   An administrator is connecting a PowerStore node's four 25GbE ports to a single switch. The goal is to increase bandwidth and provide redundancy for the storage network. The switch supports LACP. What should the administrator configure on the switch to achieve this?

   • ACreate a static link aggregation group with all four ports and assign it to the storage VLAN.
   • BConfigure each port as an individual access port in the storage VLAN and rely on the switch's MAC address table for load balancing.
   • CCreate an LACP link aggregation group with all four ports and assign it to the storage VLAN.
   • DConfigure the four ports as a spanning-tree port channel with the 'mode active' command.

   A PowerStore appliance is being deployed in a data center with two top-of-rack switches. The administrator wants to connect the appliance's four 25GbE ports to both switches for redundancy. The switches are configured with a multi-chassis link aggregation group (MLAG) to appear as a single logical switch. The PowerStore will use LACP for link aggregation. What is the correct way to configure the switch ports for this setup?

   • AConfigure the ports as trunk ports with different native VLANs on each switch.
   • BConfigure all four ports as a single LACP LAG on each switch, with the LAG spanning both switches via MLAG.
   • CConfigure the ports as individual access ports and rely on the switch's MAC address table for load balancing.
   • DConfigure two separate LACP LAGs, one on each switch, and connect two PowerStore ports to each LAG.

   What is the purpose of enabling BPDU Guard on switch ports connected to PowerStore?

   • ATo disable the port if it receives a Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU), preventing accidental loops
   • BTo speed up the port transition to forwarding state
   • CTo prioritize storage traffic over other traffic
   • DTo enable jumbo frames on the port

   An administrator is configuring switch ports that will connect to a PowerStore appliance. The ports are dedicated to the storage network and will not connect to any other switch. To ensure the ports come up quickly and avoid any loop-related issues, which spanning-tree configuration should be applied?

   • AConfigure the ports as trunk ports and enable spanning-tree root guard.
   • BSet the spanning-tree priority to 0 on the switch.
   • CEnable spanning-tree portfast and BPDU guard on the ports.
   • DDisable spanning-tree entirely on the switch.
