Dual 7010 - Layer 3 Peering Best Practice/Recommendation

[myounger]

I have 2 Nexus 7010s with 2 Nexus 5548s dual connected to each 7K. The 7010s are acting as redundant core devices. Dual Sup2E in each.

Can someone tell me what the best practice is for layer 3 peering (EIGRP) between these devices. I can't seem to find any example documents.

VPCs are used

Approx 20 Vlans. Mutliple functions, lots of virtualized servers (200+) on UCS and VMware.

A firewall HA pair will be connected - 1 to each 7K. This leads to the Internet and DMZ.

1 MPLS WAN router will be connected to the primary 7K.

Let me know if you need any additional info. Thanks!

I'm not sure that I understand your question. Is it EIGRP peering across the vPC links between the Core switches?

If so see below an example for OSPF but the concepts are the same for EIGRP
