Refer to the exhibit. An engineer is creating a service profile template in Cisco UCSM. What is the effect of setting the vnet to 'VM_Network' for vNIC_A?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that VLANs can be dynamically created or auto-provisioned when referenced in a service profile, but in UCSM, all VLANs must be explicitly defined in the global database before they can be assigned to vNICs.
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
✓
The VM_Network VLAN must be previously defined in the global VLAN database.
In Cisco UCS Manager, when you assign a VLAN to a vNIC in a service profile template, that VLAN must already exist in the global VLAN database. The VM_Network VLAN is not automatically created; it must be pre-defined under the LAN > VLANs section. Option D correctly states this requirement.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The VM_Network VLAN is a pre-defined FCoE VLAN for storage traffic.
Why it's wrong here
VM_Network is a typical data VLAN name, not FCoE.
- ✗
The vNIC_A will be placed in VLAN 1 (default) if VM_Network does not exist.
Why it's wrong here
If the VLAN does not exist, the vNIC will fail to come up.
- ✗
The VM_Network VLAN will be created automatically as a standard VLAN.
Why it's wrong here
VLANs are not auto-created; manual global definition is required.
- ✓
The VM_Network VLAN must be previously defined in the global VLAN database.
Why this is correct
UCS requires VLANs to be defined globally before they can be assigned to vNICs.
