Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 428

An engineer must ensure fabric redundancy when implementing NPV mode on a Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch.
Which action enables fabric redundancy?

Answer options

• A. Use TE ports to connect to upstream switches.
• B. Add a port channel to upstream switches.
• C. Configure the NPV devices to use an external FLOGI database.
• D. Connect the NPV devices to multiple upstream switches.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because connecting NPV devices to multiple upstream switches provides redundancy in the fabric, ensuring that if one path fails, the other can still maintain connectivity. The other options do not provide the necessary redundancy; for example, using TE ports or adding a port channel may enhance bandwidth but does not address the redundancy requirement.
