Hi,

there is nothing special of STP config needed when you are configuring VPC.

Hello InayathUlla,

Will this be ok in the port-channel?

interface port-channel10
   switchport mode trunk
   switchport trunk allowed vlan all
  spanning-tree port type edge trunk
  spanning-tree bpduguard enable
  logging event port link-status
  logging event port trunk-status
  vpc 10

Thanks!

I agree with Ganesh on the point. The config on the port-channel works good

The STP points can be removed but if you dont want to do then stil the config is valid.

HI all,

If I connect the firewall to the nexus via L2 will the config apply?

thanks.

Hello,

No special confgiration is required, By default RSTP will take care when you do trunk configuration with F5 to N7k.

interface port-channel10
   switchport mode trunk
   switchport trunk allowed vlan all
  spanning-tree port type edge trunk
  spanning-tree bpduguard enable
  logging event port link-status
  logging event port trunk-status
  vpc 10

Is this port channel connected with F5 , If yes i dont think you require spanning-tree port type edge trunk or bpduguard command . As F5 devices are L7 device with L3 routing functionality which majorly works with routing packets to server and back to client.

Hope it Helps..
