350-601 Compute Practice Question
An organization uses UCS Central to manage multiple UCS domains. They need to create a global VLAN policy that applies to all domains. How is this achieved?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between centralized management (UCS Central) and local management (UCS Manager), where candidates mistakenly think VLANs must be configured per domain or via other management tools like IMC Supervisor.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create a global VLAN policy in UCS Central and apply it to the service profile templates
UCS Central provides centralized management for multiple UCS domains. A global VLAN policy created in UCS Central is automatically propagated to all managed UCS domains, ensuring consistent VLAN definitions across the infrastructure. Applying this policy to service profile templates enforces the VLAN configuration on all associated service profiles, eliminating the need for per-domain configuration.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create a global VLAN policy in UCS Central and apply it to the service profile templates
Why this is correct
UCS Central global policies can be used across domains.
- ✗
Use Cisco IMC Supervisor to distribute VLANs
Why it's wrong here
IMC Supervisor is for rack servers, not UCS domains.
- ✗
Configure VLANs on the Fabric Interconnects directly
Why it's wrong here
This is local to each domain.
- ✗
Define the VLAN policy locally in each UCS domain
Why it's wrong here
Local definition is not global.
