350-601 Network Practice Question
When troubleshooting a VXLAN EVPN fabric with Cisco Nexus 9000 switches, which three commands provide information about the EVPN operation? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between configuration commands (like 'show running-config interface nve1') and operational verification commands (like 'show nve peers'), leading candidates to mistakenly select configuration-only outputs as evidence of EVPN operation.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
show bgp l2vpn evpn summary.
The 'show bgp l2vpn evpn summary' command is correct because it displays the BGP session status for the L2VPN address family, which is the control plane protocol for VXLAN EVPN. This command shows neighbor states, prefixes received, and route table statistics, directly indicating whether EVPN route exchange is operational.
