Chapter 1 Overview Secure Socket Layer Card

Secure Socket Layer Card

Virtual Service Blades on the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform can offload their security processing capacity to a dedicated external processor to improve their performance. Depending on their deployment models, different VSBs may require more or less processing capacity than the others on the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform.

In order to meet the security processing requirements of the VSBs, starting this release, the Cisco Nexus 1110-X, supports the Cavium Nitrox Crypto Compression card also known as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) card, as a Field Replacement Unit (FRU) to enable the secure socket layer and crypto acceleration.

Note The UCS firmware should be upgraded for an SSL card to be supported. For details, see the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform Software Configuration Guide, Release 5.2(1)SP1(7.1).

The SSL card provides a total of 30 GBps of SSL offload capacity that is shared by all the VSBs on the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform. The Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform slices the security processor card and allocates the corresponding capacities to the VSBs, based on their bandwidth requirement. However, you have to configure the VSBs to utilize the allocated slice of the security processor card. For detailed information about Configuring SSL and Crypto Offload Capability in a Virtual Service Blade, see the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform Software Configuration Guide, Release 5.2(1)SP1(7.1).

The Cisco Nexus 1110-X is shipped with two Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCIe) slots with Cisco UCS VIC 1225 (UCSC-PCIE-CSC-02) or the10G Dual Port VIC (dual port 10G card) and the Intel 1G Quad Port NIC (Quad port 1G card) inserted by default. Starting this release, the Dual port 10G card and the Quad port 1G card can be replaced by the SSL card. You can add an SSL card without service interruption.

Installing the SSL Card on Your Cisco Nexus Cloud Services PlatformThis section describes the steps to install the SSL card on your Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform.

Step 1 Power down the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform and then disconnect the power cords to each power supply. The system is powered down when the LEDs on each power supply are off.

Caution When you are handling the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform, you must follow the ESD protocol at all times to prevent ESD damage. This protocol includes, but is not limited to wearing an ESD wrist strap that you connect to the earth ground in the data center building.

Step 2 Disconnect the up-links from the network.

Step 3 Slide the Cisco Nexus 1110-X out from the rack, and remove its top panel.

Step 4 Once you remove the top panel, you can see the Cisco Nexus 1110-X with its default configuration. The PCIe2 slot has the Quad port 1G card and the PCIe1 slot has the Dual port 10G card.

Caution The system will not boot, if either of the PCIe slots do not detect the right card.

Step 5 You have two options. You can either replace the Quad port Intel NIC by the SSL card in the PCIe slot 2, or you can replace the Dual port VIC card with the SSL card in the PCIe1 slot.

Chapter 1 Overview Getting Started with the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform

Step 6 Once the SSL card is installed in the desired PCIe slot, slide the lid of the Cisco Nexus 1110-X back, restore all the configurations and power on the device. To view a video of the installation, see the Hardware Installation Video.

Step 7 Once the SSL card is installed, you can configure it using the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform Software CLI. For detailed information about enabling a 10G Card on the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform, see the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform Software Configuration Guide, Release 5.2(1)SP1(7.1).

Guidelines for Using the SSL CardThe following are the guidelines for using the SSL card on the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform.

1. The SSL card is supported as a Field Replacement Unit (FRU) only on the Cisco Nexus 1110-X.

2. Multiple VSBs on a single Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform can offload their security processing to a single security processor.

3. The SSL card is supported only on a new deployment and you cannot upgrade your existing Cisco Nexus 1110-X pair to a crypto enabled Cisco Nexus 1110-X pair. However, you can convert the existing Cisco Nexus 1110-X to a crypto enabled appliance by replacing the Quad Port Card or 10G card with an SSL card and reinstalling the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform software. For information about installing the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform software, see the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform Software Installation and Upgrade Guide, Release 5.2(1)SP1(7.1).

Note All the existing configuration and the VSBs on your Cisco Nexus 1110-X will be lost when you reinstall the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform software.

4. If the security processor card used by a VSB gets disabled, the VSB moves to the shutdown state in the following cases:

– When the presence of an SSL card is not detected after a system reboot.

Note When a Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform is paired with a new HA appliance, and the HA Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform does not have an SSL card, the VSB will be moved to the shutdown state on the newly paired HA appliance

Getting Started with the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services PlatformTo get started with the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform, you first install the hardware appliance and connect it to the network. This document includes procedures for doing this. This document also includes crucial safety information and prerequisite information for each step of the hardware install.

Note There are some changes to the hardware installation process in this release. Starting this release, the Dual port 10G card and the Quad port 1G card can be replaced by the SSL card.

