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.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: #1f497d;"> </span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in" data-mce-style="border: none; border-top: solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt; padding: 3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;"> cisco-voip [mailto:cisco-voip-bounces@puck.nether.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Lelio Fulgenzi<br> <b>Sent:</b> Thursday, April 21, 2016 10:34 AM<br> <b>To:</b> cisco-voip voyp list <cisco-voip@puck.nether.net><br> <b>Subject:</b> [cisco-voip] BE7K + Nexus FEX module + Port Channel ON (no LACP support)</span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;"> </span></p></div><div><p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt" data-mce-style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;">Anyone running Cisco UCS 240 (BE7K) with port channel ON connected to Nexus FEX modules?</span></p><p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt" data-mce-style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;">Our data centre team has concerns with turning port channel ON without LACP negotiation.</span></p><p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt" data-mce-style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;">Our partner has said that the BE7K does not support LACP.</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;">---<br> Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A.<br> Senior Analyst, Network Infrastructure<br> Computing and Communications Services (CCS)<br> University of Guelph</span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;"> </span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;">519</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria Math",serif;color:black" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Cambria Math',serif; color: black;">‐</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;">824</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria Math",serif;color:black" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Cambria Math',serif; color: black;">‐</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;">4120 Ext 56354<br> <a href="mailto:lelio@uoguelph.ca" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:lelio@uoguelph.ca">lelio@uoguelph.ca</a><br> <a href="http://www.uoguelph.ca/ccs" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.uoguelph.ca/ccs">www.uoguelph.ca/ccs</a><br> Room 037, Animal Science and Nutrition Building<br> Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;"> </span></p></div></div></div></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
