Configuration assistance - ESXi integration with ACI

anoop verma

Level 1

We want to migrate a ESXi server (multiple VM running on the server) from legacy network to ACI fabric. We want to achieve this by network centric approach. We don’t want to configure VMM domain. Below is the existing topology.

 

3560 Switch ---------ESXi server. Three links are in between server and switch. Below is the switch interface configuration.

 

-3560#sh run int Gi0/35

Building configuration...

 

Current configuration : 167 bytes

!

interface GigabitEthernet0/35

description *** Management port***

switchport access vlan 230

switchport mode access

spanning-tree portfast

end

 

-3560#sh run int Gi0/36

Building configuration...

 

Current configuration : 221 bytes

!

interface GigabitEthernet0/36

description ** xxxxxx **

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-699,701-709,711-719,721-4094

switchport mode trunk

spanning-tree portfast trunk

end

 

-3560#sh run int Gi0/37

Building configuration...

 

Current configuration : 202 bytes

!

interface GigabitEthernet0/37

descripti ** xxxxxx **

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk allowed vlan 700,710,720

switchport mode trunk

spanning-tree portfast trunk

end

 

Kindly suggest how to migrate to aci fabric.

You just would create static bindings down to your ESXI host once you get rid of the 3560. For your MGMT VLAN create a seperate EPG/static binding with the VLAN  230 set to 802.1p (access). For the trunked VLANs create EPGs with static bindings set to trunk.
