Level 1

Hi.. I have been running nexus 9396 switches in VPC, what I am seeing strange here is primary nexus switch has no option to set enable secret but this option is available on secondary nexus. I don't know what is problem here why I am not able to set enable secret on primary nexus.

This is working for Secondary nexus.
