350-601 Compute Practice Question
A UCS B-Series chassis has four IOM modules installed. The chassis is connected to two Fabric Interconnects. How many uplink connections are typically used from each IOM to the Fabric Interconnects to ensure full bandwidth redundancy?
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
✓
Two uplinks per IOM to each FI
Each IOM has four uplink ports (two per fabric). To achieve full bandwidth and redundancy, typically all four uplinks are used (two to FI-A and two to FI-B).
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
One uplink from the chassis to each FI
Why it's wrong here
This would not provide the required bandwidth for multiple blades.
- ✗
Four uplinks per IOM to a single FI
Why it's wrong here
Connecting all uplinks to one FI would create a single point of failure.
- ✗
One uplink per IOM to each FI
Why it's wrong here
Using one uplink per IOM to each FI would provide connectivity but not full bandwidth utilization of the IOM.
- ✓
Two uplinks per IOM to each FI
Why this is correct
Each IOM has four ports, typically two are connected to FI-A and two to FI-B, ensuring full bandwidth and redundancy.
