•If the PID displayed is N1K-C1010 on Cisco Nexus 1010 or N1K-C1010-X on Cisco Nexus 1010-X, you can proceed with the install or upgrade to Cisco Nexus 1010 Release 4.2(1)SP1(4a).

•If the PID displayed is not N1K-C1010 on Cisco Nexus 1010 or N1K-C1010-X on Cisco Nexus 1010-X, do not install or upgrade to Release 4.2(1)SP1(4a). Instead you must replace the Cisco Nexus 1010 using the RMA process.

Gathering Information About the Management Software

Before you begin the installation, you will need the following information for your Cisco Nexus 1010 or Cisco Nexus 1010-X:

•Administrator Credentials

•HA Redundancy Role

•HA Redundancy States

•Domain ID

•Network Uplinks

•VLANs

Administrator Credentials

When you set up the system software, you are required to create an administrator password. Table 2-1 lists password strength guidelines:

Table 2-1 Guidelines for strong passwords

Strong passwords have:

Strong passwords do NOT have:

•At least eight characters

•Uppercase letters

•Lowercase letters

•Numbers

•Special characters

•Consecutive characters, such as "abcd"

•Repeating characters, such as "aaabbb"

•Dictionary words

•Proper names

HA Redundancy Role

The Cisco Nexus 1010 product family is provided in redundant pairs for high availability. When setting up the device, you configure a high availability role—primary or secondary. Table 2-2 describes these roles.

Note The HA standalone role is not supported for the Cisco Nexus 1010 product family. Cisco Nexus 1010 is not supported in a non HA mode.

Table 2-2 HA Redundancy Roles

Role

Description

Primary

•The primary role coordinates the active/standby redundancy state with the secondary Cisco Nexus 1010.

•The primary role takes precedence during bootup when negotiating active/standby redundancy state. That is, if the secondary Cisco Nexus 1010 is not in the active state at bootup, the primary Cisco Nexus 1010 takes the active redundancy state.

•You assign the primary role to the first Cisco Nexus 1010 that you install in a dual system.

Secondary

•The secondary role coordinates the active/standby state with the primary Cisco Nexus 1010.

•You assign the secondary role to the second Cisco Nexus 1010 that you install in a dual system.

HA Redundancy States

Table 2-3 describes the HA redundancy states.

Table 2-3 HA Redundancy States

Redundancy State

Description

Active

Controls the system and is visible to the outside world.

The active system is remotely accessed through the network after initial setup.

The user interface for managing the Cisco Nexus 1010 is only available through the active system.

Standby

Synchronizes its configuration with that of the active Cisco Nexus 1010 so that it is continuously ready to take over in case of a failure or manual switchover.

You cannot use Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) protocols to communicate with the standby Cisco Nexus 1010.

The standby Cisco Nexus 1010 is not network addressable and is accessed through the serial port.

The user interface for managing the Cisco Nexus 1010 is not available through the standby system.

Domain ID

The primary and secondary Cisco Nexus 1010s use the domain ID to identify each other. The Cisco Nexus 1010s must be in the same switching domain, and share the same management IP address.

Network Uplinks

Cisco Nexus 1010 product family supports two types of network uplink configurations to connect to the network.

•Flexible Network Uplink: Flexible network configuration offers complete flexibility to connect the Cisco Nexus 1010 product family to the network and allows you to achieve a maximum of six uplinks.

•Static Network Uplink :In a static network configuration, the Cisco Nexus 1010 product family is connected to the network using four fixed network uplink configurations. See Network Uplink Types.

As a result you can connect your system to the network using one of the following five supported uplink types.

•One uplink

•Two uplinks with common management and control traffic

•Two uplinks with common control and data traffic

•Three uplinks

•Flexible network uplink

Note Once you configure an uplink type, the only way to modify it is to reload the software.

See the Cisco Nexus 1010 Software Configuration Guide, Release 4.2(1)SP1(4) for more information about network uplink types.

During the installation of Cisco Nexus 1010 product family you can setup the flexible network uplink type or the static network uplink uplink type. After you set up the uplink type, you can change the uplink type only once. See the Cisco Nexus 1010 Software Configuration Guide, Release 4.2(1)SP1(4) for information about migrating the network uplink types.

Table 2-4 Table 2-4shows the four supported network uplink types and the ports that carry each type of VLAN traffic.

There is no traffic segregation based on traffic class

VLANs

Control, and management VLANs are used by the Cisco Nexus 1010 product family for management and communication with its virtual service blades. These VLANs are added as a part of the initial setup of the management software. Control and packet VLANs are also added to each virtual service blade when it is created. The management VLAN is inherited from the Cisco Nexus 1010 product family by each virtual service blade.

If you modify a control, packet, or management VLAN on the Cisco Nexus 1010 product family , the change is effective immediately. A reload is required to effect the change of control and management VLAN on Cisco Nexus 1010. However, for service continuity, you must configure the same control and packet VLANs on the hosted VSMs. Otherwise the Cisco Nexus 1010 loses communication with its VSMs.

