Command History
Usage Guidelines The show vpc peer-keepalive command displays the destination IP of the peer keepalive message for
the vPC. The command also displays the send and receive status as well as the last update from the peer
in seconds and milliseconds
Note We recommend that you create a separate VRF on the peer devices to send and receive the vPC peer
keepalive messages. Do not use the peer link itself to send the vPC peer-keepalive messages.
This command is not available if you have not enabled the vPC feature. See feature vpc for information
on enabling vPCs.
This command does not require a license.
