Information About Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform
The Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform product family includes the Cisco Nexus 1010, Cisco Nexus
1010-X, Cisco Nexus 1110-S, and the Cisco Nexus 1110-X.
The Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform product family product family comprises networking
appliances that can host from 6 up to 14 Cisco Nexus 1000V virtual service blades (VSBS) on a Cisco
Nexus Cloud Services Platform.
The Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform product family supports VSBs like Cisco Nexus 1000V
Virtual Supervisor Module (VSM), Cisco NetScalar 1000v, Network Analysis Module (NAM), Virtual
Security Gateway (VSG), and Data Center Network Management Module (DCNM).
The Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform provides dedicated hardware for the VSM. From a network
management perspective, the hosted VSMs appear as a cluster. Each VSM and its associated VEMs make
up one virtual switch. VSMs that were hosted on VMware virtual machines can be hosted on a Cisco
Nexus 1010, Cisco Nexus 1010-X, Cisco Nexus 1110-S, or Cisco Nexus 1110-X appliance. This allows
you to install and manage the VSM like a standard Cisco switch. The services (VSM, VSG, DCNM, or
NAM) managed by the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform product family are called virtual service
blades.

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 Platform
This section describes the steps to install the SSL card on your Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform.
Step 1
Caution
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.
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
Step 5
The system will not boot, if either of the PCIe slots do not detect the right card.
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.

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 Card
The 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
4.
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.
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 Platform
To 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:
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).
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.
Table 2-1
Network Topologies
Topology
Flexible network
configuration
Description
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.
Upstream Switch Prerequisites
The 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 summary
switch# config t
•
For detailed information about configuring port channels and LACP, see the documentation for your
upstream switch.
Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform Hardware Installation Guide
OL-21791-01
2-11
Chapter 2
Installing a Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform Without CIMC
Connecting to Upstream Switches
•
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 t
switch(config)# int gi3/6
switch(config-if)# channel-group 101 mode active
switch(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 t
switch# interface port-channel 101
switch# 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 Network
This 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).
