What is the default number of dynamic vNICs that is specified by the Cisco UCS Manager when creating a dynamic vNIC connection policy?

Question

Options

• A54
• B128
• C256
• D257

• A
  88% (29)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  6% (2)

Explanation

Option A (54) is correct because Cisco UCS Manager sets 54 as the default number of dynamic vNICs when configuring a dynamic vNIC connection policy - this is also the maximum supported value, meaning the default is set to the upper limit by design to provide maximum flexibility for virtualized workloads.

Options B (128) and C (256) are incorrect - these are common powers-of-two values that appear frequently in networking contexts (e.g., VLAN counts, MAC table sizes), making them plausible-sounding distractors, but they have no basis in UCS dynamic vNIC policy defaults. Option D (257) is a near-miss designed to trip up candidates who might guess "256 + 1," but this value is not used anywhere in UCS vNIC configuration.

Memory tip: Think "54 = default AND max" - unlike most defaults that sit below the maximum, UCS Manager gives you the full 54 right out of the box. Associate the number 54 with a standard deck of cards (52 + 2 jokers ≈ 54) to make it stick.
