Chapter 7 Configuring vPCs
Configuring vPCs
DETAILED STEPS
This example shows how to set the vPC reload restore feature and save it in the switch startup
configuration:
switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)# vpc domain 5
switch(config-vpc-domain)# reload restore
Warning:
Enables restoring of vPCs in a peer-detached state after reload, will wait for 240
seconds (by default) to determine if peer is un-reachable
switch(config-vpc-domain)# exit
switch(config)# exit
switch# copy running-config startup-config
switch# show running-config vpc
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Example:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
vpc domain domain-id
Example:
switch(config)# vpc domain 5
switch(config-vpc-domain)#
Enters the vPC domain number that you want to
configure. The system enters the vpc-domain
configuration mode.
Step 3
reload restore [delay time-out]
Example:
switch(config-vpc-domain)# reload restore
Configures the vPC to assume its peer is not
functional and to bring up the vPC. The default
delay is 240 seconds. You can configure a time-out
delay from 240 to 3600 seconds.
Use the no form of the command to reset the vPC to
the standard behavior.
Step 4
exit
Example:
switch(config-vpc-domain)# exit
switch(config)#
Exits the vpc-domain configuration mode.
Step 5
show running-config vpc
Example:
switch# show running-config vpc
(Optional) Displays information about the vPC,
specifically the reload status.
Step 6
show vpc consistency-parameters interface
port-channel number
Example:
switch# show vpc consistency-parameters
interface port-channel 1
(Optional) Displays information about the vPC
consistency parameters for the specified interface.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch# copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the
startup configuration.
Note To ensure the reload feature is enabled, you
should perform this step.
