350-601 Network Practice Question
Which NX-OS command displays the VPC status, including peer-link and consistency parameters?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that 'show vpc brief' or 'show vpc peer-link' alone provide full vPC health details, when in fact only the base 'show vpc' command reveals all critical consistency and peer-link parameters in one view.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
show vpc
The 'show vpc' command (without any keyword) displays the overall Virtual Port Channel (vPC) status, including peer-link status, consistency parameters, and per-VLAN/vPC operational state. This is the most comprehensive single command for verifying vPC health and configuration consistency between peer switches.
