Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 92

An engineer is experiencing performance issues on a Cisco UCS blade server. The B-Series blade server contains four CPUs, most of which are idle. The engineer notices that the CPU is suffering from too many requests sent by the NIC. Additionally, the number of queues appears to be insufficient and only a single CPU is processing the network traffic.

Which policy must be used to alleviate these issues?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as configuring the Ethernet adapter can help balance the network traffic across multiple CPUs, thereby resolving the performance bottleneck. Options A and D do not directly address the CPU load issue, while B does not specifically target the queue management needed to alleviate the problem.
