NX7K M and F series mixed chassis best practice?

[gwhuang5398]

I have NX7010 chassis' with mixed M and F series line cards. Fucntions to implement include VDC, vPC, VRF, and L3 routing. What are the best practices for mixed chassis? I once saw a Cisco document talking about it but couldn't find it right now.

Thanks in advance

Did you mean F1 and M1 cards? If so see below

I've found this to be a helpful quick comparison for the line cards:

Thanks both.

Understand Layer 3 functions should be performed by M1 ports. But if I use F2e 10G ports to build a trunk between 2 NX7K, then use a SVI to make Layer 3 adjacency across this trunk connection, is it ok?

I can use M1 1G ports to build this trunk too but I would prefer F2e 10G ports if this is ok.

Thanks
