I do remember actually saying in a blog post one time that a reciprocal protection group for vPCs meant every second switch - and I do actually believe that is the case, although I don't have the equipment right here to prove it.
Could one of you wonderful friends out there supply me with either:
TIA

Hello Chris,
AFAIK, the reciprocal option will map odd nodes or even nodes together to form the vPC domain. My understanding seems to be confirmed by the examples below:
vpc domain consecutive Description: Pair all discovered leaves consecutively e.g. 101-102, 103-104 Command Mode: configure : Configuration Mode Command Path: # configure [['terminal', 't']] (config)# vpc domain consecutive vpc domain reciprocal Description: Pair all discovered leaves reciprocally e.g. 101-103, 102-104 Command Mode: configure : Configuration Mode Command Path: # configure [['terminal', 't']] (config)# vpc domain reciprocal
At the moment I do not have access to my lab, but I will give it a try later this week.
Stay safe,
Sergiu

Thanks Sergiu - I didn't think of looking at the CLI! But just like the document, it is right there.
apic1(config)# vpc domain ? consecutive Pair all discovered leaves consecutively e.g. 101-102, 103-104 explicit Pair two leaf nodes explicitly reciprocal Pair all discovered leaves reciprocally e.g. 101-103, 102-104
Pity they didn't think to put the same information on the GUI help page!
