Two capabilities of the Cisco Network Assurance Engine are that it validates that devices comply with network security policies and that it predicts the impact of changes to the network. The Cisco Network Assurance Engine is a software solution that uses mathematical modeling and verification techniques to continuously analyze the state and configuration of the data center network. It can validate that the network devices are compliant with the intended security policies, such as access control lists, firewall rules, and encryption standards. It can also predict the impact of planned or unplanned changes to the network, such as software upgrades, configuration changes, or device failures, and provide proactive recommendations to avoid or resolve issues. The Cisco Network Assurance Engine helps to ensure that the network is always operating as intended and aligned with the business objectives. References :=

Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) is the monitoring solution that can fulfill the requirements of visualizing the SAN, supporting VXLAN overlays, and identifying storage slow drain issues for a Fibre Channel storage environment consisting of Cisco Nexus 9000 and MDS 9000 Series Switches3.

A logical configuration backup of a Cisco UCS Manager database is a file that contains all of the configurations that are stored in the Cisco UCS Manager database, such as policies, pools, service profiles, templates, and firmware versions. The file has an extension .tgz and can be created and restored using the Cisco UCS Manager GUI or CLI. A logical configuration backup also contains the configuration organizations and locales, which are logical entities that group and isolate resources within a Cisco UCS domain. Organizations and locales can be used to delegate administrative tasks and privileges to different users or groups. The other options (AAA and RBAC configurations, VLAN and VSAN configurations) are not part of a logical configuration backup, but rather a full state backup, which is a different type of backup that includes the operational state and statistics of the Cisco UCS domain. References: For more information on how to create and restore a logical configuration backup of a Cisco UCS Manager database, please refer to the following resources:

 IP ARP suppression (D) is used in VXLAN EVPN environments to minimize flooding. When enabled, it allows the local switch to respond to ARP requests for known hosts, thus preventing the need to flood these requests across the entire network segment1. This feature is particularly useful in scenarios where there is a large amount of ARP traffic that could potentially lead to flooding, as it reduces unnecessary broadcast traffic by handling ARP resolution within the control plane2.

References: The role and configuration of IP ARP suppression in VXLAN EVPN environments are detailed in Cisco’s documentation and best practice guides for VXLAN BGP EVPN

The configuration for interface vfc 10 that meets the requirements is Option A. This option correctly binds vfc 10 to Ethernet 1/1 on N5K_1, which is part of Fabric A, and allows VLAN 11 for FCoE traffic as well as VLAN 100 for Ethernet traffic. The configuration ensures that VLAN 11 is used for FCoE on VSAN11, which is specific to Fabric A, and also includes VLAN 100 as required for Ethernet traffic.

References: = For further details on configuring FCoE and binding virtual fibre channel (vfc) interfaces to physical Ethernet interfaces on Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches, you can refer to the Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) study materials or the official Cisco documentation on FCoE configuration.

When deploying a Cisco HyperFlex edge with a pair of switches, the minimum number of interfaces in trunk mode required on each HX node is two 10/25GE ports3. References := Cisco HyperFlex Edge Deployment Guide, Release 5.0(x)3.

The benefit of adding Cisco HyperFlex Hardware Acceleration Cards to a HyperFlex deployment is increased compression efficiency. These cards are PCIe devices that offload the compression and decompression operations from the CPU, resulting in higher performance and lower latency for most storage workloads. The cards also reduce the CPU utilization and power consumption of the HyperFlex nodes, enabling more resources for other applications. The other options (offline encryption acceleration, increased network throughput, and GPU acceleration) are not benefits of the HyperFlex Hardware Acceleration Cards. References: For more information on the HyperFlex Hardware Acceleration Cards, please refer to the following resources:

 The correct data structure to use within a POST message to receive a login token when configuring the Cisco APIC via REST API calls is an XML payload that includes the  tags with nested  and  tags for the username and password. This structure is shown in Option A, which is the standard format for authentication requests to the Cisco APIC.

References := For more detailed information, please refer to the Cisco APIC REST API Configuration Guide, which provides comprehensive instructions on using REST API for system configuration, including authentication and token retrieval processes.

 Option D is the correct configuration set for initializing VXLAN Tunnel End-Point functionality on a Cisco Nexus 9000 Series platform. This option includes the necessary commands to configure the loopback interface, which is used as the source for the VXLAN Network Virtual Endpoint (NVE) interface, and the NVE interface itself, which is essential for VXLAN operation.

References := For a detailed guide on VXLAN configuration on the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series, you can refer to the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS VXLAN Configuration Guide, which provides step-by-step instructions and best practices.
