NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NVMe — Question 17

You installed a new 2-node FAS500f ONTAP 9.8 switchless cluster that serves NAS volumes to both NFSv4.1 and SMB clients. The host operating systems have full flow control enabled on their data ports.
In this scenario, which two flow control settings would you verify? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Verify that the data network ports have full flow control disabled.
• B. Verify that the cluster network ports have full flow control enabled.
• C. Verify that the data network ports have full flow control enabled.
• D. Verify that the cluster network ports have full flow control disabled.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are C and D because the data network ports should have full flow control enabled to manage data flow properly, while the cluster network ports should have full flow control disabled to avoid unnecessary delays. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not align with the required settings for optimal performance in this scenario.
