[c-nsp] Nexus / VPC - Management port "needed" in VPC?

[CiscoNSP List]

Hi Everyone(Sent this yesterday, but it seems to have not made it to the list?),


We have a customer that is wanting to do VPC on some N9Ks and also N3Ks - I "thought" VPC would be similar to VSS...i.e. dual link between the switches...but my (brief) reading up on the setup, I see some setup guides where there are dual links(2 x 10Gb, or 2 x 40Gb), plus the use of the management port for vPC peer keepalives?

Any info on the "correct"  method to setup VPC on the Nexus would be greatly appreciated



Thanks.
