300-170 · Question #27

Which statement is correct about the number of available QoS system classes in FCoE?

The correct answer is C. It's hard-set but cannot disable best-effort and Fibre Channel. In FCoE, the number of QoS system classes is fixed, with specific classes for best-effort and Fibre Channel traffic that are fundamental and cannot be disabled.

Why each option

In FCoE, the number of QoS system classes is fixed, with specific classes for best-effort and Fibre Channel traffic that are fundamental and cannot be disabled.

AIt's hard-set and cannot be disabled

While the number of classes is hard-set, specific non-essential classes might be disabled, so stating it 'cannot be disabled' in general is too absolute.

BIt's configurable, with an upper limit of 16

The number of QoS system classes in FCoE is typically hard-set, not configurable with an upper limit of 16; Cisco Nexus platforms often have 8 queues/classes per port by default.

CIt's hard-set but cannot disable best-effort and Fibre ChannelCorrect

The number of QoS system classes for FCoE is hard-set on most Cisco Nexus platforms, and critically, the best-effort (default) and Fibre Channel classes cannot be disabled as they are essential for network operation and FCoE lossless transport.

DIt's hard-set but can disable all but one class

While some classes might be disabled, the best-effort and Fibre Channel classes are mandatory and cannot be disabled, making the statement 'can disable all but one class' incorrect.

EIt's configurable with an upper limit of eight

The number of QoS system classes in FCoE is typically hard-set to a specific value, like 8, but it is not configurable with an upper limit of eight; it's a fixed system configuration.
