Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 446

An engineer is converting a Cisco MDS switch to support NPIV mode.
What should be considered when implementing the solution?

Answer options

• A. It requires mapping of external interface traffic.
• B. It must be enabled on VSAN 1 only.
• C. It must be enabled globally on all VSANs.
• D. It requires the FLOGI database to be disabled.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because NPIV must be enabled on all VSANs to function properly across the switch. Option A is incorrect as traffic mapping is not a specific requirement for NPIV. Option B is wrong since NPIV cannot be restricted to only VSAN 1, and option D is false because disabling the FLOGI database is not a prerequisite for implementing NPIV.
