Step 1
Selects the port channel that you want to put into the vPC to
connect to the downstream switch, and enters the interface
configuration mode.
switch(config)# interface
port-channel channel-number
Step 2
A vPC can be configured on a normal port channel
(physical vPC topology), on an port channel fabric
interface (fabric extender vPC topology), and on an
port channel host interface (host interface vPC
topology)
