What is vPC and what are its benefits?

A. Virtual PortChannel (vPC) is a port-channeling concept that extends link aggregation to two separate physical switches.

Benefits of vPC include:

      • Utilizes all available uplink bandwidth
      • Allows the creation of resilient Layer 2 topologies based on link aggregation
      • Eliminates the dependence of Spanning Tree Protocol in Layer 2 access distribution layer(s)
      • Enables transparent server mobility and server high availability (HA) clusters
      • Scales available Layer 2 bandwidth
      • Simplifies network design
      • Dual-homed servers can operate in active-active mode
      • Faster convergence upon link failure
      • Improves convergence time when a single device fails
      • Reduces capex and opex
