Troubleshooting Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCIT) — Question 40

A system administrator adds two vNICs to an existing service profile that is used to run a vSphere environment to support disjoint Layer 2 network connectivity. However, after the server is rebooted, the host is not accessible on the network. Which action resolves the issue?

Answer options

• A. Build a new service profile with the desired network configuration.
• B. Remove all existing vNICs and add them in the desired order.
• C. Create a vNIC placement policy to avoid adapter renumbering.
• D. Add the disjoint Layer 2 VLANs to an existing vNIC rather than adding new vNICs.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as creating a vNIC placement policy ensures that the network adapters maintain their designated order, preventing issues with connectivity after a reboot. Option A suggests starting from scratch, which is unnecessary if a policy can resolve the issue. Option B would not solve the underlying problem of adapter renumbering, and option D does not address the need for maintaining distinct connections with new vNICs.
