The image file for the firmware is embedded in the ISO and the HUU displays a menu that allows you to choose which firmware components to upgrade. QUESTION 2 What are the default settings of the Cisco IMCCIMC NIC properties on a standalone Cisco UCS C- Series server? A. 'Shared LOM' NIC mode with 'Active-active' NIC redundancy and DHCP enabled B. 'Shared LOM' NIC mode with 'Active-standby' NIC redundancy and DHCP enabled C. 'Dedicated' NIC mode with 'Active-standby' NIC redundancy DHCP disabled D. 'Dedicated' NIC mode with 'None' NIC redundancy and DHCP enabled E. 'Cisco Card' NIC mode with 'Active-active' NIC redundancy and DHCP enabled Correct Answer: D The NIC Mode drop-down list in the NIC Properties area determines which ports can reach the CIMC. The following mode options are available, depending on your platform: 1. Cisco Card A connection to the CIMC is available through an installed adapter card. 2. Dedicated A connection to the CIMC is available through the management Ethernet port or ports. 3. Shared LOM A connection to the CIMC is available only through the LAN On Motherboard (LOM) Ethernet host ports. Shared LOM EXT mode enables the 1-Gb Ethernet ports and the ports on any installed Cisco virtual interface card (VIC) to access the Cisco Integrated Management Interface (CIMC). In some platforms, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet LOM option is available. 4. Shipping (if supported) A connection to the CIMC is available through the management Ethernet port or ports using a limited factory default configuration.

3 The NIC Redundancy drop-down list in the NIC Properties area determines how NIC redundancy is handled: 1. None Redundancy is not available. 2. Active-Active All Ethernet ports operate simultaneously. This mode provides multiple paths to the CIMC. 3. Active-Standby One port fails over to the other. QUESTION 3 Which ports can access the Cisco IMC if you select Shared LOM NIC mode in the Cisco IMC Configuration Utility for a Cisco UCS C-Series server? A. the ports on an installed Cisco network adapter card B. the two 1-Gb Ethernet ports C. the two 10/100 management ports D. the two 10/100 management ports, but each port has a default setting Correct Answer: B The NIC Mode drop-down list in the NIC Properties area determines which ports can reach the CIMC. The following mode options are available, depending on your platform: 1. Cisco Card A connection to the CIMC is available through an installed adapter card. 2. Dedicated A connection to the CIMC is available through the management Ethernet port or ports. 3. Shared LOM A connection to the CIMC is available only through the LAN On Motherboard (LOM) Ethernet host ports. Shared LOM EXT mode enables the 1-Gb Ethernet ports and the ports on any installed Cisco virtual interface card (VIC) to access the Cisco Integrated Management Interface (CIMC). In some platforms, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet LOM option is available. 4. Shipping (if supported) A connection to the CIMC is available through the management Ethernet port or ports using a limited factory default configuration. The NIC Redundancy drop-down list in the NIC Properties area determines how NIC redundancy is handled: 1. None Redundancy is not available. 2. Active-Active All Ethernet ports operate simultaneously. This mode provides multiple paths to the CIMC. 3. Active-Standby One port fails over to the other. QUESTION 4 Which two are true with respect to the unified ports on the Cisco Unified Computing System 62XX Fabric Interconnect? (Choose two.) A. The port mode is automatically discovered after plugging in a LAN or Fibre Channel-attached cable. B. By default, unified ports that are changed to Ethernet port mode are set to uplink Ethernet port type. C. Ethernet ports must be grouped together in a block and must start with the first port and end with an odd numbered port. D. Alternating Ethernet and Fibre Channel ports is supported on the expansion module. E. After making port mode changes on an expansion module, the module will reboot. F. In a standalone configuration, making port mode changes to the fixed module will not cause the fabric interconnect to reboot. Correct Answer: BE "Port Modes The port mode determines whether a unified port on the fabric interconnect is configured to carry Ethernet or Fibre Channel traffic. The port mode is not automatically discovered by the fabric interconnect; it is configured

