Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 94
An engineer must connect an existing Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect to an IP-based storage array. The connection must be a port channel made directly between the fabric interconnect expansion module and the storage array. The engineer must also consider that the environment is running FCoE for storage and uses QoS to prioritize traffic.
Which port type should be used to meet these requirements?
Answer options
- A. network
- B. uplink
- C. server
- D. appliance
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D, appliance, as it is specifically designed for connecting storage devices directly to the fabric interconnect, ensuring proper handling of FCoE and QoS requirements. Options A, B, and C do not provide the necessary configuration for direct connectivity to IP-based storage arrays and may not support the required features for FCoE traffic management.
