Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 56

An engineer enables the HSRP feature on a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch. It must be ensured that the switch manages packets that are sent to the local vPC MAC address, remote vPC MAC address, and HSRP virtual MAC address.

Which command accomplishes this goal?

Answer options

• A. peer-switch
• B. peer-gateway
• C. map-server
• D. hsrp preempt

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct command 'peer-gateway' ensures that the switch can manage the packets sent to the local and remote vPC MAC addresses along with the HSRP virtual MAC address. The 'peer-switch' command is used for vPC configurations but does not address HSRP packet management, while 'map-server' is not relevant to HSRP, and 'hsrp preempt' pertains to HSRP operation but does not handle packet routing.