4 in Cisco UCS Manager Port Types The port type defines the type of traffic carried over a unified port connection. By default, unified ports changed to Ethernet port mode are set to uplink Ethernet port type. Unified ports changed to Fibre Channel port mode are set to the Fibre Channel uplink port type. Fibre Channel ports cannot be unconfigured. Changing the port type does not require a reboot. Port Mode Placement Ethernet ports must be grouped together in a block. For each module (fixed or expansion), the Ethernet port block must start with the first port and end with an even numbered port. Fibre Channel ports must be grouped together in a block. For each module (fixed or expansion), the first port in the Fibre Channel port block must follow the last Ethernet port and extend to include the rest of the ports in the module. For configurations that include only Fibre Channel ports, the Fibre Channel block must start with the first port on the fixed or expansion module. Alternating Ethernet and Fibre Channel ports is not supported on a single module. Impact of Port Mode Changes on an Expansion Module After you make port mode changes on an expansion module, the module reboots. All traffic through ports on the expansion module is interrupted for approximately one minute while the module reboots. b_ucsm_gui_configuration_guide_2_0_chapter_0101.html" QUESTION 5 Which two are true with respect to the switching modes on the Cisco Unified Computing System 62XX Fabric Interconnect? (Choose two.) A. End-host mode presents a link to a northbound uplink switch as a host trunk with loop detection that is provided by STP. B. For northbound traffic, server MAC addresses are statically pinned to an uplink; the return path is controlled by the unified fabric switches. C. A fabric interconnect port in Ethernet switching mode appears to the uplink switch as a host with many MAC addresses. D. Server-to-server traffic on a common VLAN are locally switched by the fabric interconnect and not the northbound switches. E. A MAC forwarding table is not used to forward traffic to the uplink switch. F. A MAC address forwarding table is maintained for server-to-server communications across VLANs. Correct Answer: DE QUESTION 6 What is true statement concerning port personalities on the Cisco Unified Computing System 62XX Fabric Interconnect?

5 A. Fibre Channel uplink ports must operate in Fibre Channel switching mode. B. The fabric interconnects use native FCoE storage ports to directly attach to the SAN infrastructure. C.

The Fibre Channel storage ports support VSAN trunking and Fibre Channel port channels. Correct Answer: C QUESTION 7 Which policy is used to update adapter firmware? A. adapter policy B. host firmware policy C. management firmware policy D. network control policy Correct Answer: B Section: (none) You can use firmware packages in service profiles to upgrade the server and adapter firmware, including the BIOS on the server, by defining a host firmware policy and including it in the service profile associated with a server.: Host Firmware Package policy enables you to specify a set of firmware versions that make up the host firmware package (also known as the host firmware pack). The host firmware package includes the following firmware for server and adapter endpoints: - Adapter - CIMC - BIOS - Board Controller - FC Adapters - HBA Option ROM - Storage Controller QUESTION 8 Which two items represent the features of Call Home on the Cisco Unified Computing System? (Choose two.) A. syslog B. send fault details to Cisco TAC C. SNMP trap receiver D. send alerts to administrators E. central repository of normalized fault data Correct Answer: BD

