   A company has deployed an MX7000 chassis with two IOMs and two FEMs. The compute sleds are connected to the FEMs, and the IOMs are configured with uplinks to the core network. The administrator needs to ensure that traffic from the compute sleds can reach the core network. What must be configured on the IOM to allow this traffic to pass?

   • AA port profile on the compute sled that maps to the FEM ports
   • BA VLAN that includes the uplink ports and the FEM-facing ports
   • CA static route on the IOM pointing to the core network
   • DAn uplink profile on the FEM that connects to the IOM

   What is the primary role of the Fabric Expander Module (FEM) in an MX7000 chassis?

   • AIt provides external storage connectivity to the MX7000 chassis.
   • BIt provides compute sleds with additional CPU and memory resources.
   • CIt extends the I/O fabric by connecting compute sleds to the in-chassis network switch.
   • DIt expands the number of PCIe slots available for storage adapters.

   An administrator is troubleshooting a performance issue on an MX7000 chassis. The compute sleds are experiencing high latency when communicating with the external network. The administrator has verified that the IOM uplinks are not saturated and the CPU utilization on the IOM is low. What is the most likely cause of the high latency?

   • AThe FEM is not configured with the correct port profile
   • BThe compute sleds are using an outdated NIC driver
   • CA faulty cable between the FEM and the IOM causing retransmissions
   • DThe IOM is configured with too many VLANs
