Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH, legacy) — Question 75

What is an advantage of using the vPC feature in a data center environment?

Answer options

• A. VSS is a requirement.
• B. Multiple instances of control plane are formed.
• C. The control plane and management plane remain separate.
• D. Cisco FabricPath technology does not have to be configured.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because vPC allows for the separation of the control plane and management plane, enhancing network reliability. Option A is incorrect as VSS is not a requirement for vPC. Option B is misleading since vPC does not create multiple control plane instances but allows for redundancy. Option D is also wrong as vPC can utilize FabricPath, but it is not a requirement to use it.