6 Call Home provides an -based notification for critical system policies. A range of message formats are available for compatibility with pager services or XML-based automated parsing applications. You can use this feature to page a network support engineer, a Network Operations Center, or use Cisco Smart Call Home services to generate a case with the Technical Assistance Center (TAC). The Call Home feature can deliver alert messages containing information about diagnostics and environmental faults and events. The Call Home feature can deliver alerts to multiple recipients, referred to as Call Home destination profiles. Each profile includes configurable message formats and content categories. A predefined destination profile is provided for sending alerts to the Cisco TAC, but you also can define your own destination profiles. b_ucsm_cli_configuration_guide_2_0.pdf QUESTION 9 Which two are true concerning authorization within a Cisco Unified Computing System? (Choose two.) A. A role defines a collection of privileges that determines which actions a user can take in Cisco Unified Computing System Manager. B. Authorization consists of three components (roles, password policy, and locales) that are based on which features and resources the user will not have access to. C. Customized roles can be configured on and downloaded from remote AAA servers. D. The logical resources, pools and policies, are grouped into roles. E. If the service profile cannot find available resources, it will search in the parent organization for pools and resources. Correct Answer: AE User Accounts for Cisco UCS Manager User accounts are used to access the system. Up to 48 user accounts can be configured in each Cisco UCS domain. Each user account must have a unique username and password User Roles User roles contain one or more privileges that define the operations allowed for the user who is assigned the role. A user can be assigned one or more roles. A user assigned multiple roles has the combined privileges of all assigned roles. For example, if Role1 has storage related privileges, and Role2 has server related privileges, users who are assigned to both Role1 and Role2 have storage and server related privileges. A Cisco UCS domain can contain up to 48 user roles, including the default user roles. In a multi-tenant environment, Cisco UCS uses the hierarchy of an organization to resolve the names of policies and resource pools. When Cisco UCS Manager searches for details of a policy or a resource assigned to a pool, the following occurs: 1. Cisco UCS Manager checks for policies and pools with the specified name within the organization assigned to the service profile or policy. 2. If a policy is found or an available resource is inside a pool, Cisco UCS Manager uses that policy or resource. If the pool does not have any available resources at the local level, Cisco UCS Manager moves up in the hierarchy to the parent organization and searches for a pool with the same name. Cisco UCS Manager repeats this step until the search reaches the root organization. 3. If the search reaches the root organization and has not found an available resource or policy, Cisco UCS Manager returns to the local organization and begins to search for a default policy or available resource in the default pool. 4. If an applicable default policy or available resource in a default pool is found, Cisco UCS Manager uses that policy or resource. If the pool does not have any available resources, Cisco UCS Manager moves up in the hierarchy to the parent organization and searches for a default pool. Cisco UCS Manager repeats this step until the search reaches the root organization. 5. If Cisco UCS Manager cannot find an applicable policy or available resource in the hierarchy, it returns an allocation error.

7 b_ucsm_cli_configuration_guide_2_0.pdf QUESTION 10 Which Cisco UCS Manager feature allows you to specify multiple LDAP servers for user authentication? A. Realm B. LDAP Provider Group C. Authentication Domain D. Organization Correct Answer: B A provider group is a set of providers that will be used by Cisco UCS during the authentication process. Cisco UCS Manager allows you to create a maximum of 16 provider groups, with a maximum of eight providers allowed per group. During authentication, all the providers within a provider group are tried in order. If all of the configured servers are unavailable or unreachable, Cisco UCS Manager automatically falls back to the local authentication method using the local username and password. Creating an LDAP provider group allows you to authenticate using multiple LDAP databases. Authenticating with a single LDAP database does not require you to set up an LDAP provider group. QUESTION 11 Which UCS components firmware are contained in the UCS Infrastructure software bundle? A. UCS BIOS B. UCS Fabric Interconnects C. UCS Adapters D. UCS Manager E. IO Module F. Cisco IMC Correct Answer: BDE Cisco delivers all firmware updates to Cisco UCS components in bundles of images. Cisco UCS firmware updates are available to be downloaded in the following bundles: 1.

A. executes the qualification in the server discovery policy against the server B. applies the scrub policy to the server C. analyzes the inventory of the server D. assigns the server to the selected organization, if configured E. creates a service profile for the server with the identity burned into the server at time of manufacture Correct Answer: AC Server Discovery Policy determines how the system reacts when you add a new server. If you create a server discovery policy, you can control whether the system conducts a deep discovery when a server is added to a chassis, or whether a user must first acknowledge the new server. By default, the system conducts a full discovery. If you create a server discovery policy, the following occurs when a new server starts: 1. The qualification in the server discovery policy is executed against the server. 2. If the server meets the required qualifications, Cisco UCS Manager applies the following to the server: - Depending upon the option selected for the action, either discovers the new server immediately or waits for a user to acknowledge the new server - Applies the scrub policy to the server QUESTION 14 Your systems engineer has determined all of the firmware versions that the server operating system supports.

