Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID, legacy) — Question 62

Which statement about VLANs configured in FabricPath mode on a Cisco Nexus 7000 switch is true?

Answer options

• A. They use classical MAC learning by default.
• B. FabricPath VLANs requires 802.1Q trunks for forwarding.
• C. VLANs configured for FabricPath can exist only on F-Series line cards.
• D. The forwarding engine uses any M-Series line cards present in the switch for MAC proxy forwarding.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because VLANs configured for FabricPath are indeed restricted to F-Series line cards, which are designed for this specific mode. Options A and B are incorrect as FabricPath does not rely on classical MAC learning and does not require 802.1Q trunks. Option D is also incorrect since the forwarding engine does not use M-Series line cards for MAC proxy forwarding in FabricPath mode.
