Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID, legacy) — Question 17

Which two statements accurately describe a Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect cluster? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Only the active Fabric Interconnect forwards data traffic.
• B. The Fabric Interconnect cluster uses a Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Server chassis to forward data when the L1-L2 links are down.
• C. The Fabric Interconnect cluster uses a virtual IP address for management connections.
• D. The Fabric Interconnect uses L1-L2 links to forward data when the primary Fabric Interconnect uplinks are down.
• E. When the primary Fabric Interconnect node comes up after a failure, the node compares the Cisco UCS system database version to the standby Fabric

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

Option C is correct because a Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect cluster indeed uses a virtual IP address for management connections, ensuring seamless management access. Option D is also correct as it states that L1-L2 links are utilized for data forwarding when primary uplinks fail. Options A, B, and E are incorrect because they either misrepresent the data forwarding process or the operational checks performed by the Fabric Interconnects.
