Much like the access interface you modified and deployed in the previous section, this section focuses on creating a brand new, logical, interface. In this case, a vPC interface from your Site1-L1 and Site1-L2 vPC pairs. These steps can be repeated or further automated for any number of vPC interfaces that need to be created. For this lab, you will create one to understand the simplicty in the workflow, but it should be noted since these switches reside inside of a CML environment, the vPC interface will not actually come up.

Step 1 - Clear Previous Filter

Clear the filter used in the previous section by:

1. clicking the small on your filter parameter

Step 2 - Launch Create Interface Wizard

With the filter cleared in preparation for applying another one later, it's time for you to create an interface:

1. Click Actions on the far right
2. Click Create Interface in the dropdown menu

Step 3 - Populate Create Interface Wizard for a vPC Interface

The Create Interface wizard supports creating many different types of interfaces and is dynamic in what is displayed to you based on the interface type selected.

1. Set the Type to virtual Port-Channel (vPC)
2. The vPC pair should already be set to Site1-L1--Site1-L2
3. Leave the vPC ID set to 1
4. Click Enable Config Mirrowing
5. Locate the Peer-1 Member Interfaces. Set the interface to eth1/6
6. Click Save




7. Then click Deploy

Step 4 - Deploy Interface Configuration

After clicking Deploy, NDFC launches the Deploy interfaces configuration wizard. Review the pending configuration as desired. Once done:

1. Click Deploy Config in the bottom right


You will see the intended vPC interface configuration start being deployed for Port-Channel 1 (that is a vPC) with the Ethernet1/6 interface on Site1-L1 and Site2-L1 as members.

Step 5 - Exit Create Interface

Upon the interface configuration being successfully deployed, NDFC will redirect you back to the Create interface wizard.

1. Click the at the top right to close the Create interface wizard

Step 6 - Review vPC is Created

Back at the main Interfaces overview, locate the vPC1 interface for Site1-L1 and Site1-L2 by using the filter option at the top. Again, for this lab, the vPC interface will remain down, but show consistent between Site1-L1 and Site1-L2. This process demonstrates how you would create a vPC interface.
1. In the filter box type Interface == vPC1
2. Review the vPC1 interface you created
3. Clear the filter box by clicking the small on your filter parameter

Continue to the next section to start creating your first overlay with a new VRF in your Site1 Greenfield fabric.
