350-601 Compute Practice Question
A UCS administrator is deploying a 3-node HyperFlex cluster with vSphere. Each node has a single vNIC for management and two vNICs for storage data traffic. During the cluster creation, the storage vNIC MTU must be configured. What is the recommended MTU value for the storage data vNICs in HyperFlex?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the specific recommended MTU value of 9000 for HyperFlex storage vNICs, and the trap here is that candidates may confuse it with the maximum jumbo frame size of 9216 supported by some switches, or assume the standard 1500 MTU is sufficient for storage traffic.
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
✓
9000
C is correct because HyperFlex storage data vNICs require jumbo frame support to optimize storage traffic performance. The recommended MTU value for these vNICs is 9000, which allows larger packet sizes and reduces CPU overhead for storage I/O operations. This value is consistent with Cisco's best practices for HyperFlex cluster deployments.
