How do you verify you have vPCs configured for Nexus devices?

• A. Run 'show vpc brief' command on the device
• B. Run 'show inventory' command on the device
• C. Use a GUI VLAN summary view
• D. Check the device's running configuration for vPC

Answer: (A)

Verifying vPC configuration on Nexus devices is about checking the actual vPC domain status and its member links. The quickest and clearest way is to run the show vpc brief command. It gives a concise summary of each vPC domain, shows whether the peer-keepalive is up, and lists all member interfaces with their status and role. Seeing a healthy vPC domain with the correct member ports Up confirms that vPC is configured and operating on the switch. Other options don’t directly show the current vPC state as clearly. Inventory only reveals hardware details, not vPC status. A GUI VLAN view may show VLANs but not the precise vPC domain status or member link health. Checking the running configuration can confirm that vPC commands exist and are configured, but it doesn’t provide a quick, at-a-glance health check like show vpc brief does.
