The correct answer is B: lt reduces the number of domain IDs in a fabric.. NPV reduces domain IDs by proxying N-Port traffic through NP-Port uplinks and, combined with NPIV, allows multiple FCIDs on a single physical port.
Question
Which two descriptions of NPV are true? (Choose two.)
Options
- AIt must be configured on all hosts that connect to the NPV switch.
- Blt reduces the number of domain IDs in a fabric.
- CIt combines locally connected N Ports into a single uplink.
- DIt assigns multiple Fibre IDs to a single Port.
- EIt is deployed to a VM by using Cisco UCS Manager.
Explanation
NPV reduces domain IDs by proxying N-Port traffic through NP-Port uplinks and, combined with NPIV, allows multiple FCIDs on a single physical port.
Common mistakes.
- A. NPV is a switch-level mode configured on the Fibre Channel switch itself, not a per-host configuration applied to connected servers or HBAs.
- C. NPV forwards N-Port traffic through one or more NP-Port uplinks to the core fabric switch rather than collapsing all connected N-Ports into a single uplink.
- E. NPV is a Fibre Channel fabric feature configured directly on MDS or Nexus switches, not a virtualization service deployed to VMs through Cisco UCS Manager.
Concept tested. Fibre Channel NPV mode domain ID reduction and NPIV
