Refer to the exhibit.
Which three statements describe the use of the vPC peer link in this topology? (Choose three.)
A. The peer link is used for synchronizing MAC addresses between SW1 and SW2.
B. The peer link is used for control plane traffic only.
C. The peer link provides necessary transport for multicast traffic.
D. The peer link is used for the communication of orphaned ports.
E. The peer link does not prevent the loops in the topology.
F. The peer link always consists of two 10GB ports in a port-channel.
Correct Answer: ACD

Explanation:
The peer link, also known as the multichassis EtherChannel trunk (MCT), connects the vPC peer switches. The peer link is always forwarding. The bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) or Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) packets that are received by the secondary vPC peer on a vPC port are forwarded to the primary vPC peer through the peer link for processing.
The peer link is used to synchronize the MAC addresses of the vPC peer switches to provide the necessary transport for multicast traffic. It is also used for forwarding traffic that originates at, or is destined for, orphan ports (that is, a non-vPC port).