(Choose three.) A. Port profiles define operating-system kernel parameters. B. Port profiles are represented as a port group in vcenter. C. Port profiles can be used by more than one DVS. D. Port profile parameters are visible on vcenter. E. Port profile parameters can be modified from vcenter. F. Port profiles can be modified only from Cisco UCS Manager. Correct Answer: BCF Port profiles contain the properties and settings used to configure virtual interfaces in Cisco UCS for VN-Link in hardware. The port profiles are created and administered in Cisco UCS Manager. There is no clear visibility into the properties of a port profile from VMware vcenter. In VMware vcenter, a port profile is represented as a port group. Cisco UCS Manager pushes the port profile names to vcenter, which displays the names as port groups. None of the specific networking properties or settings in the port profile are visible in VMware vcenter. After a port profile is created, assigned to, and actively used by one or more DVSes, any changes made to the networking properties of the port profile in Cisco UCS Manager are immediately applied to those DVSes. You must configure at least one port profile client for a port profile, if you want Cisco UCS Manager to push the port profile to VMware vcenter. QUESTION 24 Which two options are valid modes for VM-FEX in a Cisco UCS Manager port profile? (Choose two.) A. transparent B. bypass C. standard D. advanced E. high-performance F. low-pass Correct Answer: CE VM-FEX now has two modes, a Standard mode that was the only mode that was available in previous versions and a new High-Performance mode that leverages DirectPath I/O, sometime also referred to VMDirectPath (i.e. Hypervisor Bypass). Standard mode utilizes the Nexus 1000V VEM Distributed Virtual Switch to direct the traffic from each VM to it s assigned UCS vnic. In High-Performance mode VM-FEX utilizes DirectPath I/O to bypass the hypervisor and the DVS. As

14 mentioned the selling point of this is improved network performance since it removes layers of software from the network path and reduced CPU load on the physical host since it is no longer handling the network traffic.

A. Dynamic vnics are assigned to VMs in VMware vcenter. B. Dynamic vnics can only be bound to the service profile through an updating template. C. Dynamic vnics are bound directly to a service profile. D. Dynamic vnics are assigned by binding a port profile to the service profile. Correct Answer: C QUESTION 32 Which network driver is required on a VMware ESXi 5.0 host for a vnic to enter Cisco VM-FEX universal passthrough mode? A. VMXNET3 B. Vlance C. Flexible D. E1000e E. VMXNET5 Correct Answer: A

17 VM-FEX VMDirectPath (UPT, universal pass-through) is a feature where the network IO bypasses the Hypervisor's network kernel and communicates directly with the Cisco VIC adapter. This helps in offloading the host CPU and Memory cycles to handle VM's networks. 1. High Performance Option VMDirectPath with vmotion (supported with EX 5.0) on VM-FEX is the high performance mode of VM-FEX. You can enable this mode by selecting the High Performance radio button in the port profile. After port profile is applied Directpath I/O Gen2 status automatically goes to active state. 2. Virtual Machine Configuration with VMDirectPath The Virtual Machines using the VMDirectPath Dynamic vnics should have memory reserved. The memory reserved must not exceed the physical available memory on ESX Host. The Adapter Type for VM vnics using the VMDirectPath should be VMXNET3. QUESTION 33 Which virtual hardware version is required for a VM to enter the Cisco VM-FEX universal passthrough mode? A. Version 5 B. Version 6 C. Version 7 D. Version 8 E. Version 9 Correct Answer: D : QUESTION 34 Which feature must be configured for Linux VMs to be able to transition from Cisco VM-FEX standard mode to universal passthrough mode? A. RSS B. MSI Interrupt Mode C. VEMDPA Agent D. Execute Disabled Bit E. Processor C State Correct Answer: B In a Linux Guest Virtual Machine, you can change the interrupt mode of the vmxnet3 from MSI-X to MSI. The MSI-X interrupt mode which is the default interrupt mode when VMDirectPath is enabled, consumes four interrupts. In comparison, the MSI interrupt mode consumes only one interrupt, but causes the multi-queue feature to be turned off. The following formula gives the maximum number of Dynamic vnic with VMDirectPath mode active when all Virtual Machines run Linux Guest with VMXNET3 emulated driver and MSI Interrupt is turned on. 4 * (Static vnics) + 4 *(vhbas) + ( Num of Dynamic vnics) = < 128 You need to ensure that the Guest VMs are shutdown before enabling VMDirectPath and changing the interrupt mode from MSI-X to MSI. To change the interrupt mode from MSI-X to MSI, you need to edit the configuration file (.vmx). All supported UPT Linux Guests vnics (RHEL 6, SLES 11, SLES 11 SP1) can be forced to use MSI interrupt by editing *.vmx file and inserting the following line.

