Allow a single device to use a port channel across two upstream switches Eliminate STP blocked ports Uses all available uplink bandwidth Dual-homed server operate in active-active mode Provide fast convergence upon link/device failure Reduce CAPEX and OPEX Available on current and future hardware for M1 and D1 generation cards. Logical Topology without vPC Logical Topology with vPC Feature Overview TerminologyvPC Definition vPC peer – a vPC switch, one of a pair vPC member port – one of a set of ports (port channels) that form a vPC vPC – the combined port channel between the vPC peers and the downstream device vPC peer-link – Link used to synchronize state between vPC peer devices, must be 10GbE vPC peer-keepalive link – the keepalive link between vPC peer devices, i.e., backup to the vPC peer-link vPC VLAN – one of the VLANs carried over the peer-link and used to communicate via vPC with a peer device. non-vPC VLAN – One of the STP VLANs not carried over the peer-link CFS – Cisco Fabric Services protocol, used for state synchronization and configuration validation between vPC peer devices vPC vPC peer non-vPC device vPC peer-keepalive link vPC member port vPC vPC member port CFS protocol vPC peer-link Feature Overview Terminology vPC Terminology Building a vPC DomainConfiguration Steps Following steps are needed to build a vPC (Order does Matter!) Configure globally a vPC domain on both vPC devices Configure a Peer-keepalive link on both vPC peer switches (make sure is operational)NOTE: When a vPC domain is configured the keepalive must be operational to allow a vPC domain to successfully form. Configure (or reuse) an interconnecting port-channel between the vPC peer switches Configure the inter-switch channel as Peer-link on both vPC devices (make sure is operational) Configure (or reuse) Port-channels to dual-attached devices Configure a unique logical vPC and join port-channels across different vPC peers vPC vPC member port vPC peer-keepalive link
