Viewing a vPC 

</h1>
<a name="wp1338321"> </a><p class="pBody">
The virtual port channel (vPC) feature enables you to view the links that are physically connected to 
different devices as a single port channel. A vPC is an extended form of a port channel which allows you 
to create redundancy and increase bisectional bandwidth by enabling multiple parallel paths between 
nodes and allowing load balancing traffic. Traffic is distributed among two single device vPC end points. 
If there is an inconsistency in the vPC configurations, the vPC does not function correctly. 

</p>
<a name="wp1338322"> </a><p class="pBody">
The Cisco DCNM Web Client helps you to identify the inconsistent vPCs and resolve the inconsistencies 
in each vPC or in all vPCs.
