Q1Domain Verified
In the context of Cisco Nexus and NX-OS, what is the primary advantage of using vPC (Virtual PortChannel) over traditional EtherChannel for link aggregation in a data center environment, especially when considering Layer 2 loop prevention?
vPC leverages distributed Layer 2 forwarding across multiple switches, enabling active-active forwarding and eliminating single points of failure.
vPC allows for a single active link at any given time, ensuring deterministic traffic flow.
vPC requires a dedicated Layer 3 gateway on each vPC peer to handle inter-VLAN routing.
vPC's primary benefit is its simplified configuration, requiring only one configuration command on the connected device.
Q2Domain Verified
When configuring FabricPath on Cisco Nexus switches, what is the role of the "Path Information" field within the FabricPath header, and how does it contribute to loop prevention?
It includes a hop count, which is incremented by each switch the frame traverses, preventing loops through a maximum hop count mechanism.
It carries the destination MAC address of the frame, facilitating efficient Layer 2 lookups within the FabricPath fabric.
It contains a unique identifier for each FabricPath switch, enabling switches to track their position in the forwarding path.
It stores the VLAN ID of the incoming frame, allowing switches to filter frames based on VLAN membership.
Q3Domain Verified
In the context of NX-OS Quality of Service (QoS) on Nexus switches, which of the following accurately describes the relationship between a "class-map" and a "policy-map"?
A "policy-map" defines the characteristics of traffic, while a "class-map" specifies the actions to be taken on that traffic.
A "class-map" identifies and categorizes traffic based on defined criteria, while a "policy-map" applies specific QoS actions (like policing, shaping, or marking) to those categorized traffic classes.
A "class-map" is used to configure the priority queue, while a "policy-map" is used to configure the default queue.
A "policy-map" is applied to a physical interface, and a "class-map" is applied to a logical sub-interface.
