An engineer must configure port aggregation between two Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switches. The solution must meet these requirements:
• Suspend member interface if parameters mismatch.
• Load-balance traffic on multiple ports.
• Support traffic from multiple VSANs.
Which port channel configuration must be used?
To configure port aggregation between two Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switches while meeting the criteria of suspending member interface if parameters mismatch, load-balancing traffic on multiple ports, and supporting traffic from multiple VSANs, you should use a TE Port with the port channel mode set to 'On'. TE Ports (Trunking E Ports) support VSAN trunking, which allows traffic from multiple VSANs. Additionally, the 'On' mode ensures that if there is an operational mismatch between the ports in the port channel, the link will be suspended to prevent any issues.
Answer is D Moves interfaces to the suspended state if its operational values are incompatible with the port channel
yes, and TE carries multiple vsan
https://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/sw/6_2/configuration/guides/int/nx-os/pc.html on mode - Moves interfaces to the suspended state if its operational values are incompatible with the PortChannel. active mode - Moves interfaces to the isolated state if its operational values are incompatible with the PortChannel.
Answer is D
Port channel need to be active in order to suspend and the FT is in reality TF port that can be connected to a NPV switch It can be connected to another trunked N port (TN port) or trunked NP port (TNP port) to create a link between a core switch and an NPV switch or a host bus adapter (HBA) in order to carry tagged frames.
D: - Need to pass several VSAN then TE - Port-channel mode ON, because if there is mismatch parameters the port is suspended. (in case active mode, the port is isolated)
port mode must be active to suspend the link
I agree with Arch_Angel, P1Z7C and SysAd, correct answer is D. Just check the Table 6-1 in the link provided by P1Z7C!

it must be a TE port
- has to be an Edge port between two switches - has to use mode active to detect mismatched parameter Port type TE is not "configured" - there is no "switchport type te" command. It's "switchport type e" and "switchport trunk mode on" that result in a TE port.
