350-601 Compute Practice Question
Which TWO are important considerations when using Cisco UCS Central for multi-domain management? (Select TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that UCS Central enforces strict homogeneity across domains, but the correct understanding is that it supports heterogeneous environments with flexible policy inheritance and local overrides.
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
✓
Global policies can be defined in UCS Central and applied per domain with local overrides.
Cisco UCS Central allows administrators to define global policies that can be applied across multiple UCS domains, while still permitting local overrides at the UCS Manager level. This hierarchical policy model provides centralized control without sacrificing the flexibility needed for domain-specific configurations, such as unique VLANs or boot policies.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
UCS Central requires separate licensing per managed server.
Why it's wrong here
Licensing is per domain, not per server.
- ✓
Global policies can be defined in UCS Central and applied per domain with local overrides.
Why this is correct
This is a key feature of UCS Central.
- ✗
All domains must have identical hardware and firmware versions.
Why it's wrong here
UCS Central supports heterogeneous environments.
- ✓
UCS Central communicates with both Fabric Interconnects in each domain for redundancy.
Why this is correct
It connects to both FIs to ensure availability.
- ✗
Local UCS Manager policies are always overridden by UCS Central policies.
Why it's wrong here
Centrally defined policies may be overridden locally, not the other way.
