Implementing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCII, legacy) — Question 18

Using the default VDC high-availability options in the Cisco Nexus 7010 switch, which event occurs after a VDC failure?

Answer options

• A. VDC restart occurs.
• B. The VDC is deleted.
• C. VDC bringdown occurs, and the VDC must be restarted manually.
• D. VDC shutdown occurs, and the VDC must be restarted manually.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because, in the event of a VDC failure, the default behavior is for the VDC to shut down, requiring a manual intervention to restart it. Option A is incorrect because a VDC restart does not happen automatically. Option B is wrong as the VDC is not deleted upon failure, and Option C partially describes the situation but misses the fact that it specifically indicates a shutdown, not just a bringdown.
