F5 Ether port channel with N7K

We have One Arm configuration, means only one Vlan for Client and Servers, Customer wants to make ether port channel between N7k and F5 ADC to bypass Spanning Tree, What Should be Port configuration on N7K access/ Trunk port ? What should be the Port configuration on F5 access or Trunk ?

      So i assume u are using HSRP with a primay and secondary since you aren't taking advantage of VPC . I would suggest you connect each F5 to both 7ks. You don't have to run VPC for this. Spanning-tree will kill one link.

      If you want to do the design that you are doing. just don't add the VPC to the port-channel interface.
