NetApp Certified Hybrid Cloud Administrator (NCHCA) — Question 34

A customer with a FlexPod solution wants to expand their NetApp ONTAP 9.7 switchless cluster. The new hardware must support expansion slots. In addition, they will also upgrade to a 100 Gbps-capable cluster interconnect switch for future growth.
In this scenario, which two additional components will satisfy the requirement? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Nexus 3232C
• B. Nexus N3132Q-V
• C. NetApp FAS2720
• D. NetApp AFF A400

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The Nexus 3232C and Nexus N3132Q-V are both switches that support the necessary expansion slots and are capable of handling 100 Gbps, making them suitable for the customer's needs. The NetApp FAS2720 and NetApp AFF A400, while capable storage solutions, do not serve the requirement for a cluster interconnect switch and therefore are not appropriate choices in this scenario.
