In a pair of Nexus 5000, the show vpc consistency-parameters command displays VTP trunk status on only one Nexus Enabled. The config is identical, what is the reason for the discrepancy?

# sh vpc consistency-parameters vpc 10

    Legend:
        Type 1 : vPC will be suspended in case of mismatch

  • What is the VTP mode on both devices? – Ryan Foley Mar 11 '14 at 21:11
  • VTP Mode on both N3K is set to Server, running version: 1 – Robert Mar 14 '14 at 5:42
  • Just for information, I'm having this issue on N7K too – user14928 Apr 17 '15 at 6:05

The - character indicates VTP is disabled.

As Fizzle says, show vtp status should reveal the discrepancy.

There is a bug on the N3K that causes this behavior even if they're currently set the same if you have ever enabled VTP the box still thinks its on. Perhaps that bug also exists on N5K if show vpc status shows the same state.

In any case since its a type 2 inconsistency it doesn't affect traffic flow.

  • VTP is enabled and running on both N3K. Guess it's the same bug you mentioned, which causes the incorrect output of sh vpc consistency-parameters. – Robert Mar 14 '14 at 5:49
