Configuring Cisco ACI/Nexus Switch Ports for Maestro R81.20 Running in VSX

[PrasannaRout]

Is there any standard documents for Configuring Cisco ACI/Nexus Switch Ports for Maestro R81.20 Running in VSX .

For each Bond, there are total 4x10G ports ( 2 connection goes to 1st MHO & 2 connection goes to 2nd MHO) configured in LACP 802.3ad |Load Sharing . How ever, traffic can be seen in only in 2 connection goes to 1st MHO. 

How does the traffic load balancing is happening . What changes we need to do both at CISCO & CHECKPOINT side so that we will get 40G output. 

Are all 4 MHO Ports acts as ACTIVE-ACTIVE ? we are using MHO140

All ports in the bond are active, it is a single LACP bond with all four ports in it. The switches should be configured as such too.

Do you have any supported documentation to Cisco Catalyst Switch Side configuration in order to support Maestro VSX.

changed hash-policy to L3,4 for all bonds. auto-negotiation enabled for BOND .

We can see traffic in all 4 ports. However we see FCS & Receive errors in Uplink switch Ports 

switch#show interfaces counters errors

Further to the advise from Emma setting the correct hashing for your environment may also be a factor.

What cabling and transceivers are used, this usually points to a physical layer issue?

[PrasannaRout]

This is fixed by changing MTU setting. 

MTU at Orchestrator Ports - 10236(Default )

MTU at SMO/Firewall Bond - 1500 ( Default)
