You are planning to use DWDM to connect two data center SANs that are located 200 km apart from each
other. The Cisco MDS ports will be configured with 256 BB credits. These data centers will need
connectivity for disaster recovery purposes and will be using full Fibre Channel frame sizes of 2112 bytes.
Given these design parameters, can a default 2 Gb/s Cisco MDS TE_Port be used for connectivity, and
why or why not?
A. no, because the configured buffer-to-buffer credits are not sufficient at this distance with a speed of
2Gb/s per TE link and full Fibre Channel frame sizes
B. no, because the maximum speed that could be configured on these ISLs at this distance and with full
Fibre Channel frames is 1 Gb/s.
C. no, unless you have buffer-to-buffer spoofing enabled on the optical switch

A customer environment has two separate fabrics, each with one Cisco MDS 9513 switch that has two
VSANs configured on it (10 and 20). CFS is enabled for IVR on both fabrics. An IVR topology allows the
communication of devices in VSAN 10 and 20 in each fabric separately. The customer now connects the
fabrics with a trunking port channel that can only trunk VSAN 10.
What is the impact on the SAN design?
A. VSAN 20 merges.
B. The merge will result in a single active IVR zone set.

C. VSAN 10 will merge and the full zone set database will merge.
