N7K - peer-keepalive different ports over different line Cards

[Ibrahim Jamil]

Hello Freinds

Can we use different ports over different line Cards to connect the peer-keep alives links then bundle these 2 on Port-channel on N7K Platform?

thanks

Ibrahim,

Yes. You can put one Ethernet interface each from two different line cards into a single layer 3 port-channel, then use this port-channel as the keepalive. Please ensure the keepalive port-channel is in a separate VRF.

This is one of the options documented on Page 27 of the Best Practices guide: https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/design/vpc_design/vpc_best_practices_design_guide.pdf
