   During the physical installation of a FlexPod, the administrator is cabling the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects to the Nexus switches. The design calls for connecting the Fabric Interconnect uplinks to the Nexus switches using 10GbE SFP+ transceivers. The administrator notices that the available SFP+ ports on the Nexus switches are all used, but there are unused 40GbE QSFP+ ports. What should the administrator do?

   • AUse a QSFP+ to 4x10GbE breakout cable to connect the Fabric Interconnect uplinks to the Nexus switches.
   • BConnect the Fabric Interconnects directly to the NetApp storage controllers using 10GbE cables.
   • CUse the 40GbE ports with a QSFP+ transceiver and a 40GbE cable to connect to the Fabric Interconnect's 10GbE ports.
   • DSkip the uplink connection and rely on the Fabric Interconnect's management port for data traffic.

   During the physical installation of a FlexPod, the administrator is cabling the NetApp storage controllers to the Cisco Nexus switches. The administrator notices that the storage controllers have both 10GbE and 25GbE ports, but the Nexus switches only have 10GbE ports. What should the administrator do?

   • AUse the 10GbE ports on the storage controllers to connect to the Nexus switches.
   • BConnect the 25GbE ports to the Nexus switches using 25GbE SFP28 transceivers.
   • CConnect the storage controllers directly to the Fabric Interconnects instead of the Nexus switches.
   • DUse the 25GbE ports with a QSFP+ to 25GbE breakout cable.
