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 vrf
The 'show vrf' command displays a summary of all VRFs, including their RD and interfaces, while 'show ip vrf interfaces' lists each VRF with its associated interfaces and IP addresses. The other options are incorrect: 'show ip route vrf' shows the routing table for a specific VRF but not the interfaces, 'show running-config | section vrf' shows configuration but not operational status, and 'show ip interface brief' does not display VRF information.
