Nexus 9K vPC shows peer link down but port-channel is up

FEI
Level 1
Level 1

Hi everyone, 

Need some help here...

I am configuring vPC between two Nexus 9K, C93240YC-FX2. Port-channel 10 is the vPC peer link and is up. However, "show vpc" shows peer link is down. I have tried to re-configure vpc, port-channel, shut/un-shut vpc, shut/un-shut port-channel, reboot both N9Ks, but nothing worked to bring up vPC. 

Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,

Fei.

Below are show output from both N9Ks.

Hi @FEI ,

 

Looks like you have different vpc system-priority and it can cause you vpc not working.

refer to this link https://community.cisco.com/t5/data-center-and-cloud-knowledge-base/purpose-and-usage-of-virtual-port-channel-vpc-system-priority/ta-p/3161473

In short, vpc system priority must be same for both vpc node in the domain

Thank you, yes, the different VPC system priority wass the cause.

Please check below.

You are correct' I confuse between role and system priority. 

For normal lacp we can config different but I see cisco doc. About the system priority for lacp (not role priority for vpc) must be same.

Did you config keep-alive link?
