350-601 Compute Practice Question
A data center engineer is designing a UCS Manager solution that requires VLAN segmentation across multiple fabric interconnects. The network team requires that each VLAN is assigned a unique native VLAN ID per fabric. Which pool configuration supports this requirement?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that a single VLAN pool can be used for both fabrics, but the requirement for unique native VLAN IDs per fabric demands separate pools with non-overlapping ranges to avoid conflict.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create separate VLAN pools for each fabric with non-overlapping ranges
UCS Manager allows separate VLAN pools to be assigned per fabric interconnect, enabling unique native VLAN IDs per fabric. By creating non-overlapping VLAN pools for each fabric, the engineer ensures that each fabric has its own native VLAN ID without conflict, meeting the requirement for VLAN segmentation across multiple fabric interconnects.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use derived VLAN pools based on chassis location
Why it's wrong here
Derived pools are not a UCS construct
- ✓
Create separate VLAN pools for each fabric with non-overlapping ranges
Why this is correct
Separate pools enable unique native VLAN IDs per fabric
- ✗
Create a single VLAN pool that includes all required VLANs
Why it's wrong here
Single pool does not allow per-fabric uniqueness
- ✗
Configure VLANs directly in the service profile using inline pools
Why it's wrong here
Inline pools are used for MAC/WWN, not VLANs
