VPC Protection Groups
VPC Protection Groups follow a similar suit. The leaf names are utilized and a manual Logical pair ID is assigned.
| VPC Group Name | Switch IDs | Logical Pair ID |
| <leaf-name>-<node-id1>-<node-id2>_vPCGrp | <node-id1>,<node-id2> | 1 |
| <leaf-name>-<node-id3>-<node-id4>_vPCGrp | <node-id3>,<node-id4> | 2 |
| <leaf-name>-<node-id5>-<node-id6>_vPCGrp | <node-id5>,<node-id6> | 3 |

Good luck with your Cisco ACI deployments!
