300-620 · Question #312

Which role do interfaces Ethernet 1/49-50 have in this output?

The correct answer is A. leaf fabric ports. Interfaces Ethernet 1/49-50 on a Cisco ACI leaf switch typically serve as leaf fabric ports. These ports connect the leaf switch to spine switches, forming the ACI fabric underlay.

Why each option

Interfaces Ethernet 1/49-50 on a Cisco ACI leaf switch typically serve as leaf fabric ports. These ports connect the leaf switch to spine switches, forming the ACI fabric underlay.

Aleaf fabric portsCorrect

In Cisco ACI, interfaces like Ethernet 1/49-50 on a leaf switch are designated as fabric ports, which are used to establish connections to spine switches. These high-speed uplinks form the crucial spine-leaf topology of the ACI fabric underlay.

Bserver fabric ports

Servers do not have "fabric ports"; they connect to the access ports of leaf switches.

Cleaf access ports

Leaf access ports are typically lower-numbered interfaces (e.g., 1/1 through 1/48) used to connect to endpoints like servers, not the higher-numbered uplink ports like 1/49-50.

Dserver uplink ports

Server uplink ports refer to the ports on the server itself that connect to the leaf switch; the question asks about the role of the leaf switch's interfaces.
