Which physical component is responsible for connecting the VxRail nodes to the data center network?

Power distribution units (PDUs)

Storage area network (SAN) controllers

A VxRail cluster is being deployed with two ToR switches that are not stacked. The customer requires that the cluster can tolerate a failure of one ToR switch without any downtime. The network administrator wants to use a single port channel for all traffic. Which configuration is required?

Configure LACP on each switch independently, and connect the node to both switches.

Configure static link aggregation on the node, and connect to both switches.

Configure STP with PortFast and BPDU guard on the node-facing ports.

Configure MLAG (or vPC) on the two switches, and use LACP on the node to form a single port channel.

A VxRail cluster is being deployed with 10GbE networking. The customer is concerned about the bandwidth required for vSAN traffic and wants to ensure that the physical NICs are not a bottleneck. What is the recommended approach?

Use two 10GbE NICs per node and configure them as a single port channel with LACP.

Use a single 25GbE NIC per node, but connect it to a 10GbE switch port.

Use a single 10GbE NIC per node and rely on compression to reduce vSAN traffic.

Use four 1GbE NICs per node and configure them as a port channel.

What is the purpose of the port mapping documentation for a VxRail deployment?

To configure the VLANs on the switch ports

To record which physical port on the switch connects to which NIC port on each node

To set the speed and duplex settings on the NIC ports

To provide a list of IP addresses for the nodes

What is the primary purpose of the 25GbE network interfaces on VxRail nodes?

To provide a dedicated connection for vSAN storage traffic only

To connect to the VxRail witness node for quorum

To provide out-of-band management access to the node's iDRAC

To provide high-bandwidth connectivity for storage and VM traffic
