CCIE Data Center (legacy) — Question 100

A virtual port channel (vPC) allows links that are physically connected to two different Cisco Nexus devices to appear as a single port channel to a third device.
Which are the mandatory steps for configuring vPC? (Choose six.)

Answer options

• A. Enable feature vPC
• B. Define domains
• C. Establish peer keepalive connectivity
• D. Create a peer link
• E. Configure the peer link as a trunk port
• F. Create port channels and vPCs
• G. Define port channel load-balancing method
• H. Make sure configurations are consistent

Correct answer: A, B, C, D, F, H

Explanation

The correct answers (A, B, C, D, F, H) are essential steps for configuring vPC because they establish the necessary features, connectivity, and consistency across Nexus devices. Options E and G, while beneficial, are not mandatory for the basic configuration of vPC, thus making them incorrect choices in this context.
