Which command can verify the peering authentication status between two ONTAP clusters?

• A. cluster peer show
• B. cluster show
• C. lun mapping show
• D. network status

Answer: (A)

To verify the peering authentication between two ONTAP clusters, you should query the configured peers directly. The command cluster peer show provides the status of the inter-cluster peering, including whether the peer is connected and the authentication/trust status between the clusters. This is the authoritative source for confirming that the two clusters recognize and trust each other, and it can reveal any authentication failures or issues in the peering setup. The other commands don’t focus on the peering authentication: cluster show gives general cluster information, not specifically the peering/auth status; lun mapping show relates to mapping LUNs, not inter-cluster authentication; and network status gives overall network health, not the peering relationship details.
