VPC Groups

vPC groups can be named according to a naming convention defined once, without having to specify a name for every group. The following placeholders can be used when defining the naming convention:

• \\g<switch1_id>: gets replaced by the respective node ID of the first leaf
• \\g<switch2_id>: gets replaced by the respective node ID of the second leaf

Location in GUI: Fabric » Access Policies » Policies » Switch » Virtual Port Channel default
