vPC on multiple nexus 5010/5020

[tiwang]

Hi out there

I have a set of Nexus 5020 (and also 5010) with a vPC between - - this means that the nx50201 and nx50202 is interconnetec with a vPC

Now a got a second - redundant for DR - set of nexus 5020 - configured identical - which means that they also have a vPC between then which runs fine. Now would I like to interconnect the two set of switches with a vPC also - so that I also have a vPC between them but the limitation for the vPC is max 2 switches in a single vPC - is there a way to trick this so that I could have a vPC between my redundant set of switches also?

best regards /ti

Hi,

Yes, the limitation is still 2 devices.

You can have only two devices as vPC peers; each  device can serve as a vPC peer to only one other vPC peer. The vPC peer  devices can also have non-vPC links to other devices.

vPC is only available between 2 switches. If you have N7K, you can put them in different VDC, but not the N5K.

HTH,
