Which action must be performed to deactivate a VSAN without losing its configuration?

The correct answer is D. Suspend it.

Explanation

Suspending a VSAN temporarily disables it while preserving all its configuration settings (port assignments, VLAN mappings, policies), allowing it to be reactivated later without reconfiguration - making D the correct choice.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A (Isolate): Isolation is a security/troubleshooting concept, not a valid VSAN state management action in most switch operating systems.
  • B (Delete): Deleting a VSAN permanently removes it and all its configuration - the opposite of what the question asks.
  • C (Rename): Renaming only changes the identifier; it neither deactivates the VSAN nor affects traffic flowing through it.

Memory tip: Think of "Suspend" like putting a project on hold - the work (configuration) is saved and ready to resume. "Delete" is throwing the project in the trash - no recovery without starting over.
