This document describes Layer 3 (L3) backup routing in a virtual port channel (vPC) setup. Cisco
recommends that you use the peer−gateway exclude−vlan command when you use F1 modules on the
peer−link.

Note: If the vPC peer link is configured on a Cisco Nexus 32−port 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (F1−Series) module
(N7K−F132XP−15), you must include the L3 backup routing VLAN in the VLAN list specified by the
peer−gateway exclude−vlan command.

See Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX−OS Release Notes, Release 5.1: New Software Features: Layer 3 Backup
Routing VLAN for details on the new peer−gateway exclude−vlan command.
