An engineer needs to design a network environment in a data center that uses Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches The solution must meet these requirements
• interoperate with 802 1D devices
• load-balance spanning-tree traffic
• interoperate with third-party devices
Which spanning-tree protocol meets these requirements?
Refer to the exhibit During a synchronization of port rotes, a device receives a proposal message on one of its ports that is selected as the new root port. The logs show that Rapid PVST+forced all other ports to synchronize with the new loot information. The engineer analyzes the port stales and concludes that the device is synchronized with superior root information received on the root port, and all other ports are synchronized. What happens to a designated port that is in the forwarding state and is not configured as an edge port, if Rapid PVST+ forces it to synchronize with new root information?
A company is planning to improve the segmentation of its data center network to isolate traffic of different clients across various parts of the facility. The solution must be highly scalable and provide flexible traffic isolation for a growing number of clients. Which action must be taken to best meet the requirements?
After experiencing traffic disruptions from the failure of a single router, a customer asks an engineer to design a solution that will prevent this from occurring in the future. While examining the customer’s environment, the engineer discovers that the routers are manufactured by a variety of different vendors, and they have varying amounts of CPU and memory resources. Additionally, several of the customer’s applications require the ability to fine-tune the load-balancing parameters between multiple routers. Which solution should be used to meet these requirements?
An international corporation migrates its primary and secondary data centers to Cisco ACI. The new architecture must include a disaster recovery solution for critical applications in the primary data center with these requirements:
The secondary data center hosts dedicated workloads, which must remain isolated from the primary data center.
Critical applications must have both Layer 3 and Layer 2 connectivity between data centers.
The ACI policy must be consistent across the data centers.
Flooding between the data centers must be restricted to specific VLANs.
Which solution must be used to accomplish these goals?
What influences the number of ISLs that are required between Cisco MDS Series switches?
An engineer is operating data center environment that hosts data-intensive financial applications. The applications are mostly processing HTTP/HTTPS data with large data segments, which results in a CPU contention due to the significant network processing.
Which set of the Ethernet adapter policies must be selected to resolve the issue?
Which programming model is vendor-agnostic and combines operational and configuration data in the same container?
A company data center requires a new disaster recovery solution to host critical services. The solution can sustain several hours of data loss because the services are routinely backed up to an offsite location. Also, the disaster recovery solution must provide 24-hour availability. Due to the strict policy requirements, the company wants to retain complete control of when the failover process occurs. Which solution meets these requirements?
Drag the appropriate from the left onto the current UDLD modes of operation on the right.
