Designing the FlexPod Solution (FPDESIGN)

Answer: A, B, C, F Cisco UCS Manager allows administrators to create named VLANs across nearly the full 802.1Q ID space, but it reserves a contiguous internal block for fabric-interconnect system use (documented for the Nexus-5000-based UCS fabric interconnects as VLAN IDs 3968 through 4029); any VLAN ID falling in that reserved band is rejected by UCS Manager and cannot be created or assigned. VLAN IDs 1, 199, and 1001 are ordinary values well outside the reserved band and are freely configurable, and 4047 lies above the upper boundary of the reserved block, making it configurable as well, whereas 3968 (the start of the reserved block) and 4001 (inside the reserved block) cannot be used because UCS Manager refuses VLAN creation requests for IDs in that internal range.

Answer: D The FI 6248 uses the fixed-port and GEM unified-port ranges for native Fibre Channel: ports 17–32 and 33–40 can be assigned to Fibre Channel. The remaining ports, 1–16 and 41–48, are assigned to Ethernet in this layout. **Learn more:** [Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnect Hardware Installation Guide](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/hw/6200-install-guide/6200_HIG/6200_HIG_chapter_01.html) · [Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects Data Sheet](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-6200-series-fabric-interconnects/data_sheet_c78-675245.html)

Answer: A, B, E, F Cisco UCS Manager manages UCS-domain hardware and resources, including chassis, servers, fabric interconnects, I/O modules, WWN addresses, MAC addresses, UUIDs, and bandwidth. It also supports LAN configuration such as VLANs, uplink ports, port channels, and LAN PIN groups, as well as SAN configuration such as VSANs, QoS classes and definitions, and port channels. It does not provide operating-system deployment or manage non-Cisco x86 systems outside the UCS domain. **Learn more:** [Cisco UCS Manager GUI Configuration Guide — Overview of Cisco UCS Manager](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/1-1-1/b_UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_1_1_1/UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_1_1_1_chapter2.html) · [Cisco UCS Manager Configuration Guides](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/servers-unified-computing/ucs-manager/products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html)
