M1 Module XL Series licenses
The M1 modules use non-XL table sizes by default. A Scalable Feature license is required per chassis to enable XL table sizes. When scalability license is applied, all line modules have to be of the XL type. A mix of modules drops overall FIB size to nonXL size This behavior is per VDC, so non XL modules may not affect XL modules in other VDCs License Features

Virtual Port Channel - vPC

vPC is a Port-channeling concept extending link aggregation to two separate physical switches Allows the creation of resilient L2 topologies based on Link Aggregation. Eliminates the need for STP in the access-distribution Provides increased bandwidth All links are actively forwarding vPC maintains independent control planes Supported on both M-series and F-series modules
