What is the port configuration of an MX5108n switch?

Question

Options

• A16 x internal 25GbE ports
• B8 x internal 25GbE ports
• C8 x internal 25GbE ports
• D16 x internal 25GbE ports

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  94% (32)
• C
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option B is correct because the Dell EMC MX5108n is a blade switch designed for the MX7000 modular chassis, and it provides 8 internal 25GbE ports that connect to compute sleds within the chassis. Options A and D are wrong because 16 internal 25GbE ports describe a higher-density configuration that belongs to a different switch model, not the MX5108n. As presented, option C appears textually identical to B - this likely reflects a formatting error in the source question where additional differentiating details (such as uplink port counts or speeds) were stripped out, so treat C as a distractor representing an incomplete or incorrect configuration variant. A helpful memory tip: the "51" in MX5108n can remind you of 8 ports (the "08" portion of the model number directly encodes the internal port count), making it easy to recall this spec on exam day.
