Question 1
A small company hosts several critical applications on bare-metal servers connected via iSCSI
protocol to shared JBOD storage. One of the critical applications is experiencing latency issues, which
the engineering team suspects is due to incorrect prioritization for iSCSI traffic. An engineer must
update the network QoS settings to prioritize iSCSI traffic with these requirements:
iSCSI traffic must be prioritized.
The solution must be able to differentiate between different types of iSCSI traffic.
The solution must be scalable because iSCSI traffic is expected to increase in the future.
The solution must not disrupt other traffic.
Which two configurations must the engineer apply to the devices on the network to meet the
requirements? (Choose two.)
- A. class-map match-all ISCSI match access-group name ISCSI policy-map QoS_Policy class ISCSI priority percent 50
- B. ip access-list extended ISCSI permit tcp any any eq 3260
- C. policy-map QoS_Policy class class-default priority percent 100 police rate 100 mbps burst 5000 packets conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
- D. ip access-list extended iSCSI permit tcp any any eq 865
Answer:
A, B

Question 3
An engineer must complete vNIC and vHBA allocations for 16 new servers. All servers currently have
the same requirements, but the company wants to be prepared for a future update to add additional

templates to complete the task. Which approach must the engineer take?
- A. Create the 16 service profiles via an initial template, and manually update servers 14, 15, and 16 with additional vNIC and vHBA when required.
- B. Create the 16 service profiles via an updating template, and update the template with the additional vNIC and vHBA when required.
- C. Create the 16 service profiles via an initial template, and then update the initial template with additional vNICs and vHBAs for servers 14, 15, and 16.
- D. Create service profiles for servers 1 through 13 via an initial template, and create separate service profiles for servers 14, 15, and 16 via an updating template that includes the additional vNIC and vHBA.
Answer:
D

- C. Add peer-gateway under vPC domain.
- D. Add peer-gateway under vPC interface link.
Answer:
A
Question 5
Refer to the exhibit.
Refer to the exhibit. A 4x10G Fibre Channel has been configured between SW1 and SW2 to carry
backup traffic sourced to and from the SAN. An engineer noticed that 10G Link 1 is being used more
heavily than the other links within the port channel. Which action must the engineer take on the two
switches to ensure that the traffic uses all available links between SW1 and SW2?
- A. Configure exchange-based load-balancing.
- B. Configure flow-based load-balancing.
- C. Configure src-dst-ip-based load-balancing.
- D. Configure dst-mac-based load-balancing.
Answer:
A
Question 6
Which vNIC/vHBA Placement policy should be selected in Cisco UCS Manager to ensure that only
dynamic and static vNICs and vHBAs are explicitly assigned to the policy?
- A. Assigned Only
- B. Exclude usNIC
- C. All
- D. Exclude Unassigned
Answer:
A
Question 7
A network engineer needs to design Layer 2 connectivity for a subnet between two data centers
using VXLAN with Cisco Nexus switches. The engineer must ensure seamless host mobility and
optimal first-hop routing. Which gateway MAC attribute must be synchronized across both data
centers?
- A. HSRP
- B. anycast
- C. multicast
- D. VRRP
Answer:
B
Question 8
The network engineering team at a large corporation operates a critical data center with stringent
business requirements for network reliability and high availability. EIGRP is used as an interior
routing protocol. The team is planning to implement a robust new redundancy strategy that
minimizes downtime and maximizes network uptime. According to the requirements, business
services can tolerate 3 seconds for failover performance. The solution must be based on RFC 2281.
Which action must the team take as part of the implementation?
- A. Implement GLBP to distribute traffic across multiple gateways to provide load sharing.
- B. Implement VRRP to provide Layer 3 gateway redundancy.
- C. Implement EIGRP with equal-cost multipath routing to provide load balancing.
- D. Implement HSRP to provide gateway redundancy and failover.
Answer:
D
Question 9
A network engineer must design a high-performance, lossless Ethernet network to support AI
workloads in a data center. The network uses a spine-leaf topology with Cisco Nexus 9000 Series
Switches. The design must ensure that critical AI traffic can move seamlessly across the fabric
without being dropped due to congestion. The design requirements are:
Prevent packet drops for high-priority AI traffic flows.
Proactively manage and signal congestion to ensure continuous data flow even under heavy load.
Which design approach must be used to meet these requirements?
- A. Enable PFC across all QoS classes. Tune buffer at the spine layer for AI traffic congestion.
- B. Configure PFC on all traffic classes across the spine-leaf topology. Enable ECN only on the leaf switches.
- C. Implement PFC only on high-priority traffic. Configure ECN across both spine and leaf switches.
