Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 55

An environment consists of a Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch that uses port channels. An engineer must ensure that frames between the source and the destination follow the same links for a specific flow. Subsequent flows are allowed to use a different link. Which load balancing method should be used to accomplish this goal?

Answer options

• A. src-id/dst-id
• B. src-dst-oui
• C. src-dst-port
• D. src-id/dst-id/oxid

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the src-id/dst-id/oxid method takes into account the source ID, destination ID, and the oxid to ensure a consistent path for the specific flow. The other options, while they may provide load balancing, do not ensure that frames from the same flow will consistently use the same links.
