Question 1 · FlexPod Configuration Open

Which two statements are true about Fabric Interconnect L1 and L2 ports when operating in cluster mode? (Choose two)

Answer: A, D Clustered Fabric Interconnects must normally be the same model, with a temporary exception during an upgrade or migration. L1/L2 are dedicated high-availability links for cluster-state replication, not data forwarding, and operate as the cluster port channel. Cisco documentation describes L1/L2 as high-availability ports and requires direct peer connections; it also documents same-model pairing within a UCS domain. **Learn more:** [Cisco UCS 6500 Series Fabric Interconnect Hardware Installation Guide — Replacing the Fabric Interconnect](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/hw/6500-install-guide/b-cisco-ucs-6500-fi-install-guide/m-replacing-the-fi.html) · [Cisco Unified Computing System Technology Design Guide](https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/solutions/CVD/Aug2014/CVD-UnifiedComputingSystemDesignGuide-AUG14.pdf)
Question 2 · FlexPod Configuration Open

Two chassis are connected to a pair of Fabric Interconnects. The first chassis, chassis-1, has 1 link between a single IOM and a Fabric Module. The second chassis, chassis-4, has 4 links between a single IOM and a Fabric Module. The chassis discovery policy is configured for 2 links. Which statement is correct?

Answer: D A 2-link chassis discovery policy prevents discovery of a chassis wired with fewer than two links. A chassis wired with four links is discovered initially using the policy’s two-link configuration; after the chassis is reacknowledged, Cisco UCS Manager recognizes and uses the additional links. **Learn more:** [Cisco UCS Manager Infrastructure Management Guide, Release 4.1 — Equipment Policies](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/ucs-manager/GUI-User-Guides/Infrastructure-Mgmt/4-1/b_UCSM_GUI_Infrastructure_Management_Guide_4_1/b_UCSM_GUI_Infrastructure_Management_Guide_4_1_chapter_011.html)
Question 3 · FlexPod Configuration Open

Which statement is correct about the Fibre Channel QoS System Class?

Answer: B The Fibre Channel QoS system class reserves a no-drop class for FCoE traffic, and its no-drop policy is preset rather than modifiable. Non-FCoE traffic that uses a CoS value assigned to FCoE is remarked to CoS 0.
