After a specific failure of the virtual peer-link the tunnel used to traverse CFS traffic may fail to recover after the virtual peer-link is brought back up. The virtual peer-link shows "UP" but no VLANS forwarding over the peer-link and CFS traffic does not make it through the tunnel.

VxLAN deployment utilizing virtual peer-link within the vPC domain.
Flapping the uplinks that are used to build the virtual peer-link will force the virtual peer-link to re-initialize and should recover from this state. If flapping the uplinks does not recover the peer-link, a reload is required.
This issue can be seen after the route to the vPC peer's loopback IP used to build the virtual peer-link is removed and then re-installed into the routing table. In some cases it takes a single remove/re-install of the route and in other cases it requires multiple remove/re-installs of the route to introduce this state.
