NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP NAS — Question 16

You are installing a 4-node cluster with two CN1610 switches. Your co-worker is setting up the switches, but accidentally deletes the current configuration.
According to NetApp, what is the recommended way to restore the configuration?

Answer options

• A. Install only one switch.
• B. Manually configure the ports as they are designated in the CN1601 and CN1610 Switch Setup and Configuration Guide.
• C. Reload the same reference file to the switch.
• D. Copy the configuration from a switch that is working.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because copying the configuration from a working switch is the most effective way to restore the settings accurately. Option A is incorrect as you need both switches for a proper setup. Option B is not advisable since it is prone to human error and time-consuming. Option C does not guarantee the restoration of the previous configuration.
