   In a VxRail network design that uses a spine-and-leaf architecture, what is the role of spine switches?

   • ATo provide a high-speed, non-blocking backbone that connects all leaf switches
   • BTo provide a single point of failure for the network
   • CTo provide network security by filtering traffic between racks
   • DTo directly connect to the VxRail nodes in each rack

   Why is it recommended to connect VxRail nodes to two separate top-of-rack switches?

   • ATo simplify the cabling requirements
   • BTo double the available bandwidth for vSAN traffic
   • CTo allow the cluster to span multiple racks
   • DTo provide redundancy in case one switch fails

   A VxRail node has two 25GbE ports designated for vSAN traffic. The administrator wants to connect these ports to the network. Which cabling and switch configuration correctly supports this requirement while maintaining redundancy?

   • AConnect both 25GbE ports to the same ToR switch using SFP+ transceivers and DAC cables.
   • BConnect each 25GbE port to a different ToR switch using SFP28 transceivers and DAC cables.
   • CConnect one 25GbE port to a ToR switch and the other to a spine switch for redundancy.
   • DConnect both 25GbE ports to a single ToR switch using RJ45 copper cables.

   A VxRail cluster is configured with NIC teaming. Each node has two 25GbE ports connected to two different ToR switches. What is the primary benefit of this configuration in terms of network redundancy?

   • AIt eliminates the need for ToR switches, as the nodes can communicate directly with each other.
   • BIt provides failover capability, so if one NIC, cable, or switch fails, the other path continues to carry traffic without manual intervention.
   • CIt allows the cluster to use a single IP address for all traffic, simplifying network configuration.
   • DIt doubles the available bandwidth for all traffic types, effectively creating a single 50GbE link.
