   A VxRail cluster is being deployed with two top-of-rack switches. The switches are stacked and the deployment guide requires the switches to be configured for the cluster. Which switch configuration step is essential before cabling the nodes?

   • AConfigure the switches with the same hostname to simplify management.
   • BEnable spanning tree protocol (STP) with appropriate port settings to prevent loops.
   • CSet the switch ports to half-duplex to match the node NICs.
   • DDisable all unused ports to improve security.

   • BUse extension cords to reach distant power outlets
   • CConnect power cables only after the cluster is fully configured
   • DConnect all nodes to a single power strip

   A technician is racking a new VxRail cluster. The cluster will use two 25GbE top-of-rack switches for data traffic and a separate management switch. The technician is about to cable the first node. According to the VxRail deployment guide, which cabling practice should be followed?

   • AConnect only one data uplink and leave the second uplink unconnected until after initialization.
   • BConnect the management port to one of the top-of-rack switches to reduce the number of switches required.
   • CConnect both node uplinks to the same top-of-rack switch to simplify cable management.
   • DConnect one node uplink to each top-of-rack switch, and connect the management port to the management switch.

   A technician is cabling a VxRail node and notices that the power supply unit (PSU) LEDs are not lit after connecting the power cables. The node is connected to a PDU. What should the technician do first?

   • AReboot the node to reset the PSU.
   • BVerify that the PDU outlet is powered and the power cable is fully seated.
   • CReplace the PSU immediately.
   • DCheck the node's serial number against the deployment guide.

   A VxRail cluster is being deployed with two top-of-rack switches. The switches are configured with VLT. During physical verification, the technician notices that the VLT interconnect link is down. What is the impact on the cluster?

   • AThe cluster may experience network issues because the switches cannot synchronize their state.
   • BThe cluster will be unaffected because each node has uplinks to both switches.
   • CThe cluster will continue to function normally because VLT is only for management.
   • DThe cluster will automatically failover to a single switch and continue operating.
