Use this command to manually configure the MAC address for the VPC domain. The VPC MAC address should be configured same on both the peer devices. The specified MAC address should be a unicast MAC address in
<aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff> format and cannot be equal to the MAC address of either the primary VPC or secondary VPC device. The configured VPC MAC address is exchanged during role election and, if they are configured differently on the peer devices, VPC does not become operational.
The mac-address is used in the LACP PDUs and STP BPDUs that are sent out on VPC member ports, if VPC primary device election takes place after the VPC MAC address is configured. When the VPC MAC address is configured after the VPC primary device is elected, the operational VPC MAC address is used in the LACP PDUs and STP BPDUs instead of the configured VPC MAC address.
