Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 86

A Cisco engineer is preparing a service profile template for a design, which consists of 20 x UCS B200M6 blade servers, 2 x UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect in End Host Mode, and 3 x UCS 5108 server chassis with 2408 Fabric Extenders. The blade servers are equipped with VIC 1480 adapters. The engineer does not configure a vNIC/vHBA placement policy in the service profile and the vNICs and vHBAs are assigned to the vCon in a particular order. What is the mapping scheme in which Cisco UCS assigns the vCons based on the type of server and the selected virtual slot?

Answer options

• A. linear ordered
• B. cross match
• C. round robin
• D. network mesh

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct mapping scheme is 'linear ordered' because when no specific vNIC/vHBA placement policy is defined, Cisco UCS assigns vCons in a sequential manner based on their order. The other options, such as 'cross match', 'round robin', and 'network mesh', do not apply in this context as they involve different methods of resource allocation that are not used when a linear order is established.
