Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerStore — Question 23

A systems administrator must ensure that an IP address never becomes unavailable, even if a node goes offline. What needs to be configured on SmartConnect?

Answer options

• A. Dynamic Allocation
• B. Static Allocation
• C. Connection Count
• D. Round Robin

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Static Allocation, which ensures that a specific IP address is permanently tied to a node, preventing it from becoming unavailable. Options A, C, and D do not guarantee the same level of availability; Dynamic Allocation assigns addresses dynamically, Connection Count relates to the number of connections, and Round Robin distributes requests rather than securing an IP address.
