A financial firm is deploying a new Cisco HyperFlex cluster for a VDI environment. The design requires that the Fabric Interconnects (FIs) do not participate in the upstream network's Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) domain and that all north-south traffic is pinned to specific uplinks based on vNIC policies. Which Fabric Interconnect operation mode is required to meet these design goals?
A data center architect needs to design an iSCSI storage solution for a VMware ESXi cluster connected to Nexus 9000 switches. A key requirement is to provide load balancing and high availability for the iSCSI paths without relying on complex switch-side configurations like port-channels. Which iSCSI feature should be implemented on the ESXi hosts to achieve this?
A network engineer is tasked with automating the deployment of VLANs and VRFs on a fleet of Nexus 9000 switches running NX-OS. The automation tool of choice is Ansible. The requirement is to use a method that ensures the switch configuration matches the state defined in the Ansible playbook, automatically adding or removing configurations as needed. Which type of Ansible module is best suited for this declarative, state-based management approach?
When designing a VXLAN EVPN multi-site architecture, what is the primary function of the Border Gateway (BGW) nodes? (Select TWO)
True or False: In a Cisco UCS environment, a vNIC template can be configured with a MAC address pool, but a vHBA template must have its WWNN/WWPN addresses assigned manually for each service profile.
An e-commerce company is experiencing inconsistent application performance. Analysis reveals that during traffic bursts, high-priority Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) storage traffic is being dropped on the Nexus converged network switches, while lower-priority management traffic is unaffected. The architect has determined that the Quality of Service (QoS) configuration is inadequate. The current infrastructure uses a single default class for all traffic. To resolve the issue, a new QoS policy must be designed. The primary requirement is to guarantee a minimum bandwidth for FCoE traffic and ensure it is treated as lossless. All other traffic types should share the remaining bandwidth. Which QoS design approach is most appropriate to meet these requirements?
A data center network is being designed with two Nexus 93180YC-EX switches intended to act as a vPC pair for server connectivity. The design must ensure that if the primary vPC peer fails, the secondary peer can continue forwarding traffic for its locally connected servers without interruption. Which vPC feature must be enabled on both peers to allow the secondary peer to forward traffic destined to the vPC virtual MAC address?
A designer is planning a storage network using Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects. The requirement is to connect to an existing Fibre Channel SAN. The Fabric Interconnects must connect to the upstream FC switches and appear as a standard host device, not as an FC switch. Which port mode should be configured on the Fabric Interconnect's unified ports for this purpose?
When designing a Cisco Intersight Cloud Orchestrator (ICO) workflow, what is the primary purpose of a 'Rollback Workflow'?
A consultant is designing an active/active data center solution using VXLAN EVPN. A key requirement is to allow a virtual machine to move from a host in DC1 to a host in DC2 while retaining its IP address and maintaining active connections. Which two technologies are essential to this design? (Select TWO)
