Static routing over VPC's

[millerjw]

Pair of 7K's running hsrp for L3 redundancy.  I would like to add this vlan to a VPC from the two 7k's trunked up to a pair of 5010's. Attached to the two 5010's is another VPC to a 3560x with the L3 linknet on the port channel.  I know I can't run a dynamic routing protocol in this configuration, but can I put static routes on the 7k's pointing to the 3560x?

Thanks,

You can use static routes from the 7k pointing to the 3560, and then from the 3560 pointing to the HSRP address of the 7k.

However are your 7k's forming a vPC with your 5ks, or are your 5ks forming a vPC to your 7ks...or both?  Depending on this you may be able to run dynamic routing protocol.  They key is to not form a routing adj over a vpc member link from the 7k's perspective.  So if the 7ks are not creating the vpc, then dynamic routing protocol would be okay.

Hope this helps
