Question

A network consultant evaluates the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect SAN configuration, which must meet these requirements:

  • All traffic must pass over the upstream device for switching and

domain IDs must be preserved in the fabric.

  • Each server should be pinned to one designated upstream interface and

for the traffic to pass through the pinned port. Which Fabric Interconnect SAN operational mode meets these requirements?

Options

  • Aend host
  • Bswitch
  • CNPIV
  • DFibre Channel

Explanation

In Switch mode, the Fabric Interconnect acts as a traditional Fibre Channel (FC) switch. This mode preserves domain IDs within the SAN fabric and ensures that all traffic passes through the upstream switching device. Switch mode also supports pinning of servers to specific upstream interfaces, thereby forcing traffic through the designated pinned ports.
