What is a characteristic of MX7000 networking in Full Switch Mode?

Question

Options

• ALayer 2 bridging is disabled by default and interfaces must join a bridge domain (VLAN) before
• BNetworking is enabled by default and all switch-specific OS10EE capabilities are available.
• CNetworking is available on MX9116n FSE and MX7116n FEM but not on the MX5108n.
• DSwitches operate as layer 2 I/O aggregation devices and are managed through OME-M.

• A
  5% (1)
• B
  89% (17)
• C
  5% (1)

Explanation

Full Switch Mode on the MX7000 activates the switch's complete OS10EE operating system, enabling all native switching capabilities out-of-the-box - making B correct: networking is on by default with full OS10EE feature access.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A describes SmartFabric Services behavior, where VLANs must be explicitly configured - that's a different mode entirely.
• C is fabricated; Full Switch Mode availability is not restricted by blade model in that way - the MX5108n supports it too.
• D describes VRTX-style or I/O Aggregator Mode, where switches are subordinate devices managed through a chassis manager, not autonomous full-featured switches.

Memory tip: Think "Full Switch = Full Power." In Full Switch Mode, the switch behaves like a standalone, fully-capable OS10EE switch you just plugged in - everything works immediately, no extra bridge/VLAN setup required.
