NS0-157 · Question #154

Which is a supported management switch? (Choose two)

The correct answer is E. Cisco Catalyst 2960 F. Cisco Nexus 5020. The Cisco Catalyst 2960 and Cisco Nexus 5020 are the two validated switches for NetApp clustered ONTAP environments. Brocade switches and the Nexus 7000 are not qualified for this role, and the Nexus 5010 is a cluster interconnect switch subject to an 18-node cap.

Why each option

The Cisco Catalyst 2960 and Cisco Nexus 5020 are the two validated switches for NetApp clustered ONTAP environments. Brocade switches and the Nexus 7000 are not qualified for this role, and the Nexus 5010 is a cluster interconnect switch subject to an 18-node cap.

ABrocade 8000

The Brocade 8000 is a Fibre Channel and FCoE switch designed for SAN fabric connectivity and is not validated as a NetApp cluster interconnect or management network switch.

BBrocade FLS624

The Brocade FLS624 does not appear in the NetApp Hardware Universe as a validated cluster or management network switch for clustered ONTAP.

CCisco Nexus 5010

The Cisco Nexus 5010 is a cluster interconnect switch capped at 18 nodes and is not the correct answer when the Nexus 5020 is available as the validated option for this role.

DCisco Nexus 7000

The Cisco Nexus 7000 is a core data center aggregation switch and is not validated by NetApp for use as a cluster interconnect or management network switch.

ECisco Catalyst 2960Correct

The Cisco Catalyst 2960 is a NetApp-validated switch used for the cluster management network, providing the out-of-band management connectivity required for cluster administration. It is supported for clusters up to 24 nodes in the management network role.

FCisco Nexus 5020Correct

The Cisco Nexus 5020 is a NetApp-validated cluster interconnect switch that supports the high-speed, low-latency fabric required for larger cluster configurations. Its higher port density makes it the qualified choice for cluster interconnect beyond the 18-node limit of the Nexus 5010.
