Which statement regarding the UCS C-senes connectivity modes best describes connectivity options in a UCS Manager integrated environment?

Question

Options

• AUCS C-series servers must be connected to Fabric Interconnects using Fabric Extenders (FEX)
• BUCS C-series servers may be connected to multiple UCS Manager domains at the same time
• CAll UCS C-series servers in a single UCS Manager domain must share the same connectivity
• DUCS C-series servers may be connected with or without the use of Fabric Extenders (FEX) in

• A
  3% (2)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  8% (5)
• D
  87% (55)

Explanation

Option D is correct because Cisco UCS C-series rack servers support two distinct connectivity modes when integrating with UCS Manager: direct-connect mode (connecting directly to the Fabric Interconnects) and FEX-connected mode (connecting through a Nexus 2000 series Fabric Extender). This flexibility lets administrators choose the topology that best fits their data center infrastructure.

Option A is wrong because FEX is optional, not mandatory - C-series servers can connect directly to Fabric Interconnects without any FEX in between.

Option B is wrong because a C-series server can only be managed by a single UCS Manager domain at a time; multi-domain simultaneous management is not supported.

Option C is wrong because connectivity is per-server, not domain-wide - different C-series servers within the same UCS Manager domain can independently use direct-connect or FEX-connected mode.

Memory tip: Think of it as "C for Choice" - C-series gives you the choice of FEX or no FEX, unlike B-series blades which are always connected through Fabric Interconnects directly within the chassis.
