  4. Question 4

    Q4Multiple answers

    A network engineer must run a core Cisco Nexus 9500 Series Switch as a POAP server for all top-of-rack Cisco Nexus switches. Which two network functions must run to provide the POAP service? (Choose two.) A.DNSB.PXEC.BOOTPD.TFTPE.DHCP

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answers: D, E

  5. Question 5

    Q5

    A storage administrator is preparing to deploy a new Cisco MDS 9700 Series Switch. The security policy mandates that the switch must validate the authenticity of the hardware anchor and the software microloader before loading the operating system. Which technology provides this capability to prevent counterfeit hardware and software tampering?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: A

    Cisco Secure Boot is the technology that ensures the integrity of the device by validating the hardware anchor (a tamper-resistant chip) and the microloader before the BIOS or OS loads. This establishes a chain of trust from the hardware up to the OS.

  6. Question 6

    Q6

    You are configuring PowerOn Auto Provisioning (POAP) for a large-scale MDS deployment. The switches are in a dedicated management network. Which DHCP option must be configured on the DHCP server to provide the Python script path to the booting MDS switches?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: D

    While Option 150 is common for TFTP IPs, POAP specifically looks for the script name. The bootfile name is provided via Option 67 (Bootfile Name) in standard DHCP/BOOTP operations, which POAP utilizes to identify the script to download.

  7. Question 7

    Q7

    During the initial setup of a Cisco MDS 9000 switch using the setup utility, you are prompted to enable the 'fc-admin' account. What is the primary function of this specific account in the MDS architecture?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    The fc-admin account (or role) is designed for VSAN-based administration, allowing a user to manage specific VSANs without having full 'admin' or 'network-admin' privileges over the entire chassis.

  8. Question 8

    Q8Multiple answers

    An architect is designing an N-Port Virtualization (NPV) solution using Cisco MDS 9000 Series switches. Which TWO statements accurately describe the requirements and behavior of NPV mode? (Select TWO)

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answers: B, D

    For the NPV switch to log in multiple end devices through the same uplink, the core switch must support and have NPIV enabled to assign multiple FCIDs on a single port.

    Enabling NPV mode (feature npv) is a disruptive action that reboots the switch and purges the current configuration to convert it from switching mode to NPV mode.
