   An architect is designing a mixed-use rack that will contain both compute servers and storage devices. The servers require dual 25GbE connections, and the storage devices require dual 10GbE connections. The rack will have two ToR switches. The architect wants to use a single rack type in Apstra to model this rack. What is the best approach?

   • AUse two separate rack types: one for servers and one for storage, even though they are in the same physical rack.
   • BUse a standard storage rack type and connect the servers to the ToRs using the storage template.
   • CCreate a custom rack type that includes both server and storage device profiles, and define the cabling for each device type to the ToRs.
   • DUse a standard server rack type and connect the storage devices to the ToRs using the same template as the servers.

   What is the primary role of a Top of Rack (ToR) switch in a data center rack?

   • ATo aggregate traffic from multiple racks and forward it to the core network.
   • BTo route traffic between different data centers.
   • CTo provide network connectivity to the servers and devices within the same rack.
   • DTo provide out-of-band management access to all devices in the rack.

   A customer is designing a data center with a mix of racks. Some racks will contain high-performance compute servers that require dual 100GbE connections, while others will contain low-power storage devices that require only a single 10GbE connection. The customer wants to minimize the number of ToR switches and cabling while meeting the redundancy requirements. The architect is considering using a single rack type for all racks. What should the architect recommend?

   • AUse two separate rack types: one for compute racks with dual ToRs and dual-homed servers, and one for storage racks with a single ToR and single-homed storage devices.
   • BUse a single rack type with a single ToR switch and single-homed connections for all devices.
   • CUse a single rack type with dual ToR switches and dual-homed connections for all devices.
   • DUse a single rack type with dual ToR switches but single-homed connections for all devices.

   What is the purpose of rack connectivity templates in Apstra?

   • ATo define the physical layout of the rack, including the position of devices.
   • BTo define the cabling and links between devices within a rack.
   • CTo define the routing protocol configuration for the rack.
   • DTo define the power and cooling requirements for the rack.
