CCIE Data Center (legacy) — Question 69

Which two statements about SAN port channels configured on Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The bring up protocol automatically detects and overrides any misconfiguration.
• B. You can manually configure channel groups, or they can be automatically created.
• C. Changes in configuration to the SAN port channel interface must also be made to all members of the channel group.
• D. The port channel protocol uses the exchange fabric parameters command to communicate " across peer ports in an ISL.
• E. The port channel protocol ensures that a set of ports is eligible to be part of the same SAN port channel.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

Option B is correct because channel groups can indeed be configured either manually or automatically. Option E is also correct as the port channel protocol ensures eligibility for ports to join the same SAN port channel. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they either misrepresent the functionality of the protocol or describe configurations that are not required by the SAN port channel setup.
