on a Nexus Dashboard node must be in different subnets. The interfaces between different nodes that belong to the same Nexus Dashboard cluster, must be within the same Layer-2 Network and Layer-3 subnet.
Connectivity between the Nexus Dashboard nodes is required on both networks with the round trip time (RTT) not exceeding 50ms. Other applications running on the same Nexus Dashboard cluster may have lower RTT requirements and you must always use the lowest RTT requirement when deploying multiple applications in the same Nexus Dashboard cluster. Refer to the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Deployment Guide for more information.
The following table provides information about network requirements for NDFC on Nexus Dashboard.
| Management Interface |

Virtual Nexus Dashboard (vND) Prerequisites
For virtual Nexus Dashboard deployments, each vND node has 2 interfaces or vNICs. The Data vNIC maps to bond0 (also known as bond0br) interface and Management vNIC maps to bond1 (also known as bond1br) interface. The requirement is to enable/accept promiscuous mode on the port groups associated with the Nexus Dashboard Management and/or Data vNICs where IP stickiness is required. The Persistent IP addresses are given to the pods (e.g., SNMP Trap/Syslog receiver, Endpoint Locator instance per Fabric, SAN Insights receiver, etc.). Every POD in Kubernetes can have multiple virtual interfaces. Specifically for IP stickiness, an extra virtual interface is associated with the POD that is allocated an appropriate free IP from the external service IP pool. The vNIC has its own unique MAC address that is different from the MAC addresses associated with the vND virtual vNICs. Moreover, all North-to-South communication to and from these PODs go out of the same bond interface. By default, the VMware ESXi systems check if the traffic flows out of a particular VM vNIC that matches the Source-MAC associated with that vNIC. In the case of NDFC pods with an external service IP, the traffic flows are sourced with the Persistent IP addresses of the given PODs that map to the individual POD MAC associated with the virtual POD interface. Therefore, we need to enable the required settings on the VMware side to allow this traffic to flow seamlessly in and out of the vND node.
For more information, refer to Cisco Nexus Dashboard Deployment Guide.
