Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, VMAX All Flash and PowerMax — Question 3

The ECS network solution for an organization is designed to have 4x10GbE uplinks connected to both Cisco switches. The organization will create the needed port channels.
What additional configuration on the Cisco switches is recommended for high availability and redundancy?

Answer options

• A. Ring topology
• B. Dedicated VLANs
• C. Spanning tree protocol
• D. Virtual port channel

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as dedicated VLANs help in isolating traffic and improving redundancy in a high availability setup. While ring topology and spanning tree protocol are relevant to network design, they do not specifically enhance the redundancy of the uplinks in this scenario. Virtual port channel is a good option but it does not address the specific need for dedicated VLANs for redundancy.
