Dell EMC Expert – Cloud Architect — Question 6

A company has a cluster with two subnets. The first subnet has 1 GbE interfaces dedicated for management and the second subnet has 10GbE interfaces dedicated for handling all data access. When the cluster started serving the production environment, poor performance was observed while the data is accesses through the data subnet. While troubleshooting the network, the administrator discovered that the return traffic is going through the management network. Which recommended solution will resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. Change the gateway priorities
• B. Enable destination-based routing with static routes
• C. Enable source-based routing
• D. Configure static routes for both subnets

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Changing the gateway priorities ensures that the return traffic utilizes the correct data subnet rather than the management network, which is essential for maintaining optimal performance. The other options, such as enabling destination-based routing or source-based routing, may not directly address the routing issue at hand, and configuring static routes might complicate the network setup without resolving the core problem.
