Data Center Access ArchitecturevPC 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

Two Virtualized access switches Each with a Single Supervisor
