Question
An engineer created three VSANs on the Cisco MDS switch. VSAN 100 is allocated to the marketing department, VSAN 110 is allocated to the research department, and VSAN 120 is allocated to the business department. The engineer wants to verify that the interfaces for the research department are allocated accordingly. Which command should the engineer use?
Options
- Amdsswitch# show vsan 110
- Bmdsswitch# show vsan membership
- Cmdsswitch# show vsan
- Dmdsswitch# show vsan usage

Why each option
The 'show vsan membership' command displays which interfaces are assigned to each VSAN, making it the correct tool to verify interface allocation for a specific department.
The 'show vsan 110' command displays the configuration and operational state of VSAN 110 itself but does not show which interfaces are members of that VSAN.
The 'show vsan membership' command lists all interfaces and their corresponding VSAN assignments across the switch. This directly answers whether the correct interfaces are allocated to VSAN 110 (research department), which is exactly what the engineer needs to verify.
The 'show vsan' command lists all configured VSANs and their states but does not reveal interface-to-VSAN membership assignments.
The 'show vsan usage' command displays which VSAN IDs are allocated or available in the ID space, not which interfaces belong to a given VSAN.
