Which configurations are supported in clustered ONTAP 8.2? (choose all that apply)
The correct answer is A. Single-node clusters B. Switchless 2-node clusters E. 8-node clusters with NAS and SAN. Clustered ONTAP 8.2 supports single-node clusters, switchless 2-node clusters, and 8-node clusters with NAS and SAN, but not switchless 4-node, 5-node, or 24-node mixed-protocol configurations.

Why each option
Clustered ONTAP 8.2 supports single-node clusters, switchless 2-node clusters, and 8-node clusters with NAS and SAN, but not switchless 4-node, 5-node, or 24-node mixed-protocol configurations.
Single-node clusters are a supported configuration in clustered ONTAP 8.2, typically used for evaluation or entry-level deployments.
Switchless 2-node clusters are supported in ONTAP 8.2 using cluster interconnect ports directly between two nodes without a dedicated cluster switch.
Switchless cluster configurations are only supported for 2-node clusters in ONTAP 8.2 - 4-node switchless is not a valid topology.
5-node clusters are not a supported configuration in ONTAP 8.2 - cluster node counts follow specific validated sizes and 5-node is not among them.
8-node clusters supporting both NAS and SAN protocols are within the validated maximum node count for mixed-protocol configurations in ONTAP 8.2.
24-node clusters in ONTAP 8.2 are supported only for NAS-only configurations, not for mixed NAS and SAN workloads.
