Figure 7.
As in the four-NIC design, you could use a single PortChannel in vPC-HM with all six NICs participating.
Implementing this design with six NICs may be less than ideal. If flow-based hashing is selected, each subgroup and
associated EtherChannel on its respective access switch would contain an uneven number of links to hash between,
which can lead to suboptimal load distribution.
