Hi Everyone, I saw a very strange thing tonight while putting some vPC ports to a some access switches. So my Topology is a VSS stack to a pair of 5010 over vPC. I then have an active vPC from the 5010's to one 2960G port-channel. I now have this connected to several other 2960G's that are connected over port-channels and I was wanting to connect those 2960's directly to the 5010 over vPC, Just like the first one is, for failover and redundancy. Now with the ports on the 5010 in shutdown and the port channel in shutdown, as soon as I apply the config on the port connected to a 2960, the ports on the 2960 go from down/down to up/up even though the 5010 ports are shutdown.
So several questions, why would the ports on the 2960's come up and what can I check to see if something else is happening. Second, is this path a support configuration? I mean, I have been told that its not "Supported By Cisco" so that is their way of saying "weird stuff will happen". If I can't have vPC going to my VSS engines and then on the other side have vPC going to another switch, then there goes the benefit of using VSS or vPC and I might as well have just put everything down single links and not even worried about providing instant failover on the chance I loose one of the VSS Engines or a vPC switch. Any thoughts on what I am seeing? I haven't seen anything like it before.