Network Traffic Classification

Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform network traffic is classified as follows:

For more information about software configuration after connecting to your network, see the most recent version of the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform Software Configuration Guide.

Network Topologies

You can choose one of the following four topologies to funnel traffic into multiple uplinks or shared uplinks by traffic type. Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform is installed in high-availability pairs, and the active and standby must be in the same Layer 2 (L2) switching domain.

Upstream Switch PrerequisitesThe switch upstream from your Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform must meet the following prerequisites before you connect the uplinks.

• Alternate upstream switches must connect to the alternate Ethernet ports on the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform.

– Connect the first upstream switch to Cisco Nexus 1110 Ethernet ports 1, 3, and 5.

– Connect the second upstream switch to Cisco Nexus 1110 Ethernet ports 2, 4, and 6.

• You must configure the Ethernet ports on the upstream switch in trunk mode.

• The Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform does not support native VLAN for the SP(1) version.

• Do not add ports from redundant Cisco Nexus 1110s to the same port channel.

• You must enable LACP mode on the upstream switch.

The following example assigns an Ethernet port to an EtherChannel group, enables EtherChannel mode, or both for a Catalyst 6000 or Catalyst 3000 series switch.

Example:switch# show etherchannel summaryswitch# config t

• For detailed information about configuring port channels and LACP, see the documentation for your upstream switch.

Type of Traffic Description

Management Data exchanged between the SSH or HTTP interface and the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform management software.

Control Data packets that are exchanged between the Virtual Supervisor Modules (VSMs) and the Virtual Ethernet modules (VEMs).

Data Data packets from other Virtual Service Blades (VSBs).

Table 2-1 Network Topologies

Topology Description

Flexible network configuration

Flexible network configuration allows you to define the topology and also to map VSB ports to the uplinks. In this topology, VSB interfaces are not classified into mgmt, control or data, and you need to map them to the uplinks.


OL-21791-01


• The interfaces in the upstream switch that are in an LACP bond are configured with the same

channel ID in active mode. The following example configures an interface with a channel group in active mode for a Catalyst 6000 or Catalyst 3000 series switch.

Example:switch# config tswitch(config)# int gi3/6switch(config-if)# channel-group 101 mode activeswitch(config)# channel-group channel-group-number mode {active | {auto [non-silent]} | {desirable [non-silent]} | on | passive}

• The interfaces in the upstream switch use the adaptive policy for port channel load distribution.

The following example configures an interface with the adaptive policy for a Catalyst 6000 or Catalyst 3000 series switch.

Example:switch# config tswitch# interface port-channel 101switch# port-channel port hash-distribution adaptive

• The Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platforms must be connected to the same two upstream switches

Connecting the Uplinks to the NetworkThis section includes procedures for connecting the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform using the Flexible Network Uplink Configuration.

Flexible Network Uplink Configuration

Flexible network configuration offers complete flexibility to connect Cisco Nexus 1110 or Cisco Nexus 1010-X to the network, and allowing flexible deployment of the VSBs on the Cisco Nexus 1110 product family. Flexible configuration thus enables appropriate traffic segregation policies like VSB traffic segregation. The default flexible network uplink configuration is the basic configuration with each physical port acting as an individual uplink. See Figure 2-6. You can then make changes to the default configuration by adding ports to a port channel or by assigning uplinks to a VSB interface.

Note If you need to set up the flex-link mode, but your Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform is connected to a pair of switches that is not in VSS, it is recommended that in HA mode, the channel have just 2 members. There will be VSB traffic loss if the switch goes down. Recommended LACP for this is: - Ports connected to Cat6K-1 as PC-1- Ports connected to Cat6K-2 as PC-2

For more information on flexible network uplink configuration, see the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform Software Configuration Guide, Release 5.2(1)SP1(7.1).

Chapter 5 Power Supplies Replacing a Power Supply

Figure 5-1 Installing an additional Power Supply

Replacing a Power SupplyTo replace a power supply, follow these steps:

Note If you have ordered a server with power supply redundancy (at least two power supplies), you do not have to power off the server to replace a power supply because they are hot pluggable.

Step 1 Remove a power supply or a blanking panel from an empty bay:

a. Do one of the following actions:

– If your server has only one power supply, shut down and power off the server.

– If your server has two power supplies, the power supplies are hot pluggable so you do not have to shut down the server.

b. Remove the power cord from the power supply that you are replacing.

c. Push the release lever toward the center of the power supply or blanking panel and pull on the handle to disengage the supply from the backplane (see Figure 5-2).

d. Remove the power supply from the bay.

Step 2 Install a new power supply. See Installing an Additional Power Supply, page 5-1 and Figure 5-2.
