Question 13mediummultiple choice
Review the full routing breakdown →

An organization has four Cisco MDS 9700 directors connected in a full-mesh topology. They use VSANs to separate production, backup, and management traffic. The backup VSAN is experiencing high latency and occasional timeouts. The engineer runs the 'show fcspf routes' command and notices that the path from the backup host to the backup target has an uneven hop count across different paths. The links are all 16 Gbps. The engineer also notes that the backup target is connected to a different director than the backup host. Which action is most likely to improve performance?

Question 14hardmultiple choice
Study the full QoS explanation →

Refer to the exhibit. An engineer applies this QoS policy to a Cisco Nexus 9000 switch in a data center. After applying the policy, storage traffic (iSCSI) is experiencing high latency and occasional drops. The engineer verifies that the iSCSI traffic is not matching the 'BulkData' class. What is the most likely cause of the issue?

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.
