If you are connecting a Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect in its default mode to a SAN, what is the operating mode?
When connecting a Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect in its default mode to a SAN, the operating mode is NPV mode (N Port Virtualization mode). In NPV mode, the fabric interconnect does not perform Fibre Channel switching itself but instead passes traffic to the SAN switch, thus acting as an end-host. This mode is the default setting for UCS Fabric Interconnects.
Correct Answer: D. Explication: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/2-2/b_UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_2/configuring_the_fabric_interconnects.html
Correct answer: D Corresponding to the link: The Fibre Channel switching mode determines how the fabric interconnect behaves as a switching device between the servers and storage devices. The fabric interconnect operates in either of the following Fibre Channel switching modes: 1) End-host mode is synonymous with N Port Virtualization (NPV) mode. This mode is the default Fibre Channel Switching mode. 2) Switch mode is the traditional Fibre Channel switching mode. Switch mode is not the default Fibre Channel switching mode.
