 To ensure that vPC and non-vPC switches receive the same STP bridge ID from the upstream vPC switch peers, the engineer must implement the peer-switch feature on the vPC domain. The peer-switch feature allows the two vPC peer switches to act as a single logical switch for STP purposes, and to use the same bridge ID and priority. This way, the downstream switches will see the vPC peer switches as a single STP root, and will not have any STP loops or inconsistencies. The peer-switch feature also improves the convergence time and reduces the number of STP instances required in the network. References :=

Placing all EPGs in the preferred group within a VRF allows for communication between them without the need for additional contracts. This is because the preferred group feature in Cisco ACI allows EPGs within the same VRF to communicate with each other by default, bypassing the need to provide and consume contracts1. This simplifies the configuration process when new EPGs and bridge domains are added, as they inherit this communication capability by being part of the preferred group1.

References := For more information on the implementation of VRFs and the use of the preferred group feature in Cisco ACI, you can refer to the Cisco documentation on “Use vzAny to Automatically Apply Communication Rules to all EPGs in a VRF” and other related resources1. These documents provide detailed guidance on how to configure VRFs and EPGs to achieve seamless communication within the network infrastructure.

Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) is designed to help manage all NX-OS network deployments, which includes LAN fabrics, SAN fabrics, and IP Fabric for Media (IPFM) networking in the data center. DCNM provides prebuilt templates that can be used to customize fabric deployments, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient setup process. These templates include best-practice policy templates for Easy Fabric Mode and support for Python scripting for more complex policy templates, facilitating the customization and automation of fabric deployments.

Cisco HyperFlex uses the Network File System (NFS) protocol for sharing data among nodes in a VMware vSphere environment. NFS is a distributed file system protocol that allows a user on a client computer to access files over a network in a manner similar to how local storage is accessed. This protocol is commonly used in virtualized environments for ease of data sharing and management12.

References: The use of NFS in Cisco HyperFlex environments is documented in Cisco’s official installation guides and design documents

Option C is the correct command to make an XML backup of Cisco UCS Manager. The command creates a backup file named “all-config9.bak” that contains all system and service profiles configuration. The command also specifies the protocol as SCP (Secure Copy Protocol), which transfers the backup file using an authenticated and encrypted tunnel. References:

 Cisco UCS Director is the appropriate solution for orchestrating the configuration of storage arrays, firewalls, and Cisco ACI networking. It supports open automation through various APIs and offers a service catalog that allows users to manage and deploy services across multiple domains, including compute, storage, networking, and virtualization.
