Excellent video. The only thing I would add is how VDC ties into this

And further, would I need to carve out a couple of ports for port-channel on each 5K for management since I would be using the MGMT0 interface for the keep-alive?

Can you shed a bit of light on this for me? I just received 2 N5Ks and 2 Nexus 2248 2248TP-E FEX devices. I have the layer 3 module for the 5K as this will be our new Core. I want some redundancy and I realize the 5K doesn't have full redundancy because of the single supervisor. My question is this... would I connect them in the proper way like this: Connect MGMT0 on back of each 5K to each other for the keep alive you mention in this video? And then connect each FEX to both 5K for failover?

Hey - what happens if I go to my N5k-1 and do a configuration change on a FEX port, say I changed configs on Eth117/1/1. Would this change be reflected if I go to to my N5k-2 and do a "show run int Eth117/1/1" ?

I tried setting this up with a crossover between the 2 mgmt0 NICs on the back of my N5Ks. I set them with the ip addresses of 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 with a 24 bit mask. They cannot PING each other. Says no route to host. What could be going on?

Disregard last comment, i forgot to put "vrf management" after the ping command... DOH!! Please help to respond my other previous comments if you can though.
