Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 34

What influences the number of ISLs that are required between Cisco MDS Series switches?

Answer options

• A. FCoE protocol
• B. type of storage
• C. end-to-end oversubscription ratio
• D. N Port virtualization

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the end-to-end oversubscription ratio determines how much traffic is expected to pass through the ISLs, thus influencing the number required. Options A, B, and D may impact the overall performance or configuration of the network but do not directly dictate the number of ISLs needed between the switches.
