350-601 Network Practice Question
Which NX-OS command is used to display the consistency status of Virtual Port Channel (vPC) parameters across both vPC peers?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between 'show vpc brief' (which shows operational status) and 'show vpc consistency-parameters' (which shows configuration alignment), leading candidates to mistakenly choose the former when asked about parameter consistency.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
show vpc consistency-parameters
The 'show vpc consistency-parameters' command is specifically designed to verify that all required VPC configuration parameters (such as allowed VLANs, STP settings, and port-channel modes) are identical on both VPC peers. Inconsistent parameters can cause VPC traffic disruption or failover issues, and this command provides a detailed per-interface or global consistency check.

show vpc peer-keepalive
Why it's wrong here
This shows peer keepalive status, not consistency.

show vpc brief
Why it's wrong here
This shows a summary of vPC status, not detailed consistency.
- ✗
show running-config vpc
Why it's wrong here
This shows configuration but not consistency parameters.
