350-601 Compute Practice Question
An engineer is configuring a UCS service profile for PXE boot. The server must obtain an IP address from a DHCP server and then download the OS image from a TFTP server. Which boot policy parameters must be configured?
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
✓
Add a LAN boot entry and select the appropriate vNIC for PXE.
PXE boot requires specifying the LAN boot option with the appropriate vNIC. In UCS, the boot policy can include a PXE boot entry that references a vNIC. DHCP and TFTP servers are configured externally; the boot policy just needs to enable PXE on the correct interface.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure the boot policy to use iSCSI boot.
Why it's wrong here
iSCSI boot is different from PXE.
- ✗
Specify the DHCP server IP and TFTP server IP in the boot policy.
Why it's wrong here
DHCP and TFTP server details are not configured in UCS boot policy; they are network server settings.
- ✗
Select the SAN boot option and specify the WWPN.
Why it's wrong here
SAN boot is for Fibre Channel, not PXE.
- ✓
Add a LAN boot entry and select the appropriate vNIC for PXE.
Why this is correct
The LAN boot entry enables PXE boot on the specified vNIC.
