vPC Redundancy Models – Dual Chassis
MCEC from server to the
access switch
vPC provides two redundancy designs for the virtualized access switch
Option 1 - MCEC connectivity from the server
Two virtualized access switches bundled into a vPC pair
Full redundancy for supervisor, line card, cable or NIC failure
Logically a similar HA model to that currently provided by VSS
vPC peers

Multi-core processors taxing available memory
Scaling requires either
More servers: more power, licensing, networking, points of
