Cisco virtual Port Channel (vPC) by Arash Deljoo

vPC (Virtual Port-Channel), also known as multichassis EtherChannel (MEC) is a feature on the Cisco Nexus switches that provides the ability to configure a Port-Channel across multiple switches (i.e. vPC peers).

vPC is similar to Virtual Switch System (VSS) on the Catalyst 6500s. However, the key difference between vPC and VSS is that VSS creates a single logical switch. This results in a single control plane for both management and configuration purposes. Whereas with vPC each switch is managed and configured independently.

It is important to remember that with vPC both switches are managed independently. This means you will need to create and permit your VLANs on both Nexus switches.

In the Cisco vPC ( virtual Port Channel ) course , I have explained about :

vPC – virtual Port Channel Introduction

vPC – virtual Port Channel Components

vPC – virtual Port Channel Configuration

vPC – virtual Port Channel Device Role

vPC – virtual Port Channel Data-Plane Loop Avoidance

vPC – virtual Port Channel Deployment Scenarios

vPC – Double-Sided virtual Port Channel

vPC –  Best Practices for Building a vPC Domain

vPC – Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) Protocol

vPC – Peer Keepalive Link

vPC – Peer Link

vPC – Object Tracking

vPC – Member Port

You can implement the scenarios of this course in EVE-NG Emulator.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
