In an End-of-Row (EoR) deployment, where are the access switches typically located?

At the top of each individual server rack

In a centralized location at the end of a row of server racks

In a Top-of-Rack (ToR) deployment, where are the access switches typically located?

Under the floor of the data center

At the top of each server rack, with short cables connecting to the servers in that rack

In a separate building on the campus

In a central wiring closet at the end of a row of racks

A company is building a new data center and wants to reduce the number of cables and switches by carrying both Ethernet LAN traffic and Fibre Channel SAN traffic over the same physical infrastructure. They plan to use Cisco UCS servers with converged network adapters. Which Cisco switching platform is best suited to provide this unified fabric?

Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches

Cisco Catalyst 2960-X access switches

Cisco MDS 9700 series directors

What is a common drawback of End-of-Row (EoR) deployment?

Longer cable runs from servers to the access switch

Higher latency because switches are closer to servers

Difficulty in scaling because each rack has its own switch

Increased number of switches required in each rack

Which technology is commonly used to carry SAN traffic over a unified fabric?

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