A. Port channels are always recommended when using source-dest-mac load balancing. B. The addition of links to a port channel requires a reacknowledgement. C. You cannot mix and match discrete links and port channeling for different chassis when using 22XX. D. Port channels do not require a Global Chassis Discovery policy. Correct Answer: A When you configure the links between the Cisco UCS 2200 Series IOM and a Cisco UCS 6200 series fabric interconnect in fabric port channel mode, the available VIF namespace on the adapter varies depending on where the IOM uplinks are connected to the fabric interconnect ports. Inside the 6248 fabric interconnect there are six sets of eight contiguous ports, with each set of ports managed by a single chip. When uplinks are connected such that all of the uplinks from an IOM are connected to a set of ports managed by a single chip, Cisco UCS Manager maximizes the number of VIFs used in service profiles deployed on the blades in the chassis. If uplink connections from an IOM are distributed across ports managed by separate chips, the VIF count is decreased. QUESTION 36 Which of the following is not a feature of the Cisco Unified Computing System VIC-1280 adaptor? A. capable of up to 256 virtual interfaces B. supports FCoE C. supports Cisco VM-FEX D. compatible with the C- or B-Series Cisco Unified Computing System servers Correct Answer: D The Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) 1280 (Figure 1) is an eight-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)-capable mezzanine card designed exclusively for Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers. The card enables a policy-based, stateless, agile server infrastructure that can present up to 256 PCIe standards-compliant interfaces to the host that can be dynamically configured as either network interface cards (NICs) or host bus adapters (HBAs). In addition, the Cisco UCS VIC 1280 supports Cisco Virtual Machine Fabric Extender (VM-FEX) technology, which extends the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect ports to virtual machines, simplifying server virtualization deployment. QUESTION 37 Which of the following is true with respect to recovery from failure with automatic pinning that is configured on a cluster of Cisco Unified Computing System 62XX Fabric Interconnects? A. By default, server MAC addresses are pinned to uplink interfaces using PIN groups. B. When a northbound fabric interconnect link goes down, the affected servers will use NIC teaming to reestablish connectivity on the second fabric interconnect. C. When a northbound fabric interconnect link goes down, the fabric interconnect will send a gratuitous ARP to the northbound switch to announce the servers on the new port.

19 D. In the event that all uplink ports on the fabric interconnect lose connectivity, the 22XX I/O module shuts down all of the host ports until at least one uplink is restored. Correct Answer: C For unicast traffic failover, the fabric interconnect in the new path sends gratuitous Address Resolution Protocols (garps). This process refreshes the forwarding tables on the upstream switches. QUESTION 38 Which of the following is true with respect to hardware failover or NIC teaming within a Cisco Unified Computing System? A. Hardware failover is specified by the operating system. B. An uplink failure when using automatic pinning requires that hardware failover for the server vnic be disabled. C. NIC teaming is controlled by the vnic. D. The hardware failover option that is available for Ethernet does not affect Fibre Channel traffic. Correct Answer: D QUESTION 39 Which of the following is true concerning Fibre Channel communications on a Cisco Unified Computing System? A. Each VSAN requires a dedicated VLAN to carry FCoE traffic. B. FCoE VLANs are created like Ethernet VLANs on Cisco Unified Computing System Manager. C. FCoE VLANs may overlap with Ethernet VLANs. D. Cisco Unified Computing System Manager supports a maximum of 128 active VSANs. Correct Answer: A Cisco introduced the concept of a virtual storage area network (VSAN), which is to FC what a VLAN is to Ethernet. VSANs allow the creation of independent SANs from the same physical SAN infrastructure. Cisco recommends dedicating a different VLAN for the FCoE traffic of each VSAN. This way, FCoE traffic for the VSAN can be easily identified, and the administrator can control precisely the span of this traffic over the Ethernet network. The FCoE VLAN should furthermore be dedicated to FCoE traffic; for example, it should not carry IP traffic. QUESTION 40 Which of the following are true concerning authentication within a Cisco Unified Computing System? A. Authentication domains are used to leverage individual authentication systems. B. You can create up to 64 authentication domains, each associated with a provider group and realm in Cisco Unified Computing System Manager. C. At login, the user can select the authentication domain to be used.