This section includes the following additional topics:

•Management VLAN

•Control VLAN

Management VLAN

The management VLAN is the VLAN that forwards traffic for the management port of the Cisco Nexus 1010. If your virtual service blade uses the management class of traffic, it inherits the management VLAN from the Cisco Nexus 1010.

The management VLAN is used by the outside world to reach the Cisco Nexus 1010 management 0 interface. The Cisco Nexus 1010 and its hosted Cisco Nexus 1000V VSMs share the same management VLAN. Unlike the control and packet VLANs which are set when a virtual service blade is created, the management VLAN is inherited from the Cisco Nexus 1010 by all virtual service blades it hosts.

Control VLAN

The control VLAN is a Layer 2 interface used for communication between the redundant Cisco Nexus 1010s. This interface handles low-level control packets such as heartbeats as well as any configuration data that needs to be exchanged between the Cisco Nexus 1010s.

Setting up the Primary Cisco Nexus 1010 or Cisco Nexus 1010-X

You can use this procedure to set up the management software for the following:

•The primary Cisco Nexus 1010 or Cisco Nexus 1010-X in a redundant HA pair

It is a recommended Cisco best practice to configure a primary Cisco Nexus 1010 or Cisco Nexus 1010-X with a secondary backup. Although you can configure a primary Cisco Nexus 1010 without a secondary backup, this configuration in a production environment is not supported.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

•You have the following information available for this Cisco Nexus 1010:

–Administrator password

–HA role (primary or secondary)
If you do not specify an HA role, then the role is configured as primary.

–Network uplink type

–Control VLAN ID

–Domain ID

–Management VLAN ID

–Management 0 IP address
This is the IP address of the management interface that appears as the mgmt0 port on the appliance.

–Default gateway IP address

–SSH service key type and number of key bits

Step 22 Do one of the following:

•If you do not want to edit the configuration answer no and continue with the next step.

•If you want to edit the configuration, answer yes and return to Step 12 to revisit each command.
Example:
Would you like to edit the configuration? (yes/no) [n]:no
Step 23 When asked to use and save this configuration, answer yes.

Caution If you do not save the configuration now, then none of your changes are part of the configuration the next time the switch is rebooted. Enter yes to save the new configuration. This ensures that the kickstart and system images are also automatically configured.
Example:
Use this configuration and save it? (yes/no) [y]: yes
[########################################] 100%
The new configuration is saved into nonvolatile storage, after which the running and the startup copies of the configuration are identical.

Note You can use the setup routine to update the configuration done in Step 12 through Step 23 at any time by entering the setup command in EXEC mode. Once setup begins, press Enter to skip a command. Use ctrl-c to skip the remaining commands.

Setting up the Secondary Cisco Nexus 1010 or Cisco Nexus 1010-X

You can use this procedure to set up the management software for the secondary Cisco Nexus 1010 or Cisco Nexus 1010-X in a redundant pair.

It is recommended to configure the same domain ID, uplink type, control VLAN, management VLAN, control uplink, management uplink for both primary and secondary 1010s.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1 When asked, enter and confirm the Administrator password.

Example:

"admin":Confirm the password for ---- System Admin Account Setup ---- Enter the password for "admin":

Step 2 When asked, enter the HA role.
Example: 
"admin": secondary

Step 3 When asked, enter the uplink type.

Note Once you configure an uplink type, the only way to modify it is to reload the software.
Example: 
Enter network-uplink type <1-5>: 
  1. Ports 1-2 carry all management, control and data vlans 
  2. Ports 1-2  management and control, ports 3-6 data 
  3. Ports 1-2 management, ports 3-6 control and data 
  4. Ports 1-2 management, ports 3-4 control, ports 5-6 data 
  5. Flexible

Step 4 When asked, enter the VLAN ID for the control VLAN.

Example:
Enter control vlan <1-3967, 4048-4093>: 347
Step 5 When asked, enter control uplink type.

Example:
Enter control uplink <1-6>: 1
Step 6 When asked, enter the domain ID.

Example:
 Enter the domain id<1-4095>: 3477
Step 7 When asked, enter the VLAN ID for the management VLAN.

Example:
 Enter management vlan<1-3967,4048-4093>: 180
Step 8 When asked, enter management uplink type.

Example:
Enter management uplink <1-6>: 2
The following things occur on the switch:

•The new configuration is saved into nonvolatile storage, after which the running and the startup copies of the configuration are identical.

•The system reboots to configure the network uplinks.

•The system restarts and synchronizes its configuration with the primary Cisco Nexus 1000V.
Example:

  HA mode set to secondary. Rebooting now...
Step 9 You have completed this procedure. You can verify the configuration using the following command:

show running configuration.
