interface port-channel 20
 
N5548-Bottom(config-if)# 
interface ethernet 1/9 
N5548-Bottom(config-if)#

Please note that spanning tree port type is changed to "network" port type on vPC peer-
link.   
This will enable spanning tree Bridge Assurance on vPC peer-link provided the STP Bridge 
Assurance(which is enabled by default) is not disabled.
