Cisco 350-601 Based on Real Exam Environment

The system will automatically revert to the backup image version if the endpoint fails to boot from the new firmware image. This is a feature of the Fabric Interconnects that ensures high availability and reliability. The GOLD firmware image is used for diagnostics and troubleshooting, not for normal operation. The kickstart image is used for booting the Nexus switches, not the Fabric Interconnects. References:

 Option D is the correct choice. Configuring the vPC role priority and enabling the peer-gateway feature are recommended practices for enhancing vPC convergence times. The peer-gateway feature allows for local forwarding of packets without the need to cross the vPC peer link, which can significantly reduce convergence times during primary peer device failures and recoveries. This approach ensures that the vPC system can quickly adapt to changes and maintain traffic flow even in the event of a device failure123.

 Multipathing iSCSI traffic is a technique to provide redundancy and load balancing for iSCSI connections between a server and a storage device. Multipathing can be achieved by using multiple initiators, multiple targets, or both. However, some design choices are more optimal than others, depending on the network topology and the capabilities of the devices involved. Option C, “dual initiators to a single target with bonded interfaces,” is a recommended design choice because it provides the following benefits:

• It allows the server to use two separate network interface cards (NICs) to connect to the same iSCSI target, which increases the bandwidth and availability of the connection.
• It enables the use of link aggregation or bonding on the target side, which combines multiple physical interfaces into a logical interface that can handle more traffic and tolerate link failures.
• It simplifies the configuration and management of the iSCSI sessions, as there is only one target to deal with, and the multipathing software can handle the path selection and failover.

 A community cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) deployment model is suitable for several companies that need to operate the same application environment and integrate it with third-party protocols. It allows the development team to have control over the infrastructure, including the operating system, Python interpreter, and libraries
