Port groups in NX7000 F2 48-port 1G/10G Ethernet module in regard to VDC?

Have couple of questions about assigning ports on the F2 1G/10G Ethernet module to VDC. Thanks for any help.

1) The older 32-port 10G Ethernet module has port groups. When assigning ports to VDC, ports in the same port group should be assigned to the same VDC. Is it the same scenario with the newer F2 1G/10G Ethernet module? If so, where can I find information about mapping between ports and port groups?

2) The older 32-port 10G module has ports in dedicated mode or shared mode due to its 80G bandwidth to the switching fabrid. Is each port of the newer F2 10G module at 10G line rate? If that's the case, I can then assigned any ports to be vPC peer link, as oppsed to the older 32 port module where only one port from a port group can be in dedicated mode to be vPC peer link.

Thanks again

1) F2 has the same limitation. The port-group is grouped by the SoC. Meaning 1-4 is port-group 1, 5-8 is port-group 2, etc.

2) F2 is line rate if you have 5x Fab-2 module. Yes you can assign any port as vPC peer-link but you should consider the MAC limitation when designing such solution.

HTH,
