NS0-157 Question #263: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is C: 12. The NetApp CN1610 supports up to 12 cluster nodes in clustered ONTAP 8.2, based on its 16-port capacity with ports reserved for inter-switch links.
Question
How many cluster nodes are supported by the CN1610 Interconnect Switch in clustered ONTAP 8.2?
Options
- A4
- B8
- C12
- D16
- E24
Explanation
The NetApp CN1610 supports up to 12 cluster nodes in clustered ONTAP 8.2, based on its 16-port capacity with ports reserved for inter-switch links.
Common mistakes.
- A. 4 nodes is far below the CN1610's port capacity and does not represent its documented maximum supported cluster size.
- B. 8 nodes underutilizes the CN1610's 16-port design; the switch is validated for larger cluster configurations in ONTAP 8.2.
- D. 16 nodes would consume all 16 ports for node connections, leaving no ports available for the required ISL links between the two redundant switches.
- E. 24 nodes exceeds the CN1610's physical port count of 16 and is not a supported configuration.
