About Troubleshooting vPCs
A vPC allows links that are physically connected to two different devices to appear as a single port channel
by a third device.
Initial Troubleshooting vPCs Checklist
Begin troubleshooting vPC issues by checking the following issues first:
DoneChecklist
Is the vPC keepalive link mapped to a separate VRF? If not, it will be mapped to the
management VRF by default. In this case, do you have a management switch connected to
the management ports on both vPC peer devices?
Verify that both the source and destination IP addresses used for the peer-keepalive messages
are reachable from the VRF associated with the vPC peer-keepalive link.
Verify that the peer-keepalive link is up. Otherwise, the vPC peer link will not come up.
