   A network administrator is setting up a new Dell fabric with two switches. The administrator wants to use Smart Fabric Services to simplify deployment. After enabling SFS and discovering the switches, what is the next logical step in the fabric setup process?

   • AAssign the switches to a fabric and apply a fabric-level configuration template.
   • BEnable stacking on both switches to create a single logical switch.
   • CConfigure a spanning-tree root bridge on one switch and rely on SFS to copy it to the other.
   • DManually configure each switch's hostname and management IP address before adding them to the fabric.

   A network administrator is planning to deploy Smart Fabric Services in a new environment. The administrator wants to understand the key advantage of using SFS over traditional management. Which statement best describes this advantage?

   • ASFS increases the raw forwarding performance of the switches in the fabric.
   • BSFS provides a single IP address for all switches in the fabric, simplifying management access.
   • CSFS automates the deployment of consistent configurations across multiple switches, reducing manual effort and errors.
   • DSFS provides a graphical dashboard for real-time traffic monitoring.

   A data-center team manages four Dell switches that must share the same QoS and ACL policies. The team currently logs into each switch separately to apply changes, which has led to configuration drift. They want a solution that reduces operational overhead and ensures all switches are configured identically. What is the primary advantage of using Smart Fabric Services in this situation?

   • AIt replaces the need for any other network management tool, including monitoring and analytics platforms.
   • BIt automatically configures routing protocols like OSPF and BGP without any user input.
   • CIt increases the total bandwidth of the network by combining switch ports.
   • DIt provides a single point of management to apply policies consistently across all fabric members.
