Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 260

Which file service protocol allows the files to appear locally mapped to the client and provides view, store, and update capabilities on a remote Linux-based storage repository that also serves as a distributed file system standard for NAS?

Answer options

• A. NFS
• B. CIFS
• C. iSCSI
• D. FTP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

NFS, or Network File System, allows remote file access as if they were local, making it suitable for Linux-based environments and NAS systems. CIFS is primarily used in Windows environments, iSCSI is for block storage rather than file access, and FTP is used for transferring files rather than providing a file system interface.
