What is a benefit of using scalable fabric architecture in the MX7000?

Question

Options

• AManagement of all servers and fabrics is done from the last chassis in the fabric
• BManagement of all fabrics is done from the third fabric in the chassis
• CManagement of all servers and fabrics is done from the lead chassis
• DManagement of all fabrics is done from the last chassis in the fabric

• B
  4% (1)
• C
  93% (26)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

In Dell EMC's MX7000 scalable fabric architecture, connecting multiple chassis together creates a fabric group where one chassis is designated the lead chassis. That lead chassis serves as the single management point for all servers and fabric modules across every connected chassis - this centralized control is the core benefit, simplifying administration at scale.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A and D are tempting but wrong because they say "last chassis," which has no special role in the architecture - management authority belongs to the lead chassis, not whichever happens to be at the end.
• B is invented nonsense - there is no concept of a "third fabric" taking over management; the MX7000 doesn't assign management roles based on fabric position number.

Memory tip: Think of the lead chassis like a foreman on a job site - the leader directs everything. If you see "last chassis" in any answer, eliminate it immediately, since "last" implies no logical authority, while "lead" implies ownership.