20 D. Cisco Unified Computing System supports LDAP or RADIUS for remote authentication. E. A locally authenticated user account is authenticated directly through the fabric interconnect. Correct Answer: E User Accounts for Cisco UCS Manager User accounts are used to access the system. Up to 48 user accounts can be configured in each Cisco UCS domain. Each user account must have a unique username and password. A user account can be set with a SSH public key. The public key can be set in either of the two formats: OpenSSH and SECSH. Admin Account Each Cisco UCS domain has an admin account. The admin account is a default user account and cannot be modified or deleted. This account is the system administrator or superuser account and has full privileges. There is no default password assigned to the admin account; you must choose the password during the initial system setup. The admin account is always active and does not expire. You cannot configure the admin account as inactive. Locally Authenticated User Accounts A locally authenticated user account is authenticated directly through the fabric interconnect and can be enabled or disabled by anyone with admin or aaa privileges. Once a local user account is disabled, the user cannot log in. Configuration details for disabled local user accounts are not deleted by the database. If you reenable a disabled local user account, the account becomes active again with the existing configuration, including username and password. Remotely Authenticated User Accounts A remotely authenticated user account is any user account that is authenticated through LDAP, RADIUS, or TACACS+. If a user maintains a local user account and a remote user account simultaneously, the roles defined in the local user account override those maintained in the remote user account. Expiration of User Accounts User accounts can be configured to expire at a predefined time. When the expiration time is reached, the user account is disabled. By default, user accounts do not expire. QUESTION 41 How many links are there between a second-generation IOM (Cisco UCS 2204 or 2208) and a third-generation half-width blade (Cisco UCS B200 M3 or B22 M3) in a Cisco UCS system? A. 1 B. 2 C. 4 D. 8 Correct Answer: C : QUESTION 42 Which policy would you change to form a port channel between a Cisco UCS 6248 and a Cisco UCS 2208?

21 A. link aggregation policy B. chassis discovery policy C. IOM connection policy D. link discovery policy Correct Answer: B Fabric port channels allow you to group several of the physical links from an IOM to a fabric interconnect into one logical link for redundancy and bandwidth sharing. As long as one link in the fabric port channel remains active, the fabric port channel continues to operate. If the correct hardware is connected, fabric port channels are created by Cisco UCS Manager in the following ways: During chassis discovery according to the settings configured in the chassis discovery policy. After chassis discovery according to the settings configured in the chassis connectivity policy for a specific chassis. Configuring a Fabric Port Channel 1. To include all links from the IOM to the fabric interconnect in a fabric port channel during chassis discovery, set the link grouping preference in the chassis discovery policy to port channel. 2. To include links from individual chassis in a fabric port channel during chassis discovery, set the link grouping preference in the chassis connectivity policy to port channel. 3. After chassis discovery, enable or disable additional fabric port channel member ports. QUESTION 43 In which situation would you be required to change a Cisco UCS system from end-host mode to switching mode? A. Design requirements call for the use of fabric failover. B. Fabric interconnect is connecting to disjoint Layer 2 networks upstream. C. HSRP routers are directly connected to the fabric interconnect. D. Upstream Cisco Nexus 5000 is configured for vpc. Correct Answer: C In Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS ) environments, two Ethernet switching modes determine the way that the fabric interconnects behave as switching devices between the servers and the network. In endhost mode, the fabric interconnects appear to the upstream devices as end hosts with multiple links. In endhost mode, the switch does not run Spanning Tree Protocol and avoids loops by following a set of rules for traffic forwarding. In switch mode, the switch runs Spanning Tree Protocol to avoid loops, and broadcast and multicast packets are handled in the traditional way. This document describes these two switching modes and discusses how and when to implement each mode. In some commonly deployed LAN topologies, switch mode provides the best network behavior. A typical example is a switch directly connected to a pair of Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) routers that are the Spanning Tree Protocol roots on different VLANs. Switch mode provides the optimal path because of the use of Spanning Tree Protocol. For example, a vnic belonging to an odd-numbered VLAN can be dynamically pinned to link X on Fabric Interconnect A. As a result of this process, traffic traverses an extra hop (the Inter-Switch Link [ISL]) to the HSRP master. When a switch is directly connected to a pair of HRSP routers, the recommended Ethernet switching mode is switch mode, because it provides the optimal path. End-host mode can be used if static pinning is employed.
