- A
Create a global VLAN policy in UCS Central and apply it to the service profile templates
UCS Central global policies can be used across domains.
- B
Use Cisco IMC Supervisor to distribute VLANs
Why wrong: IMC Supervisor is for rack servers, not UCS domains.
- C
Configure VLANs on the Fabric Interconnects directly
Why wrong: This is local to each domain.
- D
Define the VLAN policy locally in each UCS domain
Why wrong: Local definition is not global.

350-601 Compute Practice Question
This 350-601 practice question tests your understanding of compute. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
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?
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
✓
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.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Define the VLAN policy locally in each UCS domain
Why it's wrong here
Local definition is not global.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
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.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
UCS Central uses a policy-based management model where global policies, such as VLAN policies, are defined once and then pushed to all managed UCS domains via the UCS Central-to-UCS Manager communication channel. This leverages the UCS Manager XML API for configuration synchronization, ensuring that VLAN IDs, names, and properties are identical across domains. In a multi-datacenter scenario, this prevents VLAN ID conflicts and simplifies network segmentation.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A help-desk technician troubleshoots why a newly connected PC cannot reach shared printers on the same floor. The cable is good, the switch port is active, but the PC is in VLAN 20 and the printers are in VLAN 10. The uplink trunk only allows VLAN 10. A trunk being up does not mean every VLAN crosses it.
