Manually Configuring a vPC Domain MAC Address

Note Configuring the system address is an optional configuration step.
Before You Begin
Ensure that you have enabled the vPC feature.
You must configure both switches on either side of the vPC peer link.
OL-25842-01
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Selects the port channel that you want to put into the vPC to connect to the
downstream switch, and enters interface configuration mode.
Note A vPC can be configured on a normal port channel (physical vPC
topology), on an port channel fabric interface (fabric extender vPC
topology), and on a port channel host interface (host interface vPC
topology)
Configures the selected port channel into the vPC to connect to the downstream
switch. The range is from 1 to 4096.
The vPC number that you assign to the port channel that connects to the
downstream switch from the vPC peer switch must be identical on both vPC
peer switches.
(Optional)
Displays information about each vPC.
(Optional)
Copies the running configuration to the startup configuration.
