Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH, legacy) — Question 22

When designing data centers for multitenancy, which two benefits are provided by the implementation of VSANs and zoning? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Zones provide the ability to create many logical SAN fabrics on a single Cisco MDS 9100 family switch.
• B. VSANs have their own set of services and address space, which prevents an issue in one VSAN from affecting others.
• C. VSANs and zones use separate fabrics.
• D. Zones allow an administrator to control which initiators can see which targets.
• E. VSAN provides a means of restricting visibility and connectivity among devices connected to a zone.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answer includes B and D because VSANs have unique services and address spaces that isolate issues, while zoning controls access between initiators and targets. Options A and C are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the benefits of multitenancy, and E, while related, does not address the specific benefits of zoning in this context.
