NS0-157 · Question #180
Which two switches are supported cluster switches? (Choose two)
The correct answer is C. Cisco Nexus 5010 D. Cisco Nexus 5020. NetApp validated the Cisco Nexus 5010 and Nexus 5020 as supported cluster interconnect switches for ONTAP cluster networks, providing the required low-latency 10 GbE connectivity.

Why each option
NetApp validated the Cisco Nexus 5010 and Nexus 5020 as supported cluster interconnect switches for ONTAP cluster networks, providing the required low-latency 10 GbE connectivity.
The Brocade 8000 is a Fibre Channel/FCoE switch validated for storage networking but is not a supported cluster interconnect switch for ONTAP.
The Brocade FLS624 is not listed as a supported NetApp cluster interconnect switch in the Hardware Universe.
The Cisco Nexus 5010 is a supported NetApp cluster interconnect switch that provides 10 GbE connectivity meeting the latency and throughput requirements for ONTAP cluster communications. The Cisco Nexus 5020 is the higher-density variant of the same platform and is equally supported, with both appearing on the NetApp Hardware Universe as validated cluster switches.
The Cisco Catalyst 2960 is a layer-2 access switch that does not meet the 10 GbE low-latency requirements for NetApp cluster interconnects and is not validated for that role.
