QuestionQ22

ONTAP SAN implementation and configuration

When using tagged VLANs for NVMe over TCP on Cisco Nexus switches, which two modifications are required to enable jumbo frames?

Choose two
  • A Modify the appropriate broadcast domain in NetApp ONTAP software to use an MTU of 9000.
  • B Modify the Cisco Nexus switches to use an MTU of 9216.
  • C Modify the appropriate broadcast domain in NetApp ONTAP software to use an MTU of 9216.
  • D Modify the Cisco Nexus switches to use an MTU of 9000.
Explanation

NetApp ONTAP data-network endpoints use an MTU of 9000, while Cisco Nexus switches are typically configured with an MTU of 9216 so they can forward the 9000-byte IP payload plus Ethernet and VLAN encapsulation overhead. Check the ONTAP MTU network setting on the storage system
