 To ensure that vPC and non-vPC switches receive the same STP bridge ID from the upstream vPC switch peers, the engineer must implement the peer-switch feature on the vPC domain. The peer-switch feature allows the two vPC peer switches to act as a single logical switch for STP purposes, and to use the same bridge ID and priority. This way, the downstream switches will see the vPC peer switches as a single STP root, and will not have any STP loops or inconsistencies. The peer-switch feature also improves the convergence time and reduces the number of STP instances required in the network. References :=

 The requirements specify the need for two-factor authentication and encrypted AAA packets using TCP port 49, which is the default port for TACACS+. TACACS+ provides additional security features suitable for two-factor authentication, unlike LDAP. Therefore, removing the LDAP provider and creating a TACACS+ provider in user management would fulfill these requirements.

 to configure FCoE between the N9K-A switch and the FCF-A Nexus 9000 core switch with the given characteristics, the correct configuration would be the one that enables FCoE NPV mode, binds the interface to a port-channel, and allows only VSAN 20 on the trunk. Based on the provided CLI configurations, the correct answer would be Option D as it configures the switch in NPV mode and allows only VSAN 20

 To install an operating system on a LUN provided by the Fibre Channel storage array, the engineer needs to configure the boot policy to include a SAN Boot Target with a WWPN (World Wide Port Name). This ensures that the server can communicate with the specific LUN on the storage array during the boot process. Additionally, adding Local CD/DVD and SAN Boot in the boot policy provides flexibility for installation sources, ensuring that both local and networked storage options are available during boot. References := Cisco Data Center Core Technologies source documents or study guide
