Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 33

Which mode must be enabled on a Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect to connect directly to a storage array?

Answer options

• A. NPIV mode
• B. FC end-host mode
• C. NPV mode
• D. FC switching mode

Correct answer: D

Explanation

FC switching mode is necessary for connecting directly to a storage array because it enables the Fabric Interconnect to function as a switch in a Fibre Channel environment. The other options, such as NPIV mode and NPV mode, serve different purposes and would not facilitate a direct connection to storage devices.
