Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID, legacy) — Question 95

Which two options decrease when using a Cisco Unified Fabric Topology as compared to an isolated fabric topology? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. the number of cables required to connect to the pod
• B. the cost of data storage
• C. the cost-per-port of the Fibre Channel switches
• D. the power consumption of each pod
• E. the number of uplinks required on the Fibre Channel director switches

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct answers, D and E, indicate that using a Cisco Unified Fabric Topology leads to lower power consumption per pod and fewer uplinks required on Fibre Channel director switches due to increased efficiency. Options A, B, and C are not directly impacted by the topology change in the same way, making them incorrect choices.
