Configuring a vPC Keepalive Link

You can configure the destination IP for the peer-keepalive link that carries the keepalive messages. Optionally,
you can configure other parameters for the keepalive messages.
Before You Begin
Ensure that you have enabled the vPC feature.
You must configure the vPC peer-keepalive link before the system can form the vPC peer link.
