What is a characteristic of the IP Packet Reflect feature running on a Dell Unity XT NAS Server?

Question

Options

• AFeature can only be enabled when the NAS Server is created via UEMCLI
• BFeature can only be enabled when the NAS Server is created via the GUI
• COutbound packets use the same interface as the inbound packets
• DCommunications initiated by the array do not require route table lookups

• B
  6% (2)
• C
  90% (28)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

IP Packet Reflect ensures that when a NAS Server receives traffic on a specific network interface, the response packets exit through that same interface - making option C correct. This is particularly useful in multi-homed environments where the NAS Server has multiple interfaces, preventing asymmetric routing issues where responses leave on a different path than they arrived.

Options A and B are wrong because IP Packet Reflect is not restricted to any specific management tool - it can be enabled via either UEMCLI or the GUI, and the restriction to one method simply doesn't exist in the feature's design. Option D is incorrect because it describes a different concept; Packet Reflect is about symmetric interface selection, not eliminating route table lookups - arrays still consult routing tables for self-initiated communications.

Memory tip: Think of Packet Reflect like a mirror - traffic bounces back out the same "window" it came in through. "Same in, same out" = Packet Reflect.
