NetApp Certified Hybrid Cloud Administrator (NCHCA) — Question 23

You are asked to design a new FlexPod solution that will host VMware virtual machines using NFS datastores, file services using SMB, and NFS-mounted home directories. You need to ensure that the network traffic of these three use cases are isolated?
In this scenario, which supported end-to-end network topology would be used to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. VSAN
• B. VXLAN
• C. VLAN
• D. vPC

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answer is VLAN (C) and vPC (D) because they both provide mechanisms for traffic isolation in a network environment. VLANs allow for distinct broadcast domains, effectively separating traffic for different services, while vPC enhances redundancy and load balancing. VSAN and VXLAN are not designed specifically for isolating traffic in the same manner as VLANs and vPCs.
