Which two statements about troubleshooting common ARP forwarding issues ma Cisco ACI Fabric are true? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AIf IPManager On the spine rejected a tenant VRF/route configuration, the spine command show ip route vrf <vrf name> can be used to verify all tenant VRF configurations.
• BThe BD SVI IP address can be verified with the vsh_ _lc show platform internal ns forwarding router-ip command.
• CThe tcpdum command can be used on all Cisco ACI switches to capture and verify tenant EPGdata plan traffic.
• DThe VLAN membership for an interface on the Broadcom ASIC can be verified with the show hardware plans programmed command.
• EVLAN membership of an interface can be vended wrth the VSh_IC show system Internal eltme Info interface x/x command.

• B
  9% (3)
• C
  83% (29)
• D
  6% (2)
• E
  3% (1)

Explanation

tcpdump is natively available on Cisco ACI leaf and spine switches because they run a Linux-based OS underneath NX-OS. This makes it a legitimate and effective tool for capturing data-plane traffic from tenant EPGs directly on the fabric, making C correct.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is misleading: show ip route vrf <name> on a spine shows routes for that specific VRF, not "all tenant VRF configurations" - and if IPManager rejected the configuration, it wouldn't appear in the routing table at all, defeating the purpose.
• B contains a garbled command path (vsh_ _lc). The real command uses vsh_lc (line card shell) without extra spaces or underscores; the syntax error alone makes this statement false as written.
• D is incorrect because show hardware plans programmed is not a valid ACI ASIC verification command. The correct approach for Broadcom ASIC VLAN verification uses line-card-specific internal commands.
• E uses VSh_IC instead of the correct vsh_lc, and "eltme" is a misspelling of eltm (Encap and VLAN Table Manager). Command typos in ACI troubleshooting = wrong answers.

Memory tip: In ACI, the Linux layer is always underneath - think "Linux tools (tcpdump) always work because ACI = NX-OS on Linux." For the distractors, watch for command typos and overly broad claims (like "all VRFs") - they're the exam's tell that the statement is false.

Note: The question says "Choose two" but only one correct answer (C) is provided - your source may have a typo or missing second answer. On the actual exam, expect a second valid option.
