Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 13

Which two methods mitigate congestion in a SAN network? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Configure ER_RDY to allow splitting of each ISL between switches into separate virtual links.
• B. Use the port-monitor command to detect slow drain devices.
• C. Configure the port channel to enable individual buffer-to-buffer credits.
• D. Configure the port monitor to allow categorization of a specific device as slow.
• E. Configure the flow control for the FC to use R_RDY.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers, B and D, focus on identifying and managing slow drain devices which are crucial in alleviating congestion. Options A and C do not directly address congestion mitigation, while option E pertains to flow control rather than the specific detection and management of slow devices.
