vpc domain 1

Create L3 peer keepalive adjacency between 7K1 and 7K2 

7k1

peer-keepalive destination 10.0.0.1 source 10.0.0.2 vrf default

7k2

peer-keepalive destination 10.0.0.2 source 10.0.0.1 vrf default

Create L2 peer link between 7K1 and 7K2
7K1/2 {peer link}

int e2/25-26

Verification commands

show vpc  {check 'peer adjacency formed ok', and 'peer is alive' over the L3 link. one device will be the vpc primary and other will be secondary.}

show vpc after bringing up  keepalives between management addresses. Note config consistency status is 'failed' as no peer link is configured
 
show vpc after bringing up the peer link



show cfs peers {CFS - Cisco Fabric Services protocol transports configuration synch info across the peer link for VPC} 
show port-channel usage 
show vpc consistency-parameters
N.B. If any consistency checks fail the secondary device will shut down vpc paired interfaces
