We are using Nexus 7k with Viprion 2400s. Currently we are using port-channels and no VPC. 11.1 HF4

 

 

We also have a Nexus 7k attached to some bigip 6400s. On those we are using VPC. 11.1 vanilla.

 

 

 

We are currently seeing problems with our Viprion setup. When one of our device group members does a failover to another member, it downs its ports ( built-in mgmt as well as traffic processing ports ). When we do a failover from the other side of the cluster we do not see this behavior. Identical Nexus 7k setups and code. Identical Software and Bigip setups and code. F5 is currently escalating to help find the issue.
