        POD-0-Leaf-#

  1. Use show nve interface nve 1 to verify the NVE capability and shared vPC VTEP address:

POD-0-Leaf-: 


        POD-0-Leaf-B# show nve interface nve 1
        Interface: nve1, State: Up, encapsulation: VXLAN
         VPC Capability: VPC-VIP-Only [notified]
         Local Router MAC: 64f6.9def.4501
         Host Learning Mode: Control-Plane

        POD-0-Leaf-B#

Save your Nexus 7000 and Nexus 9300 configurations with the copy run start command. For those who are more familiar with the legacy IOS command-set, an alias for wr (to execute “copy running-config startup-config”) has been created on all Nexus 7000s and 9300s in the topology.
