The correct answer is B. Create VSAN 10 in the VSAN database. To assign a Fibre Channel port to VSAN 10 and enable a port channel ISL to carry multiple VSANs including VSAN 10 on a Cisco MDS switch, VSAN 10 must first be created in the VSAN database. This is a fundamental prerequisite for any VSAN deployment.
Question
An engineer is implementing VSANs on a Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch with a native Fibre Channel. The deployment must meet these requirements:
- The host on port fc1/1 must be assigned to VSAN 10.
- The port channel 10 ISL must pass multiple VSANs, including VSAN 10.
Which configuration set meets these requirements?
Options
- AActivate VSAN 10 in the vFC interface.
- BCreate VSAN 10 in the VSAN database.
- CConfigure VSAN 10 in the interface configuration.
- DDisable VSAN 1 in the VSAN database.

Why each option
To assign a Fibre Channel port to VSAN 10 and enable a port channel ISL to carry multiple VSANs including VSAN 10 on a Cisco MDS switch, VSAN 10 must first be created in the VSAN database. This is a fundamental prerequisite for any VSAN deployment.
Activating a VSAN in a vFC interface is specific to Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and is not applicable to native Fibre Channel ports as described in the question.
Before a VSAN can be assigned to an interface or pass through an Inter-Switch Link (ISL), it must first be created in the VSAN database of the Cisco MDS switch. Creating VSAN 10 makes it known to the switch and available for subsequent assignment to individual Fibre Channel ports and inclusion in port channel trunking configurations.
While VSAN 10 will be configured on the interface eventually, the prerequisite step is to create the VSAN in the database before it can be used on any interface.
Disabling VSAN 1, the default VSAN, is an administrative action unrelated to the requirement of creating and utilizing VSAN 10.
