Nexus vPC | Routing over vPC

Let me tell you a sad story...

Some time ago, I ran into a problem. I was in the data centre all night and nearly pulled my hair out in frustration. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get vPC to work with #OSPF or #EIGRP

Let me save you this pain, and show you the pitfall of routing over #vPC, and how to avoid it, using layer-3 peer-router

This video is particularly helpful to network engineers working with vPC in production.

Also useful for CCNP Data Center, and CCIE Data Center



Part 1: How vPC Works - vPC adds redundancy to the data centre, while avoiding the older technologies like spanning-tree. See how it fits into your solution, and parts under the hood

Part 2: vPC Configuration - Now you know how vPC works, you can start configuring. See how it's done by watching live config on real Nexus switches

Part 3: Routing over vPC - Be careful! There are pitfalls when running routing protocols over vPC! I fell into one of these myself. See how you can avoid this
