The command “show install all impact epld bootflash:n9000-epld.6.1.2.13.1.img” is used to display the impact of the EPLD (Electronic Programmable Logic Device) upgrade on the operation of the Cisco Nexus 9000 series switch. This command does not perform the upgrade; instead, it provides a report that shows what the upgrade would affect if it were to be executed. This is useful for planning and ensuring that the upgrade will not disrupt critical services or operations on the switch. References :=

Option C is the correct command to make an XML backup of Cisco UCS Manager. The command creates a backup file named “all-config9.bak” that contains all system and service profiles configuration. The command also specifies the protocol as SCP (Secure Copy Protocol), which transfers the backup file using an authenticated and encrypted tunnel. References:

The Cisco UCS Python SDK (D) is a set of Python libraries that provide a method for automating the configuration and management of Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) hardware. It allows network administrators to write custom scripts or develop applications to manage UCS environments programmatically. In the context of creating a Django self-service portal for VLAN automation, the UCS Python SDK would be used to interact with the UCS Manager’s API, enabling the automation of VLAN creation and other tasks1.

References: The use of the Cisco UCS Python SDK for automating tasks in UCS Manager is discussed in Cisco’s official blogs and community forums, where examples and best practices can be found12. The SDK provides a more direct and tailored approach for UCS automation compared to other tools, making it suitable for integration with custom Django applications.

The Peer Gateway feature on Cisco Nexus switches is designed to address the exact scenario described. When enabled, it allows the vPC peer switches to forward traffic based on the SVI MAC address, even if it is not the HSRP MAC address. This is particularly useful in cases where end devices do not use the HSRP virtual MAC address for the gateway and instead use the physical MAC address of one of the HSRP routers1. By using the Peer Gateway feature, both N9K_1 and N9K_2 will be able to forward traffic for VLAN 23, ensuring that the packets are not dropped due to the vPC loop prevention mechanism123.

References: = This information is supported by Cisco’s documentation on Nexus 5500 Platform Layer 3 and vPC Operations, which explains the use of the peer-gateway command to allow Layer 3 forwarding in scenarios where the destination MAC of the incoming packet is the MAC of its vPC peer switch1. Additionally, discussions in the Cisco Community confirm the necessity of this feature when certain devices on the network do not properly send traffic to the MAC address specified in the ARP234
