DCID Exam - Question 119


A network architect designs the iSCSI architecture. The requirements are to achieve high performance and a low amount of oversubscription and to minimize latency. Which two actions must be taken to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CE

To achieve high performance, a low amount of oversubscription, and to minimize latency, configuring the size of the payload in each frame to MTU 9000 is crucial as it reduces overhead and improves throughput. Minimizing the number of hops between storage and hosts also helps in reducing latency and improving performance by reducing the number of forwarding devices that could introduce delays.

I would also choose B & E and the "most correct". MTU should be 9000 for iSCSI but thats a given.

Agree, but configuring the MTU = 9000 does not mean that all payloads should be of that size. In any case, the MTU options are badly redacted; not sure if intentionally or not. B&E

With port binding, the SCSI protocol will load balance across all bound ports and failover to other bound ports on link failure.

I'll go with B and E
