Nexus 2248 Maximum VPC members

Hi,

I have a pair of 2248 Fex's where I'm currently terminating several VPC's to the servers, each with one port per Fex. Is it possible to run a VPC to a server with 4 ports, i.e 2 ports per Fex? I saw some discussions indicating it wasn't possible on a 2148 Fex, but would be on the 2248. Can anyone confirm it works as expected? The ports will just a dot1q trunks

Cheers

Steve

Hi,

Yes you can.  The max is 16 ports with 8 ports per FEX..

The Cisco Nexus 2248, Cisco Nexus 2224, Cisco Nexus 2232 and Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E devices support hardware port channels and up to 16 ports in a host vPC with up to 8 ports from each FEX.

See vpc doc for more details:
