QuestionQ53

Data Storage Software

An administrator needs to prepare a NetApp ONTAP cluster and a VMware ESXi cluster to connect iSCSI VMFS datastores across a 10GbE network using jumbo frames.

Which two MTU configurations accomplish this task?

Choose two
Explanation

Jumbo-frame iSCSI uses an MTU of 9000 on ESXi hosts and ONTAP data-network broadcast domains. The physical switches must support the traffic end to end and are commonly set to 9216 to allow for Ethernet framing overhead; therefore, a 9000-byte switch MTU is not the recommended setting.
