Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID, legacy) — Question 55

You deploy new server infrastructure by using a Cisco UCS platform. Which two design options can you use to increase the redundancy of the new compute solution? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. a 10-Gb uplink port
• B. a pin vNIC in the server profile to a specific Fabric Interconnect node that has failover disabled
• C. an uplink port in a port channel configuration
• D. static pinning at the server ports
• E. more than one server port to connect the Cisco UCS B-Series blade IOM

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

Option B is correct because pinning a vNIC to a specific Fabric Interconnect node with failover disabled limits redundancy, thus making it a poor choice for increasing redundancy. Option E is correct because using multiple server ports for the Cisco UCS B-Series blade IOM provides a failover capability, enhancing the overall redundancy. The other options do not effectively increase redundancy in the same manner.
