Which configuration is available only in Cisco DCNM-SAN Advanced mode?

Question

Options

• AIVR
• BVMpath configuration
• Czoning
• Dtemplate-based provisioning

• C

• D

Explanation

IVR (Inter-VSAN Routing) is exclusively configurable in DCNM-SAN Advanced mode because it requires complex routing between isolated VSANs - a capability that goes beyond the standard feature set and demands the extended management controls that Advanced mode provides. The other options are distractors because zoning is a fundamental SAN operation available in both Basic and Advanced modes, template-based provisioning is a general provisioning feature not restricted to Advanced mode, and VMpath configuration is not a core DCNM-SAN exclusive - it relates to broader virtualization path management accessible in standard configurations. IVR's complexity (managing fabric-wide routing tables, topology databases, and NAT-like address translation between VSANs) is precisely why Cisco gates it behind Advanced mode.

Memory tip: Think "IVR = Inter-VSAN Routing = I need Very Robust (Advanced) access" - if traffic has to cross VSAN boundaries, you need Advanced mode to make it happen.
