What is the disadvantage of asynchronous storage replication as compared to synchronous storage replication in a disaster recovery design?
An engineer must connect a Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect to a storage array using a Fibre Channel protocol. The SAN must be directly connected to the UCS fabric interconnects using ports 1/1 and 1/2. Which fabric interconnect configuration must be used?
A network engineer must design a Cisco HyperFlex solution based on these requirements:
• two clusters in the main data center consisting of five HyperFlex nodes
• one edge node tor the remote branch
• cluster nodes that use one rack unit of space
Which two devices should be used in the remote branch cluster for this design? (Choose two.)
Which set of actions ensures that the Cisco UCS network configuration contains the required VLAN settings and that those settings are consistently applied through the service profile templates?
Refer to the exhibit.

A cloud provider service provider deployed three geographically separated Cisco ACI data centers. One of the customers needs to host a clustered application that is spread across the three data centers. The cluster nodes that host the application need a layer 2 topology to communicate with each other. Which Cisco ACI topology design meets these requirements?
A failure occurs on the network between two BFD and OSPF neighbors. Drag and drop the protocol actions from the left into the correct order on the right.

An engineer must logically partition two Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches into two environments called Test_39919596 and Production_59423879. The environments must use only F2-Series line cards and be limited to a maximum of 265 port-channels. Which Cisco Nexus feature must be used?
A network architect designs the iSCSI architecture. The requirements are to achieve high performance and a low amount of oversubscription and to minimize latency. Which two actions must be taken to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
Refer to the exhibit. An engineer needs a solution to extend Fibre Channel traffic between multiple sites. The IPsec tunnels must be used to encrypt and secure the traffic. Which technology must be selected to meet these requirements?
A Cisco engineer is configuring MPLS VPN BGP at a customer site that is connected to the provider site by more than one path MPLS VPN BGP Local Convergence link protection is enabled. After the engineer installs the main forwarding path and the redundant backup path within the BGP, they assign a unique route distinguisher to each VRF table on all PE devices that serve as a backup to the link. What is a prerequisite for this local convergence to work?
