Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 178

An engineer installs a B-Series server in a Cisco UCS chassis that contains a pair of UCS-IOM-2208XP I/O modules. The full bandwidth of the I/O module must be utilized.

Which two elements should be used in this environment? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. four twinax cables from each I/O module to each fabric interconnect
• B. Cisco UCS VIC 1225
• C. eight twinax cables from each I/O module to each fabric interconnect
• D. Cisco UCS M81KR
• E. Cisco UCS VIC 1280

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct answer is C and E because utilizing eight twinax cables ensures that the full bandwidth of the I/O modules is achieved by providing enough connections to both fabric interconnects. Cisco UCS VIC 1280 is also essential as it supports more bandwidth and features compared to the other options, making it suitable for this environment.
