NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v3 — Question 46

You have a NetApp ONTAP cluster and are configuring iSCSI for some new hosts. You want to ensure that iSCSI connectivity can survive physical network failures.
In this scenario, which two features would help fulfill this requirement? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. broadcast domains
• B. MPIO
• C. failover groups
• D. interface groups

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answers, A and C, are broadcast domains and failover groups. Broadcast domains help manage traffic and maintain connectivity across multiple paths, while failover groups provide redundancy by allowing alternate paths to be used if the primary path fails. Options B (MPIO) and D (interface groups) do not directly address the requirement for surviving physical network failures in this specific scenario.
