I have followed every piece of cisco documentation I could find on this and I still can't get vPC configured to actually work. The VLANs stay in a suspended state so no traffic flows across. Below is my configuration:
vrf context management
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.86.0.1
vlan 1
vlan 86
name I.S_Infrastructure
vpc domain 1
role priority 1000
peer-keepalive destination 10.86.0.4
interface Vlan1
interface Vlan86
no shutdown
description I.S._Infrastructure
ip address 10.86.0.1/24
interface port-channel1
switchport mode trunk
vpc peer-link
spanning-tree port type normal
interface Ethernet1/1
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode active
interface Ethernet1/2
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode active
interface Ethernet1/3
description Connection to Mgmt0
switchport access vlan 86
speed 1000
interface mgmt0
ip address 10.86.0.3/24
Solved! Go to Solution.

This change this to "spanning-tree port type network"
interface port-channel1
switchport mode trunk
vpc peer-link
spanning-tree port type normal
Let me know, if that resolve your issue.
Thanks

Still nothing. When I remove the vPC configuration and just use the port channel to trunk the vlans, both 5k's can see each other. Once I put the vPC config on I get nothing.
switch# show vpc
Legend:
(*) - local vPC is down, forwarding via vPC peer-link
vPC domain id : 1
Peer status : peer link is down
(peer-keepalive not operational,
peer never alive)
vPC keep-alive status : Suspended (Destination IP not reachable)
Configuration consistency status: failed
Per-vlan consistency status : success
Configuration consistency reason: Consistency Check Not Performed
Type-2 consistency reason : Consistency Check Not Performed
vPC role : none established
Number of vPCs configured : 0
Peer Gateway : Disabled
Dual-active excluded VLANs : -
Graceful Consistency Check : Disabled (due to peer configuration)
vPC Peer-link status

switch#

Assign the port-channel1 to vrf "management"
interface port-channel1
switchport mode trunk
vpc peer-link
spanning-tree port type network
vrf memeber management

Hello rizwanr74
These commands that you suggest are disruptive ? they mean any big impact inside the nexus ?

I don't see the command "vrf member management" under my port channel. I do see it under mgmt0 but that had no affect on my problem.

Beside the peer-link is using the wrong port type (should be network). The other problem is the peer keepalive is not up:
Peer status: peer link is down (peer-keepalive not operational, peer never alive)
Can you ping 10.86.0.4 vrf management?

Thanks for the help everyone. Since this is new to me, I didn't know I couldn't plug the mgmt0 interface back into the 5548 and expect it to talk...So i used an external switch to provide communicaiton for mgmt0. That solved the whole problem.

It was good to hear that things worked out for you.
Please rate any helpful post, this might be become a helpful dip for someone else.
thanks
