   An organization is deploying an MX7000 fabric to support a mix of traditional Ethernet traffic and FCoE for SAN connectivity. The storage team requires dedicated FCoE VLANs, while the network team wants to maximize the number of available Ethernet VLANs for tenant isolation. The fabric will also carry management traffic. Which approach best balances the need for FCoE VLANs with the goal of maximizing available Ethernet VLANs?

   • AUse the same VLAN for both FCoE and Ethernet traffic to conserve VLAN IDs.
   • BUse a single FCoE VLAN for all storage traffic and reserve the remaining VLAN IDs for Ethernet tenants.
   • CAllocate a separate FCoE VLAN for each storage array, regardless of the number of arrays, to ensure isolation.
   • DDisable FCoE support on the fabric to eliminate the need for FCoE VLANs, freeing all 1024 VLANs for Ethernet.

   An administrator is configuring an MX7000 fabric for a manufacturing plant. The network carries multicast traffic for machine control and monitoring. The administrator wants to ensure that multicast groups are learned and pruned efficiently. Which configuration should the administrator implement?

   • ADisable IGMP snooping and rely on the router to handle multicast forwarding.
   • BEnable multicast flooding and disable IGMP snooping to simplify the network.
   • CConfigure static multicast routes for all groups to avoid the need for IGMP.
   • DEnable IGMP snooping and configure an IGMP querier on the VLAN.

   An administrator is configuring an MX7000 fabric for a hospital network. The network carries multicast traffic for medical imaging and patient monitoring. The administrator wants to ensure that multicast traffic is forwarded only to the devices that need it. Which configuration should the administrator implement?

   • AEnable IGMP snooping on all VLANs that carry multicast traffic.
   • BDisable IGMP snooping and rely on the router to handle multicast forwarding.
   • CEnable multicast flooding on all VLANs to ensure that all devices receive the traffic.
   • DConfigure static multicast routes to direct traffic to specific devices.

   A company is designing an MX7000 fabric for a mixed workload environment. The design includes 800 VLANs for production, 50 VLANs for management, and 30 FCoE VLANs for storage, totaling 880 VLANs. The network team is concerned about the impact of management VLANs on the overall VLAN scale. Which statement accurately describes the impact of management VLANs on VLAN scaling?

   • AManagement VLANs count toward the 1024-VLAN limit, so the total number of VLANs must be kept within this limit.
   • BManagement VLANs are only supported on specific IOMs, so they do not affect the overall VLAN scale.
   • CManagement VLANs consume twice the VLAN resources of regular VLANs, so the effective limit is 512.
   • DManagement VLANs do not count toward the 1024-VLAN limit because they are used for out-of-band management only.

   What is the purpose of IGMP snooping in the MX7000 fabric?

   • ATo increase multicast traffic by replicating it to all ports
   • BTo reduce multicast traffic by forwarding it only to ports that have active group members
   • CTo block all multicast traffic in the fabric
   • DTo convert multicast traffic to unicast traffic
