Why each option

The Cisco MDS NX-OS initial setup script covers a defined set of baseline parameters, specifically including the default switch port interface state and the default zone mode.

Adefault port-channel mode

Default port-channel mode is not a parameter offered by the MDS initial setup wizard and must be configured manually using NX-OS CLI commands after initial setup.

Bdefault port VSAN membership

Default port VSAN membership is assigned at the interface level post-setup and is not a configurable option within the initial setup script.

Cdefault switch port interface stateCorrect

The MDS initial setup script prompts the administrator to set the default switch port interface state, allowing all ports to default to either 'shut' or 'no shut' when the switch initializes.

Ddefault zone modeCorrect

The initial setup script also prompts for the default zone mode, which determines whether the fabric uses basic or enhanced zoning policy across all VSANs by default.

Edefault storage VDC

Storage VDC is not a concept presented in the MDS initial setup script and is managed through separate VDC provisioning commands outside of the setup wizard.
