QuestionQ22

Management Tools

A customer must back up large amounts of data from an HPE BladeSystem to an external backup server.

How should the backup traffic be classified and QoS-marked to prevent backup-traffic congestion on the LAN?

  • A as server egress with dot1p marks
  • B as a Virtual Connect ingress port
  • C as a Virtual Connect egress port
  • D as server egress with CoS marks
Explanation

Traffic sent from the BladeSystem to an external backup server is server-egress traffic. HPE Virtual Connect classifies ingress traffic using dot1p or DSCP and maps the traffic to QoS classes and egress queues; applying dot1p markings allows the backup traffic to receive the configured queue and bandwidth treatment across the LAN.
