The correct configuration for capturing both ingress and egress traffic between a Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch and a storage array, specifically for VSAN 10, is found in Option D. This configuration involves setting up a SPAN session on the switch. The SPAN session is configured to monitor the source interface connected to the storage array (fc2/1) and send the captured traffic to the destination interface connected to the traffic analyzer (fc4/2). Thesource filter vsan 10command ensures that only traffic from VSAN 10 is included in the capture, which aligns with the requirements specified.

The configuration that meets the requirements for a media server to distribute streaming videos only to requesting clients, without propagating the video feed through shared trees if there are no requests, and supporting automatic discovery and announcement of RP-set information, is Option C. This option likely includes the use of Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) in sparse mode, which is suitable for environments where multiple routers need to dynamically discover the Rendezvous Point (RP) for multicast groups. The configuration would also involve commands to enable Auto-RP for the automatic announcement and discovery of RPs.

When configuring the connection between a Cisco MDS 9700 Series Multilayer Director and a Cisco Nexus 5672UP switch, it's important to consider the following:

Ensure compatibility: Verify that both devices are running compatible NX-OS versions to ensure they can communicate properly.

Configure interfaces: Set up the interfaces on both devices with the appropriate type (E, F, or TE), speed, and other relevant settings.

Establish connectivity: Use theshow interfacecommand to confirm that the interfaces are up and theshow flogi databasecommand to verify that the Fibre Channel login has been successful.

Zoning configuration: Configure zoning on the MDS 9700 to control access between devices connected to the fabric.

VSAN setup: Ensure that the Virtual Storage Area Network (VSAN) is correctly configured and that both switches are part of the same VSAN if required for the topology.

During an In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) on Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches, the LACP peer session is designed to remain up without any renegotiation or reset. This is because ISSU is a process that allows for software upgrades without disrupting the normal operation of the network. The default LACP timers and the ISSU process are designed to work together to maintain the session state even during the upgrade process. The Nexus upgrade process will force the chassis itself to upgrade disruptively if LACP fast is used, which is not the default setting. A disruptive upgrade means the chassis itself will fully reload, impacting all ports on the switch, not just the LACP fast ones.However, with the default aging timers, the LACP peer connection should not be affected1.

Terraform is an infrastructure as code (IaC) tool that allows users to define both cloud and on-premises resources in human-readable configuration files that can be versioned, reused, and shared. In the context of Cisco Data Center Core Technologies, Terraform can be used to enforce the desired state of the network by automatically managing, updating, and reverting configurations as needed to maintain consistency. It supports a wide range of Cisco products and can be extended to manage server infrastructure in the future.
