Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 304

What is a feature of an electronic programmable logic device upgrade on a Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch?

Answer options

• A. Only the modules that are being upgraded are disrupted.
• B. An EPLD upgrade is disruptive on all modules.
• C. The standby supervisor module can perform the upgrade.
• D. An EPLD upgrade is nondisruptive on all modules.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because during an EPLD upgrade, only the modules undergoing the upgrade experience disruption, allowing other modules to continue functioning. Options B and D are incorrect as they incorrectly describe the nature of the upgrade's impact on all modules. Option C is incorrect because the upgrade does not rely on the standby supervisor module to execute the process.
