Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 95

A network architect designs the iSCSI architecture. The requirements are to achieve high performance and a low amount of oversubscription and to minimize latency. Which two actions must be taken to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Use a software-based iSCSI adapter on the client side.
• B. Enable iSCSI port binding on the initiator device.
• C. Configure the size of the payload in each frame to MTU 9000.
• D. Set the size of the payload in each frame to MTU 1500.
• E. Minimize the number of hops between the storage and the hosts.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Using a software-based iSCSI adapter enhances flexibility and can help in achieving better performance. Setting the payload size to MTU 9000 allows for larger data frames, which reduces the overhead and can lower latency, while the other options do not address the performance and latency requirements as effectively.
