A storage administrator receives reports of network delays when database software attempts to access the storage array. The virtual machines that host the database software are installed on different rack servers connected to the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect domain. The existing SAN switches are connected to the Fabric Interconnects using two 8 Gb port-channel interfaces to connect the storage array.

What influences the number of ISLs that are required between Cisco MDS Series switches?
Which type of encoding is used on 8-Gbps links as compared to 10-Gbps links?
A customer requires a tool to manage Cisco network hardware. The solution must use secure communication using a secure network protocol, support the use of declarative language to manage the state of resources, and periodically pull changes to the controlled nodes. Which tool meets these requirements?
An engineer configured the OSPF protocol in the vPC topology. During the catastrophic failure of one of the vPC the member switches, the traffic was routed to a black hole. This route was caused by the long convergence time caused by the delay of the of the vPC member switch reboot. After the failure, the engineer rebooted both switches, but the secondary switch powered on before the primary one. It caused all the vPCs to be shut down due to consistency-check violations. Which two features must be used to prevent these situations from happening in the future? (Choose two.)
Which authentication software natively runs within the CLI of Cisco NX-OS devices?
An engineer is implementing a Cisco UCS environment The requirements for the solution are for the MAC addresses to be learned only on the server-facing ports. The use of the Spanning Tree Protocol must be avoided. Also, the engineer must have deterministic traffic handling from blades to uplink ports.
Which two settings must be selected to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
A network design must include a solution to run CLI commands remotely on Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches. The customer's security policy requires secure login credentials and an encrypted underlying transport. The command output will be processed using tools that support XML or JSON encoding. Which two components should be included in the design? (Choose two.)
An ACI deployment must:
Which VRF configuration must be used?
An engineer must configure an interface for managing and orchestrating a Cisco Nexus device. The interface must be operational if the data and control planes crash, support IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, and have been access to its own VRF instance. Which interface should be used to meet these requirements?
An engineer is operating data center environment that hosts data-intensive financial applications. The applications are mostly processing HTTP/HTTPS data with large data segments, which results in a CPU contention due to the significant network processing.
Which set of the Ethernet adapter policies must be selected to resolve the issue?
A network consultant reviews the requirements for the Storage Area Network (SAN) design. The proposed solution must offer a very efficient port usage and eliminate the need for a separate physical layer of switches and their associated ISLs. The design is not expected to require future expansion.
Which SAN topology must be used to meet these requirements?
Drag and drop the technologies from the left onto the correct descriptions on the right.
A data center uses Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch and contains two tenants, tenant A and tenant B.
The engineer must implement a solution that
Which two technologies meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
An engineer designs a Cisco UCS solution that must provide guaranteed and deterministic bandwidth to a specific server in the environment. The solution must apply to network and storage traffic of C-Series and B-Series servers. Which solution should be included to meet these requirements?
A customer deploys 32 virtualization hosts in a Cisco UCS domain. All hosts run in the same cluster and have Identical hardware specifications. The operating system requires that all firmware is consistent across the hosts (or driver support. The customer must provision additional interfaces later for expandability. Which feature of Cisco UCS Manager meets these requirements?
An engineer must design a solution to divide the workload across two different data centers and achieve redundancy in case of the failure of either data center Which solution must the engineer choose?
A customer wants to deploy a Layer 2 extension over a transport infrastructure for multiple data centers. The data center technology should support a localized Layer 3 gateway, a separate flooding domain, and STP isolation per data center. Which DCI technology meets these requirements?
An engineer must develop a Python tool to automate software upgrades of both data center and non-data center devices. All devices offer a RESTful API and require a JSON or XML payload Vendor-specific libraries must be avoided. Which library must the engineer choose?
Refer to the exhibit. A Cisco engineer is configuring a customer scenario with 2 x MDS 9000 switches 24 x UCS B200M6 blade servers. UCS 64S4 Fabric Interconnect in end-host mode and 3 x UCS 5108 server chassis with 2408 Fabric Extenders The engineer installs 6 x SQL Server 2019 on all blades and then notices that there are read and write latencies What is the best way to balance the utilization across the shared ports?
A Cisco engineer is configuring MPLS VPN BGP at a customer site that is connected to the provider site by more than one path MPLS VPN BGP Local Convergence link protection is enabled.

What is a prerequisite for this local convergence to work?
A company has several data centers with hundreds of Cisco UCS blade chassis. A network consultant plans to active Cisco Discovery Protocol to the servers to facilitate Layer 1 troubleshooting.
