Enhanced VPC to ESXi Host Bandwidth

Hi

I have an ESXi host with 10G fibre uplinks to 2 x Nexus 5598 both Nexus are configured identical and associated ports/VPC show up.

Ports/VPC are configured as access port and all looks well, however I am trying to understand the Bandwidth of the VPC because when I do a sho int port-channel 51 on any of the Nexus devices I just see 10G... is this correct?

Also from the ESXi host I have another port-channel with 2 x 10G Copper ports to a single FEX which is dual-homed to both N5Ks this understandably shows as a 20G Port-channel.

Config below:-

interface port-channel51
description ***  10Gb Private VPC ***
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 49
spanning-tree port type edge
vpc 51

Nexus 1

interface Ethernet1/27
description *** 10Gb Private VMNIC6 ***
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 49
spanning-tree port type edge
channel-group 51

Nexus 2


interface Ethernet1/27
description *** 10Gb Private VMNIC7 ***
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 49
spanning-tree port type edge
channel-group 51

Any thoughts appreciated

can you share the "show vpc" and "show interface status" output ?

Sure, attached response form one of 5Ks, the other was identical.

Thanks

Bandwidth is just an interface parameter and does not influence anything except EIGRP cost.
