Validation of a virtual port channel (VPC) endpoint in the network fabric

A system comprising:

• at least one computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions;
• a processor programmed to cooperate with the instructions to perform operations comprising:
• retrieving, from a first leaf node in a network, first endpoint information for a first set of endpoints connected to the first leaf node;
• retrieving, from a second leaf node in the network, second endpoint information for a second set of endpoints connected to the second leaf node;
• comparing a first endpoint identifier and a first endpoint flag status within the first endpoint information with a second endpoint identifier and a second endpoint flag status within the second endpoint information;
• and
• identifying, based on the comparing, an inconsistency when the first endpoint identifier and the second endpoint identifier match and the first endpoint flag status and the second endpoint flag status do not match.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions stored therein instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• retrieving, from a first leaf node in a network, first endpoint information for a first set of endpoints connected to the first leaf node;
• retrieving, from a second leaf node in the network, second endpoint information for a second set of endpoints connected to the second leaf node;
• comparing a first endpoint identifier and a first endpoint flag status within the first endpoint information with a second endpoint identifier and a second endpoint flag status within the second endpoint information;
• and
• identifying, based on the comparing, an inconsistency when the first endpoint identifier and the second endpoint identifier match and the first endpoint flag status and the second endpoint flag status do not match.
