Explanation
The peer-gateway command allows each vPC peer to intercept and process packets destined to the MAC address of the other peer (remote vPC MAC) as well as the local and HSRP virtual MAC This prevents the need for such packets to traverse the vPC peer link, reducing unnecessary traffic and avoiding packet drops caused by vPC loop avoidance mechanisms. It effectively enables the Nexus switches in a vPC domain to route packets destined for each other's MAC addresses and for the HSRP virtual MAC, ensuring proper forwarding and load sharing in the presence of HSRP and vPC.
