   A storage rack design in Apstra includes a mix of JBODs (Just a Bunch of Disks) and high-performance NVMe storage arrays. The JBODs require only a single 10GbE connection each, while the NVMe arrays require dual 25GbE connections for redundancy. The rack will have two ToR switches. What is the most appropriate way to connect these devices to the ToR switches in Apstra?

   • AConnect all devices to a single ToR switch to simplify the cabling and reduce cost.
   • BUse a separate rack type for JBODs and NVMe arrays to avoid mixing them in the same rack.
   • CConnect all devices to both ToRs to provide maximum redundancy, regardless of device type.
   • DConnect each JBOD to a single ToR and each NVMe array to both ToRs, using a rack connectivity template that supports mixed device types.

   A storage rack design in Apstra includes 8 storage arrays, each with two 100GbE ports. The architect wants to ensure that the storage arrays have high availability and can tolerate the failure of a single ToR switch. The rack will have two ToR switches. However, the architect is concerned about the cost of using two 100GbE ports per array. What is the most cost-effective way to meet the redundancy requirement?

   • AConnect both ports of each storage array to a single ToR switch and rely on the spine for redundancy.
   • BConnect both ports of each storage array to ToR-A and use a single port to ToR-B for redundancy.
   • CConnect one port of each storage array to ToR-A and the other port to ToR-B.
   • DConnect both ports of each storage array to ToR-A and use a LAG between ToR-A and ToR-B.

   Which statement best describes the relationship between rack types and the leaf-spine topology in Apstra?

   • ARack types are used to define the leaf and spine switches, but the topology is determined by the cabling plan.
   • BRack types are templates that define the devices and connectivity for a rack, and these racks are then connected to form the leaf-spine topology.
   • CRack types are used to define the physical layout of the data center, while leaf-spine topology defines the logical routing.
   • DRack types are only used for documentation and do not influence the leaf-spine topology.
