Viewing a vPC
The virtual port channel (vPC) feature enables you
to view the links that are physically connected to different devices
as a single port channel. A vPC is an extended form of a port channel
which allows you to create redundancy and increase bisectional bandwidth
by enabling multiple parallel paths between nodes and allowing load balancing
traffic. Traffic is distributed among two single device vPC end points.
If there is an inconsistency in the vPC configurations, the vPC does
not function correctly.
The Cisco DCNM Web Client helps you to identify
the inconsistent vPCs and resolve the inconsistencies in each vPC or
in all vPCs.
This section contains the following:
• Viewing
vPC Inconsistencies
• Resolving
vPC Inconsistencies
From the menu bar, choose Health > Virtual
Port Channels (vPC).
Cisco DCNM Web Client displays both the consistent
and inconsistent vPCs.
Note The
vPC inconsistency page displays inconsistencies only for the devices
that have required Cisco DCNM licenses installed on them. The devices
that do not have Cisco DCNM LAN license installed on them do not appear
on this page.
Table 1-1
displays the following vPC configuration details in the data grid view.
