Which statement about the Cisco UCCE solution in the virtualized environment is true?

Question

Options

• AVMware NIC teaming whether in active-active or active-standby configuration on the UCS B/C
• BNexus 1000V virtual distributed switch can be used but only for 500 agent deployment model
• CCisco UCS VIC can be used on UCS C series TRC models
• DSpec-based virtualized servers based on Intel E5 26xx cpu family at speed 2.40 GHz is supported

• A
  7% (4)
• B
  3% (2)
• C
  8% (5)
• D
  82% (50)

Explanation

Option D is correct because Cisco UCCE's virtualization policy supports spec-based servers (not just Cisco UCS hardware) provided they meet defined hardware requirements - specifically, servers using the Intel Xeon E5-26xx CPU family at 2.40 GHz or faster. This gives organizations flexibility to deploy UCCE on third-party hardware that matches Cisco's published specifications.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is false because Cisco UCCE does not support active-active NIC teaming on UCS B/C series - only active-standby is permitted. Presenting both as valid is the trap.
• B is false because the Nexus 1000V virtual distributed switch is not restricted to 500-agent deployments; imposing that arbitrary limit makes the statement incorrect.
• C is false because Cisco UCS VIC (Virtual Interface Card) is not supported on UCS C series TRC (Tested Reference Configuration) models - TRC configurations use standard NICs, not VIC adapters.

Memory tip: Think "D = Defined specs" - Cisco opens UCCE virtualization to non-UCS hardware as long as the server meets defined CPU specifications (Intel E5-26xx at 2.40 GHz). If a choice puts an artificial restriction on something (like "only 500 agents" or "active-active allowed"), treat it as a red flag that it's wrong.
