Hi, I intend to deploy a pair on 93180YC switches, connected to these will be a fex each. Does the 93180YC support VPC+ ?

Hi,

It does support vPC

from the data sheet:

Virtual Port-Channel (vPC) technology provides Layer 2 multipathing through the elimination of Spanning Tree Protocol. It also enables fully utilized bisectional bandwidth and simplified Layer 2 logical topologies without the need to change the existing management and deployment models.

I think you mean EVPC, where you can connect FEX to a pair of parent switches AND still connect hosts with virtual port-channel across a pair of FEX's. That feature is only supported on Nexus 5K/6K.

You can connect a FEX to a pair of parent switches on Nexus 7000, but only with hosts connecting to a single FEX (no host-facing VPC).   I believe this feature is roadmapped for the N9K, but it's not available in current SW.

Today, each FEX must be single-homed to a single N9K.
