Manually Configuring a vPC Domain MAC Address

When you create a vPC domain, the Cisco NX-OS software automatically creates a vPC system MAC
address, which is used for operations that are confined to the link-scope, such as LACP. However, you
may choose to configure the vPC domain MAC address manually.

vPC to connect to the downstream device, and enters
the interface configuration mode.
Configures the selected port channel into the vPC to
connect to the downstream device. You can use any
module in the device for these port channels. The
range is from 1 and 4096.
The vPC number that you assign to the port
Note
channel connecting to the downstream
