vPC peer-link on N7k's 1Gig link?

[rajaraman.lala]

We are in process of setting up vPC peer between 2 N7ks over a 1Gig link, has anybody done this before? Couldn't find any documents in cisco site which talks about this. All of the documents points to setting up using 10G links.

Cheers

Hello Raja,

The vPC peer link must be 10Gb Ethernet otherwise it will not form. It is also mentioned here.

The vPC peer keep alive link by all means can be 1Gb.
