Refer to the exhibit. A Cisco engineer is configuring Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches. To simplify initial configuration verification and vPC+/HSRP troubleshooting, the engineer configures the primary vPC+ peer device with the FHRP active router highest priority. The primary FHRP device responds to ARP requests, even though the secondary vPC+ device also forwards the data traffic. Which configuration enables the Layer 3 connectivity from each vPC+ peer device?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Configure a VLAN network interface for the same VLAN from both devices. In a vPC+ and HSRP setup, each vPC+ peer device must have a VLAN network interface (SVI) configured for the shared VLAN, even if only one is the active HSRP router. This ensures that both devices possess the necessary Layer 3 interface to process and forward traffic for that VLAN, allowing Layer 3 connectivity from each peer device as required for routing.

Answer

B. Ensure that the enhanced Layer 2 license has been installed. Ensuring the enhanced Layer 2 license is installed is a prerequisite for certain features but not the specific configuration step that enables Layer 3 connectivity from both vPC+ peers for a given VLAN.

Answer

C. Set a restore timer that delays the vPC+ restart. Setting a restore timer is related to vPC+ operational stability after a restart or failure, not to the fundamental enablement of Layer 3 connectivity from each peer device.

Answer

D. Manually configure virtual MAC addresses for any FHRP protocol. Manually configuring virtual MAC addresses for FHRP protocols provides consistency but does not, in itself, enable Layer 3 routing functionality from each vPC+ peer device; the SVIs are essential for that.
