350-601 Network Practice Question
A network administrator is troubleshooting a vPC pair and needs to verify the operational status of the vPC peer-link. Which NX-OS command displays vPC status including peer-link and member port states?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is that 'show vpc brief' does display the peer-link status (up/down), so candidates may think it provides sufficient information. However, it omits detailed member port states (e.g., individual port channel members and their status), which are essential for verifying operational health. The correct command 'show vpc' includes both peer-link status and per-member port details.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
show vpc
The 'show vpc' command (without any keyword) is the correct choice because it displays comprehensive vPC operational status, including the peer-link state (up/down), member port states, and vPC consistency status. This single command provides a high-level summary of all vPC components, making it the go-to command for initial troubleshooting of vPC peer-link and member port health.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
show vpc brief
Why it's wrong here
The 'show vpc brief' command displays a summary that includes the peer-link status (up/down) and the status of each vPC, but it does not show individual member port states per interface. Therefore, while it partially answers the question, it is not as comprehensive as 'show vpc' for verifying both peer-link and member port states.
- ✗
show vpc consistency-parameters
Why it's wrong here
Shows consistency parameters.
- ✗
show vpc peer-keepalive
Why it's wrong here
Shows only peer-keepalive status.
- ✓
show vpc
Why this is correct
Shows vPC status, peer-link status, and member ports.
