NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NVMe — Question 58

You are preparing to install a new 4-node ONTAP 9.8 cluster. You have a pair of new Broadcom BES-52348 cluster switches.

In this scenario, what are three requirements for the successful installation of the cluster switches? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. a pair of 100GbE twinax cables
• B. a pair of 10GbE twinax cables
• C. a supported version of the RCF
• D. a supported version of NX-OS
• E. a supported version of EFOS

Correct answer: A, C, E

Explanation

The correct answer includes A, C, and E because a pair of 100GbE twinax cables is required for high-speed connections, and both RCF and EFOS must be supported versions to ensure compatibility. Option B is incorrect as 10GbE twinax cables do not meet the speed requirements for this setup, and D is incorrect because NX-OS is not relevant to the installation of ONTAP 9.8 clusters.
