Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 278

ASAN administrator must implement infrastructure monitoring for the Fibre Channel storage environment. The storage environment consists of a standalone Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switch and Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switches. The goal is to be able to visualize the SAN, support VXLAN overlays, and identify storage slow drain issues. Which monitoring solution accomplishes this task?

Answer options

• A. Cisco DCNM
• B. Cisco APIC
• C. Cisco Intersight
• D. Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Cisco DCNM (Data Center Network Manager) is designed to provide comprehensive monitoring and management capabilities for data center networks, including Fibre Channel environments. It supports visualization of SANs and can help identify slow drain issues effectively. The other options, while useful in their own domains, do not specifically focus on the monitoring requirements of Fibre Channel storage environments.
