Introduction
This document provides a solution for vPC consistency that occurs between 2 vPC peer devices.
Core Issue
Getting N7K SVI type-2 configuration incompatible message in Nexus 7K
Example: N7K1# show vpc
Legend: (*) - local vPC is down, forwarding via vPC peer-linkvPC
domain id : 1
Peer status : peer adjacency formed ok
vPC keep-alive status : peer is alive
Configuration consistency
status : success
Type-2 consistency status : failed
Type-2 consistency reason:SVI type-2 configuration incompatible
vPC role :primary
Number of vPCs configured : 27
Peer Gateway : Disabled
Resolution
Some configuration mismatches between vpc peers can cause unexpected or wrong forwarding.Therefore some checks are
performed on the configuration of the vpc peers to see if those parameters are matching, these parameters can be global or
on a vpc. The configuration parameters that need to match on both vpc peers are classified as type-1 and type-2.Type-1
mismatches being more severe,trigger some actions from the devices, such as suspending a vpc, not allowing the cluster to form.
With type-2 configuration error, an error will be syslogged, but no action will be taken by the nexus.For complete list of parameters
that must or should be identical between the vPC peers refer Compatibility Parameters for vPC Interfaces
Note that Note that Interface vlans must be in the same state (admin up or down) on both vPC peers.
To display the consistency of parameters that must be compatible across the virtual port-channel (vPC) interfaces,
use the show vpc consistency-parameters command.
Sample Output
switch# show vpc consistency-parameters interface po 15
Legend:
Type 1 : vPC will be suspended in case of mismatch
