NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NVMe — Question 38

You are deploying an 8-node AFF A700 by using BES-53248 cluster switches. During the installation, you notice that ports higher than 16 are not coming online. You verify that the additional licenses are installed.
Which two additional steps must be taken to bring the additional ports online? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Reload the firmware
• B. Reload the RCF file
• C. Re-enable each port
• D. Reload the switch

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Reloading the RCF file (option B) ensures the configuration is applied correctly, while reloading the switch (option D) can help reset the state and bring the ports online. Options A and C are not necessary as they do not address the specific issue of the ports not activating.
