[c-nsp] vPC Object Tracking (used when vPC Peer Link with Single 10G Module)

I am looking for the vPC Object Tracking Solution NX-OS configuration that
solve blackout issue when using vPC Peer Link with Single 10G Module.

The vPC object tracking enhancement tracks uplinks and vPC peer link as an
object list. When vPC object tracking is enabled, a vPC peer detects the
tracked object going-down state (simultaneous failure of peer-link and
uplinks interfaces) and locally suspends vPCs. The feature targets a
topology where peer-link and uplinks are located on the same card (that is,
a single point of failure) or a case where simultaneous failure of these
interfaces is cause for a concern. In this scenario, suspending local vPCs
through the vPC object tracking feature allows you to avoid potential
traffic black-holing.


Is the following configuration correct on both Primary and Secondary vPC?

interface Ethernet 1/1
channel-group 5 mode active
!
interface Ethernet 1/2
channel-group 5 mode active
!
interface port-channel 5
vpc peer-link
!
track 5 interface port-channel 5
!
vpc domain 5
track 5

or not ;)


Feedback welcome.
