Configuring a vPC 
The high-level steps for enabling vPC are listed here. This configuration should be implemented on both switches 
in parallel. 
1.  Enable the vPC feature. 
2.  Create the vPC domain. 
3.  Configure the peer keepalive link. 
4.  Configure the vPC peer link Port Channel. 
5.  Check the status of the vPC. 
1.  Enable the vPC feature: 
 
N5548-Bottom# 
configure terminal
 
N5548-Bottom(config)# 
feature vpc 
 
N5548-Top# 
configure terminal
 
N5548-Top(config)# 
feature vpc
 
 
2.  Create the vPC domain (the domain should be unique within network): 
 
N5548-Bottom(config)# 
vpc domain 5 
N5548-Bottom(config)# role priority 1 
N5548-Bottom(config)# system-priority 1 
 
N5548-Top(config)# 
vpc domain 5 
N5548-Top(config)# role priority 2 
N5548-Top(config)# system-priority 1 
 
3.  Configure the peer keepalive link over the management network: 
 
N5548-Bottom(config-vpc-domain)# 
peer-keepalive destination 172.25.182. 109 source 
172.25.182. 108
 
Note: 
 --------:: Management VRF will be used as the default VRF ::-------- 
 
 
N5548-Top(config-vpc-domain)# 
peer-keepalive destination 172.25.182. 108 source 
172.25.182. 109
 
Note: 
 --------:: Management VRF will be used as the default VRF ::--------
