NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NVMe — Question 72

You are configuring networking for a new AFF A800 cluster that runs ONTAP 9.8 software. You notice that newly created interface groups and VLAN interfaces are placed into broadcast domains by the system.

In this scenario, what provides this function?

Answer options

• A. Interface failover groups
• B. interface auto revert
• C. automatic port placement
• D. IPspaces

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as automatic port placement is responsible for the system's ability to assign newly created interface groups and VLANs to broadcast domains. Options A, B, and D pertain to different functions; interface failover groups manage redundancy, interface auto revert deals with reverting interfaces to a previous state, and IPspaces are used for isolating network resources, but none of these directly relate to the automatic assignment to broadcast domains.
