Unicast Forwarding
Return Packet from Host C to Host A
SW 1 1. Host C reply packet to Host A;
Host C SW runs algorithm and selects the path
N5k-1 N5k-2 to N5k-2
2 1. N5k-2 searches MAC table for Host A,
which points to its local FEX port that
belongs to vPC bundle for Host A;
N5k-2 sends packets to FEX
2. FEX forwards packet to Host A based
on the internal header constructed by
3 N5k-2
Host A Host B
