Automation Design

A network architect has been hired to design a network-development strategy for Company A, which runs a large virtualized data-center environment. The company’s main objective is to improve time-to-market for application deployment. To simplify virtual-machine deployment and ensure consistent network configurations, the network architect chose compute orchestration and automation with the following parameters:

  • The connection policy must define connectivity configuration between VMs and vNICs for servers with VIC adapters.
  • Traffic flow must prefer fabric A.
  • If a server migrates, new vNICs must be assigned automatically.

Which configuration must the network architect consider for this task?

  • A Dynamic vNIC Connection Policy and Ethernet Adapter Policy
  • B Standard vNIC Connection Policy and Server Profile Template
  • C Static vNIC Connection Policy and Ethernet Adapter Policy
  • D Custom vNIC Connection Policy and Server Profile Template
Explanation

A Dynamic vNIC Connection Policy defines connectivity between VMs and dynamic vNICs on VIC-equipped servers. Each such policy includes an Ethernet Adapter Policy, and after server migration Cisco UCS assigns new dynamic vNICs when the server returns. The policy can also be configured with fabric A as the preferred fabric.
