Question
A midsize corporation with significant data-storage requirements is planning to deploy RFC 3720- based technology in its data center to provide efficient and reliable block-level storage access to servers. The corporation requires a robust solution with optimal performance, load-balancing, and fault tolerance. The solution must use multiple network paths to optimize bandwidth usage and provide redundancy. LACP has already been enabled on the data-center switches. Which two actions must be taken to accomplish the goal? (Choose two.)
Options
- AConfigure iSCSI MPIO software on the hosts.
- BConfigure the iSCSI initiators and targets to use a single network path.
- CImplement MPIO with redundant network paths.
- DImplement VLAN tagging in accordance with the IEEE 802.1Q standard to segregate iSCSI traffic
- EDisable jumbo frames on the data center switches.

Explanation
Configure iSCSI MPIO software on the hosts. Enabling MPIO on each server ensures that the host OS can use multiple active iSCSI sessions in parallel, aggregating bandwidth across NICs and automatically failing over if one path drops. Implement VLAN tagging in accordance with the IEEE 802.1Q standard to segregate iSCSI traffic from other data‑center traffic. Isolating iSCSI frames on their own VLAN prevents congestion from other workloads, improves security, and simplifies QoS policies - without this, even multi‑path links can suffer from “noisy neighbor” issues.
