Troubleshooting DPVM Using the CLI
To troubleshoot DPVM using the CLI, follow these steps:

Optionally, use the dpvm distribute command in config mode to enable CFS distribution if required.
Step 2 Use the show dpvm status command in EXEC mode to verify that autolearning is disabled.
Optionally, use the no dpvm auto-learn command in config mode if you need to disable autolearning
before activating the database.
Step 3 Use the show dpvm pending-diff command in EXEC mode to compare the active and pending
databases.
Optionally use the dpvm commit command in config mode to commit any pending entries to the config
database.
Step 4 Use the dpvm activate command in config mode to activate the database.
