350-601 Question #8: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A: NPIV must be enabled on the upstream switch.. N port virtualization (NPV) alleviates the domain ID limit by sharing the domain ID of the core switch among multiple edge switches. The NPV core switch, with the N port identifier virtualization (NPIV) feature enabled, provides a means to assign multiple FCIDs to a single N port

Question

An engineer is implementing NPV mode on a Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch. Which action must be taken?

Options

ANPIV must be enabled on the upstream switch.
BThe FCNS database must be disabled in the fabric.
CA port channel must be configured to the upstream switch.
DAll switches in the fabric must be Cisco MDS switches.

Explanation

N port virtualization (NPV) alleviates the domain ID limit by sharing the domain ID of the core switch among multiple edge switches. The NPV core switch, with the N port identifier virtualization (NPIV) feature enabled, provides a means to assign multiple FCIDs to a single N port. An NPV edge switch relays all traffic from server-side ports to the core switch. The core switch provides F port functionality (such as login and port security) and all the Fibre Channel switching capabilities. The edge switch shares the domain ID of the core switch. The edge switch appears as a Fibre Channel host to the core switch and as a regular Fibre Channel switch to its connected devices.
