[cisco-voip] BE7K + Nexus FEX module + Port Channel ON (no LACP support)

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Thanks Dennis, 

do you know if the essentials version of the 1000v requires vCentre?

Per this: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=2051307 



It looks like LACP is supported with vDS, so if you are running vCenter. Other option could be the Nexus1000v. The essentials version of the Nexus1000v, I believe is free, but would require time and effort to configure/stand it up. That looks to be your two options, Lelio.

Anyone running Cisco UCS 240 (BE7K) with port channel ON connected to Nexus FEX modules? 

Our data centre team has concerns with turning port channel ON without LACP negotiation. 

Our partner has said that the BE7K does not support LACP.
