350-601 Question #520: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Refer to the exhibit. An engineer configures an FCoE connection between a Cisco UCS and a Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switch. The UCS FI-A connects to the Nexus switch using interface e1/12. All relevant configurations have been completed on the Nexus switch to support FCoE deployment. Which action must be taken on Cisco UCS Manager to complete the configuration?

Options

• ATrunk VLAN 500 on interface e1/12.
• BCreate a Virtual Fibre Channel Interface.
• CChange the Transport Type to FCoE.
• DConfigure an FCoE uplink interface.

Explanation

To complete an FCoE connection from Cisco UCS to a Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switch, after basic physical connections and Nexus configuration, a Virtual Fibre Channel Interface must be created on Cisco UCS Manager.

Common mistakes.

• A. While VLANs are fundamental to FCoE, trunking a specific VLAN on interface e1/12 is a configuration step typically done on the Nexus switch or as part of general Ethernet port configuration, not the specific action needed on UCS Manager to complete the FCoE functionality for servers.
• C. Changing the Transport Type to FCoE is not a standalone action in UCS Manager to complete the server-side FCoE configuration; FCoE is implicitly handled when configuring a Virtual Fibre Channel Interface and enabling FCoE on uplinks.
• D. Configuring an FCoE uplink interface on UCS Manager is necessary to enable the fabric interconnect to send FCoE traffic to the Nexus switch, but it's not the final step to make FCoE available to the servers via their service profiles.
