Question

An engineer must configure port aggregation between two Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switches. The solution must meet these requirements:

Suspend member interface if parameters mismatch.
Load-balance traffic on multiple ports.
Support traffic from multiple VSANs.

Which port channel configuration must be used?

Options

APort type: FT Port
BPort type: F Port
CPort type: E Port
DPort type: TE Port

Explanation

A TE Port (Trunking E Port) is the correct choice because it satisfies all three requirements. First, TE Port port channels use the Cisco Port Channel Protocol (PCP), which automatically suspends member interfaces whose parameters (speed, mode, etc.) do not match - preventing misconfigured links from passing traffic silently. Second, port channels inherently load-balance traffic across member links. Third, TE Ports support VSAN trunking, meaning they can carry traffic from multiple VSANs simultaneously over the same ISL. E Ports carry only a single VSAN (no trunking), F Ports connect to host initiators, and FT Ports are trunking F ports used for NPV/NPIV scenarios - none of these support multi-VSAN ISLs between switches as required.
