NS0-157 Question #98: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B: CIFS and NFS volumes. Export policies in clustered Data ONTAP govern access control for NAS protocols only - specifically CIFS and NFS - and do not apply to SAN block protocols.

Network Configuration and Data Access

Question

An export policy can determine access to volumes for which of the following protocols?

Options

  • AiSCSI and FC volumes
  • BCIFS and NFS volumes
  • CiSCSI, CIFS, NFS
  • DNFS volumes only
  • ECIFS volumes only

Explanation

Export policies in clustered Data ONTAP govern access control for NAS protocols only - specifically CIFS and NFS - and do not apply to SAN block protocols.

Common mistakes.

  • A. iSCSI and FC are SAN block protocols that use igroups and LUN masking for access control, not export policies.
  • C. iSCSI is a SAN protocol and is not governed by export policies, so including it makes this choice incorrect.
  • D. NFS is correct, but CIFS is also governed by export policies, so limiting the answer to NFS only is incomplete.
  • E. CIFS is correct, but NFS is equally governed by export policies, so limiting the answer to CIFS only is incomplete.

Concept tested. Export policy scope across NAS protocols
