Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for validating endpoint information for nodes in a network. A network assurance appliance is configured to retrieve, from a first leaf node in a network, first endpoint information for a first set of endpoints connected to the first leaf node, wherein the first set of endpoints includes a virtual port channel (VPC) endpoint. The network assurance appliance retrieves second endpoint information from a second node in the network, compares the first endpoint information with the second endpoint information, and identifies an inconsistency when the first endpoint information and the second endpoint information do not match.
