350-601 Compute Practice Question
An organization is deploying UCS B-series blades in a 5108 chassis connected to Fabric Interconnects A and B. Each blade has two vNICs. How should the vNICs be connected to the fabric to ensure maximum redundancy and bandwidth?
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
✓
vNIC0 to FI A, vNIC1 to FI B, both active-active
For redundancy, vNICs should be connected to separate fabric interconnects (A and B) and active-active failover is recommended.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
vNIC0 to FI A, vNIC1 to FI A via different ports
Why it's wrong here
Both vNICs still depend on FI A.
- ✓
vNIC0 to FI A, vNIC1 to FI B, both active-active
Why this is correct
Correct. This provides redundancy and load balancing across both fabrics.
- ✗
vNIC0 to FI A, vNIC1 to FI B with active-standby
Why it's wrong here
Active-standby wastes bandwidth; active-active is preferred for redundancy and performance.
- ✗
Both vNICs connected to Fabric Interconnect A with active-standby failover
Why it's wrong here
This creates a single point of failure at FI A.
