Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 467

An engineer is implementing NPV mode on a Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch.
Which action must be taken?

Answer options

• A. NPIV must be enabled on the upstream switch.
• B. The FCNS database must be disabled in the fabric.
• C. A port channel must be configured to the upstream switch.
• D. All switches in the fabric must be Cisco MDS switches.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Enabling NPIV on the upstream switch is essential for NPV mode to function properly, as it allows multiple N_Port IDs on a single physical port. The other options are not required for NPV mode; disabling the FCNS database, configuring a port channel, or ensuring all switches are Cisco MDS does not directly relate to the implementation of NPV mode.
