8.2 Create a SmartFabric
See Section 7.2 for the steps to create a SmartFabric for the environment.
8.3 Verify configuration
This section covers the validation of the Cisco Nexus 3232C leaf switches. For information about the
MX9116n FSE validation commands, see Section 7.3.1.
8.3.1 show vpc
The show vpc command validates the vPC configuration status. The peer adjacency should be OK, with the
peer show as alive. The end of the command shows which VLANs are active across the vPC.
NX3232C-Leaf1# show vpc
Legend:
(*) - local vPC is down, forwarding via vPC peer-link
vPC domain id : 255
Peer status : peer adjacency formed ok
vPC keep-alive status : peer is alive
Configuration consistency status : success
